Ravencoin halving effects on miners

So when an halving occurs the block reward will be halved from 5000 to 2500

So miners could expect a 50% drop in revenue

There's speculation that the halving will change the supply – demand ratio and the value of ravencoin would increase

What I'm interested in is the network difficulty after the halving event, is it altered or decreased as well? Or does it stay the same if the network hashrate stays the same? Or is speculated that due to the loss of revenue some miners will leave the network and the difficulty will be reduced more as an after effect instead of a direct effect of halving?

Interested in what you guys think and any info would be appreciated
