I feel betrayed.

I have a decade of B.net service. I have been playing Bungie games since Marathon in the mid-90s. I bought an Xbox FOR Halo. I have read Weekly What's Updates about every Bungie Game since. I have listened to every podcast. I have been a die-hard Bungie fan, through and through. BECAUSE of my love for Bungie, I became an XBox gamer. I haven't owned a Sony product since PS2, and never felt a desire for a PS3 or PS4. I think the Xbox One is a superior platform, and that XBox Live and Microsoft's Azure Cloud servers better suit the persistant world Bungie is creating with Destiny. They have more experience with Microsoft Platforms, and an amazing working history with Microsoft. We were told the split was Amicable. We were told they were going to continue to work hand-in-hand with Microsoft in the future. And then everything CHANGED. Bungie had their Destiny reveal at the SONY E3 conference. Every Destiny video I've seen so far mentions the 360 and X1 as an afterthought. Playstation is getting the Beta first AND exclusive content. CLEARLY there is a Moneyhat involved. Sony has shelled a shit-ton of cash to Bungie (actually, probably just to Activision) to make this happen. Bungie is being used as a weapon against Microsoft and the Xbox platforms. Sony is using deplorable tactics to make what was once the premier Microsoft Studios and Xbox platform developer into a tool of Sony. I DON'T LIKE IT. I'm an Xbox fanboy BECAUSE of Bungie, and now after a decade, I feel like I'm being slapped in the face. My loyalty has been rewarded with Bungie turning their backs on me. I understand that they are reaching out to a new audience to try and increase sales and allow a larger number of gamers to enjoy their world, but they are doing it in the WRONG WAY. Bungie has always, ALWAYS been a company that has put their community first. WE are the Seventh Column. WE are what will allow them to reach their goal of Global Domination. But now, instead of putting their most loyal fans first they are more concerned with the new frontier of Playstation, happy to assume we'll be buying their game anyway. It sickens me. It really does. Bungie has made my favorite games for almost TWO DECADES. That is the majority of my life, spent in their worlds. Am I still excited for Destiny? Of course I am. Is this going to stop me from buying it? No. And I guess Bungie knows this. Still though, it would be REALLY nice for Bungie to Acknowledge the fans that they used to put first. The people who got them where they are today. We still love them... It would be nice if they showed us they still love us back.

    Since they have you knowing you will get it anyways just do what i am doing. Waiting to see if there is change then after beta if its the same Sony Exclusive crap i will get the game much later down the line. If you want to send a message be your own person. I am not saying my method is for every one but if people just do not get the game at Release that will send a big message. Take care of the fans and the Consumers first they have not lived up to this. they are not interested in Xbox any longer. You have the power of choice. I am a fan as well started way back in Halo CE and Halo 2 was not till Halo 3 that i was able to get online. I love Bungie but not the direction they are currently going. If they want to sell me a product i better be able to see it and know its real. Otherwise i as the Consumer have the Choice to take my money elsewhere. My stance is the same. Beta is a good example where Bungie has failed. So i am waiting giving a last chance during the unjoyful Beta on my 360. People are like" Be glad you got that " I am going to be saying" Glad i got what robbed of a week for something out of my control ? I am paying for this game also full price with no extras." I feel they sold out to get money for Destiny but i am unsure what the real truth is but its how it has played out so far. Prove me wrong if any one dares.
