Halo.

Yes, Halo is alive, and I predict a bright future for it and all its fans and dark, dark and shameful times for all its doubters and critics. 😇
 
Considering sales? Guitar hero. Shit produced more plastic than Down and ExxonMobil in a brief period of the 2000's

Considering importance for the industry?
Definitely Ultima.
Richard Garriot, along with other small series, defined what RPG on a computer is to a point that even Zelda copied it. Then the series laid the groundwork on modern W/CRPG (Ultima 7/8).
And then after almost two decades doing the above... The Garriott invented the MMORPG.

And after all of this... "EA Games Challenge everything bzium!" And the series went to the chopping block.

Given how the genre resurged with Kickstarter and Larian, it's impressive that not a single soul in EA Corporate had the idea to outsource it to Larian.

People posting things like Final Fantasy, Halo, The Last of Us etc are being dumb. You not liking the newest games in the franchise doesn't make it dead.

Forza Motorsport looks to quite possibly being done. Microsoft just laid off over half the studio and has the remaining members just keeping current servers running and support for other studios.

Edge lords are out with their Halo comments! 😂

Unreal Tournament is the correct answer. Damn you Fortnite!

Resistance dying is so obvious to me as a dead franchise, we see shooters go on and on, apex legends, other shooters have resistance in their DNA.
