Thoughts on Destiny Controversy from an Employee in the Industry -DONE-

I have deleted the original post contents. My goal was to inspire those who might be taking Destiny's faults to extreme levels to think a little bit more about the reasons why they may feel deceived. Only to receive too much trolling, disbelief and questioning my credibility into oblivion. I am enjoying the game thoroughly, and hope Bungie resolves many large quarrels with the game. Better itemization would be nice Better communication Better matchmaking Variety in missions These are my top complaints. It was interesting to say the least, to those that responded positively, and constructively, I thank you. Someone commented earlier who said it best what I was trying to convey: "While perhaps they have not phrased it sufficiently, we believe that the author is mainly objecting to the rampant hyperbole and vilification that permeates so much of the objection to the game. Destiny may not meet one's expectations and we firmly believe that everyone should be free to assess the games merits personally, but the constant bombardment of tirades marking Destiny as 'the worst game ever' or asserting that no one should like this game are both misleading and presumptuous. All these rabid screeds do is act as noise, drowning out the valid reasoned complaints."

    Platelamp has since edited his OP because it was so hard to take seriously, below was my original response: I've also worked as a tester and I completely disagree. I've never seen a game go backwards like Destiny has. Basic stuff is missing and the game is not nearly as big as you seem to want us to believe. Your comments are so out of scope with normal game development I question your honesty. There have clearly been redesigns and content cut to be resold as dlc. This is not normal at all. Most games do not delay to rewrite existing content into dlcs. Quite frankly, I think you're blowing smoke up people's rears. You talk about how amazing Destiny is, are you serious? It's a very average loot grind with a poorly presented story, dated mission structure and an all around lack of creativity. The loot progression itself is below average in it's implementation. The world is empty landscapes with monsters sprinkled on it. No npcs, animals, anything. It's very bare bones. You go so far as to tell people with legitimate concerns to just keep quiet and move on. That's very disingenuous and says a lot about your character. Companies are responsible for their products and Bungie has tarnished their name significantly with this disservice to it's fans. I find it distasteful you are attempting to present your work experience as a form of credibility while being intentionally obtuse about basic game design.
