Bonnie Ross wasn’t part of the creation of Halo, which best-selling sci-fi video game series that Bungie created for the Xbox game consoles. But she’s in charge of maintaining that universe, which has generated more than 60 million unit sales of Halo video games since 2001.

“I did not create it,” Ross said in a talk today at the DICE Summit, the elite game industry event in Las Vegas this week. “I can talk about it as a fan. I sure inherited an amazing world.”
