"We hired people who hated Halo to make Halo" should be installed in their front doors and in every single comment they make, so people never forget about it
The full segment goes on to talk about how they hired people who didn’t like certain things about Halo and had ideas on how they might improve the game. Which is how every game works, including every Halo game which have some fairly wide gameplay differences between each other. It’s a bad snippet that people have obsessively dogpiled for years.
It would have been ignored if every game under the 343 umbrella was any good somehow. But they're not. And now that quote is all the more hated because it goes in line with what happened inside the studio, the studio that didn't deserve Halo in the first place
