Veteran Halo composers Marty O’Donnell and Michael Salvatori sued Microsoft in 2020 over alleged unpaid royalties, and now that case has come to an end. O’Donell said on Twitter that he and Salvatori have “amicably resolved their differences” in the matter.

A March 24, 2022 filing with the United States district court of Washington State confirms as much. The court was informed of a settlement between the parties, so there is no further action required. “It is ordered that this action and all claims asserted herein are dismissed without prejudice and without costs to any party,” the document says.

O’Donell/Salvatori and Microsoft have 60 days to reopen the case or start anew due to the settlement terms failing to stick. However, any pre-trial or trial dates originally set in this case are now vacated. United States Magistrate Judge Michelle L. Peterson presided over the case.
