That was a rhetorical question. I see it asked a lot, usually by people who go on to lay the blame for the toxicity of the community on Bungie, for not moderating or engaging more with the forum. [b]Here's your answer.[/b] This is straight from their [url=https://archive.org/stream/357988-bungie-activision-contract/357988-bungie-activision-contract_djvu.txt]contract with Activision[/url]. They can't throw many employees into supporting the forum, and most of that talent pool is inevitably going to be devoted to design, coding, lifecycle, and maintenance. [quote]...it is agreed by the parties hereto that one hundred percent (100%) of Licensor's studio/development personnel shall be exclusively dedicated to working on the Products during the Development Term (the "Exclusive Period"); provided, however, subject to the further restrictions set forth in Sections 8.4 and 8.5 , [b]Licensor shall have the right to utilize (i) no more than seven (7) employees (but excluding any Key Members) and no more than ten (10) contractors to work on and operate Bungie.net [/b](unless any Product is in a state of Critical Risk, then the immediately foregoing numbers shall be reduced to no more than three (3) employees and no more than three (3) contractors)...[/quote] The "development term" ends in 2020, with the release of Comet 4, assuming that happens. It's possible those numbers have been renegotiated, but if so we don't really see any sign of that here on the forum. Let's look a little deeper: [quote]...In close collaboration with Activision and [b]subject to the prior approval of Activision[/b] (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), [b]Licensor shall retain the right to release[/b] screenshots, videos, concept art or any other marketing and public relations information or [b]statements via its community website[/b], corporate public relations and other outreach channels like community events and conventions. Activision and Licensor shall collaborate to maximize community development and outreach efforts. In light of Licensor's history of community building and expertise in sustaining consumer engagement, Licensor shall have the continuing right to drive community via Bungie.net, community events and other touch points...[/quote] Bungie is contractually restricted in how they can interact with us on this forum. They have to get Activisions permission to release statements to us here. Who knows how often they have to do that, and how much Activision micromanages this stuff? Not me. This certainly doesn't give them a free pass against all complaints, because in the end the Bungie execs signed off on this contract, but it's something to keep in mind.
