You may not like splitscreen, but for others, splitscreen is their favourite part about gaming. I love sitting with three of my friends, chilling, drinking and playing some games. They don't have to give us the feature, but that means a lot of people won't buy it. I've seen a lot of people saying they aren't buying it, because it doesn't have splitscreen. I personally won't be getting it, because I only buy FPS if they have splitscreen. A large part of bungie's fan base play their games for splitscreen and they're alienating them. They can't afford to lose fans when the budget for this game is the highest for any game ever created.
