Deej: The truth, critical thinking, and final argument.

I have watched this video in its entirety. I realize it is long, but unlike pro Destiny/Activision rhetoric, the truth is a little more complex, and you not taking the time to understand what is going on is what they are counting on. What we have here is the ultimate anti-fanboi argument. Contained in this video is every thing we critical thinkers have been trying to express, only to be freight trained by the deluded masses. The masses: those of us who have successfully been indoctrinated by the [b]Lord of Profiteering[/b]: Activision. Why do people persist in defending what has taken place here? It could simply be lack of intelligence or the ability to critically think, but more likely it is pride: The fanboi ego cannot admit to the truths in this video, it has gone too far for him, in his mind there is no way back. Humility is not a word in his vernacular. In a world where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, we are brainwashed via corporately owned news outlets (see: Fox News, any Murdoch newspaper) to blame each other for the situation instead of looking at those in power, those with the wealth controlling every thing. Profit is increasingly becoming a dirty word. Or at least it should be. To all the nay sayers, i give you this: You have been conditioned to disagree with the rhetoric you see here. They have achieved this because they are smarter than you. Swallow your pride and open your mind. It is time to become a critical thinker, not just a consumer, with 2D personality. For a better understanding of how corporations have become so powerful Government cannot control them, and how they are shafting us in every market we participate in, i recommend a Youtube channel called "The Trews" by a critical thinker called Russel Brand (previously a comedian). Profit has now fully infected the games market, that is why $500 million buys us a gutted husk of a game such as Destiny, Watchdogs, Titanfall and others. To Deej i say (as he is apparently reading all this): please let your bosses know that we [i]know[/i] what occurred here. [b]EDIT 1:[/b] To those saying i jumped on some sort of bandwagon with this video, here i link my previous thread, some weeks old, in which i make a weak effort in tackling this subject: http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/71096924/0/0 [b]EDIT 2:[/b] It's a tough challenge, trying to protect people who fight to defend the system hurting them. [b]EDIT 3: [/b]All big business is owned by the 1%. And thusly they don't care where you spend your money, as long as you do. The power of consumer choice is a lie. Pick up your Destiny box and read the back, it literally says "rich cinematic story telling". Can you see the problem there? [b]EDIT 4:[/b] Best insult received: "Also, I find your username hilariously perfect. Do you refer to your house as "The Superiority Complex"?" lel [b]Final Edit:[/b] I have just read the details of The Dark Below, and it will not fix the inherent failures of this game. They are pushing forward with this hacked up iteration of Destiny. They sold us one game, delivered another, and for better or for worse this is it now. It is a game aimed at the 12yr olds, the CoD generation, and I am out. I will boost friends in the raid only until I can trade this in for GTA V. See you Manhattan-side for The Divison, Guardians!

    1.) The video mentions only two scenarios about the content locked. A.) the content is being with held to charge as a DLC or B.) It was preconception as DLC. He failed to look at how much the story as changed over the year. Which means what makes sense as the team was building the areas and content may not make sense after the story has changed. Thus leaving it out until the writers and designers could eventually have it make sense to be apart of the game. So when you start claiming critical thinking, make sure you are critically thinking. 2.) Calling everyone ignorant is incorrect. You ASSUME everyone is blinded or brainwashed to the corporate man making you seem like an elitist enlightened messiah come to rescue us all from the evil. In reality you sound like an anarchist. I am not drinking that kool aid. Maybe, some of us enjoy the game enough that we don’t care. There is no rhyme or reason to it other than I like playing the game, I like the sound effects, I like the soundtrack, and the guns feel good to me. 3.) I am not sure how old you are, but compared to the old NES, SNES, Genesis games era… you would be buying games from $60-$100 (I remember MK3 was $80.00 new). Developers did not get the chance to patch a game and release DLC. They either released an ultimate version, an Alpha, Super Alpha, or slapped a #2 on it. Super Mario Bros. Was actually not even a Super Mario Bros. It was Doki Doki Panic which was re-skinned and some Mario characters slapped in. To have the opportunity for developers to expand and patch the games we enjoy is a luxury now. Instead of spending another $60.00 on a game we are able to expand on them for 1/3rd the price. 4.) (off topic) You seem too fixated on who is getting rich and who is poor. Money (unless you believe in some old Egyptian religion where you can take your belongings with you in the afterworld) is just a thing established to bring order in trades because of the human nature to survive on consuming. When you die that $60.00 will not be going with you, more likely if you didn’t spend it on something you like it would be used for the casket your’e buried in. 5.) There are different personality types out there who are just like, “Who gives a F**k, I like the game I will play it.” So don’t think you are coming in here changing peoples mind and starting a revolution. Because not all of us are brainwashed into investing into things to take advantage of us. 6.) The commentator of the video seems like he is looking for a more complex game than what Destiny was advertised to be. If he wants to be able to have a player controlled economy then he should probably invest his time and money in something that haves that. There are plenty of actual traditional MMOs out there. This to me is telling chipotle their burritos need to be like taco bells. They are two different types of business models that both sell burritos. 7.) I made the decision to purchase the game because I enjoy it. Beyond that there is no hidden meaning or I am not following and grasping at every word of the publisher or developer. I have spent $60.00 or more for dinner out with my wife. I shit that out later, at least if I spend $60.00 on a game I could expand my enjoyment past the eating and shitting. And if I start to dislike it in the future from now, then I will just sell it. Now unless you have productive feedback and ways to solve the problems in the game that would be helpful to the community then your waisting the one true valuable resource (not money that the man is taking out of your pocket) but time. The one resource you cannot get back.
