[b]TL;DR - This is information sharing for those of you who have recently began to sustain from your usual Destiny endeavors, and that people like me at least won't give up the Ghost on trying to figure out where things truly went into a nosedive. [/b] [u][i]At this point, DeeJ has recieved much vitriol. This is in no way a personal attack, because I downright feel for the guy. I've realised he is the effigy between us and the borg; we stick our needles in him because the borg is nowhere around.[/i][/u] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsDCWKnOOR0 I stumbled across this video of the infamous DeeJ talking about past updates and what's to come blah blah and the interesting thing to me that he said is "When people say they love the game, we are completely willing to listen to their feedback". If I am to take this literally, then that means only people who like the game will be listened to. This puts people who are: a) Enjoying the game and loving it and have no feedback b) Loving the game but suggesting things that aren't close to the bone ...in the driving seat. Now this might be reading too far into things, but how close minded as a community manager do you have to be to state something like that? It completely discounts the people who take time and effort to compile YouTube videos, forum posts, blogs, personal reviews, Reddit threads and the like, who are so passionate about the game they are willing to speak up about the ugliness behind all the beauty. I'd like to offer this uploader's perspective in an alternate, rather humorous video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_2tQQtGL_o Say what you will, the evidence is there now. Defending this game is about damage limitation. If you love Destiny, you'll side with those that fight passionately to improve it as a product, more than just a gameplay experience. Updating weapons etc is a pre-requisite of a persistently online game, not a heroic act of community understanding. As a massive fan of Destiny, I was consumed by an overwhelming amount of activity on my recent forum posts, and became totally obsessed over not playing Destiny because I was scared of not having the full experience that I recently enjoyed. It's been spoken about until your Ghost turns blue now, but you are, one and all, seeing the blunders of their PR in plain sight. [b]The reason why people are getting so butthurt? Destiny is despite what many people say, a revolutionary game inside a conventional shell. It had the nucleus of something that would shatter the mystic veil of inaccessible hardcore MMO, something that would fuse together a persistent world with fantastic and classic Bungie storytelling. It had oceans of excitement and potential that were brought to a drought over money. [/b]
