Bungie's extremely ethically concerning actions
After reading many forum posts here, I've realized that Bungie is up to some extremely nefarious stuff that should cause anyone with a modicum of ethical awareness severe unease. We must stand up to Bungie's clear and present tyranny.
What tyranny, you ask? The tyranny of *forcing* players to not only play Destiny 2- but *forcing* them to do activities that some members of this community find lackluster and boring. Below, I've quoted several common complaints that we all need to take more seriously.
"WAHHH. BUNGIE IS FORCING SOLO PLAYERS TO JOIN GROUPS TO DO RAIDS!"
"WAHHH. BUNGIE IS FORCING ME TO GRIND FOR GEAR BECAUSE I DIDN'T GET EVERYTHING I WANTED FROM 2 NIGHTFALLS!."
"WAHHH. BUNGIE IS FORCING ME TO WAIT A COUPLE MINUTES BETWEEN OPENING CHESTS"
"WAHHH. BUNGIE IS FORCING ME TO SAVE MY SHADERS BECAUSE THEY'RE SINGLE-USE"
"WAHHH. BUNGIE IS FORCING ME TO PLAY A NIGHTFALL/RAID THAT I FEEL IS BROKEN"
Ladies and Gentlemen, Bungie is clearly using threats of force and coercion to enslave our fellow gamers. Unlike many of us, these poor wretches have absolutely no choice but to continue to play a game that they clearly don't enjoy. Unlike us, they don't have the freedom to choose a different game. Unlike us, they don't have the opportunities to only play Destiny activities that they enjoy. Unlike us, they can't simply turn their console off when their minds are broken and tired from too much grinding.
No, instead they have to exist like some sort of Bangladeshi sweat-shop worker... collecting engrams, running endless strikes, and suffering what they find to be a joyless raid.
As a member of the entitled majority that has the privilege of being able to choose when to put down the controller, I say we join together and fight to extend the freedoms that we take for-granted to the lesser-privileged of our community. FREE EVERYONE FROM BUNGIE'S SHACKLES OF SERVITUDE!
*Shameless clan plug*

1 ReplyEdited by Orange: 9/22/2017 8:48:49 PMNicely put mate, but all the children aside, bungie has messed up with the drop system and it is bad. And I am not talking about it being to slow. I feel that the drop system is way too fast in giving people strong gear.

Ha, love it. Maybe they should make a satire window similar to the spoiler window. Some of these replies I don't know whether to laugh or feel sorry.

I'm with you! I'm sick of this company trying to reward me for playing the parts of Destiny 2 I enjoy. What happened to my mindless grind filled with self loathing? I miss that... F Bungie and this planet. Momma says when I get my own place I won't have to place Destiny any more. Down with the man... that provides me with constantly updated entertainment. I've had it. Momma has, too.

11 RepliesWhat you fail to realise is this forum is for giving Bungie feedback. All you have done is give your ego a boost by attacking the people that are trying to make this game better.

I heard Bungie threatened to nuke South Korea and Japan over this stuff.

3 RepliesEvery game company in existence. Market/Hype: 90% effort Game: 10% The only company that doesn't do this is Nintendo. You always get what you see with Nintendo. Marketing: 10% Hype: 400% Game: 100% Serious, watch the hype train for Breath of the Wild. They deliver a super hype trailer and an amazing game that excedes all expectation.

24 RepliesSo, constructive criticism and feedback regarding services provided to paying customers should be silenced? Trust me, they want the feedback. If I received no feedback about what I do for a living, I'd be terrible at it. Destiny is made by professionals. They deserve honest feedback from their community so they can process it and determine what influence it has on their plans.

Right on, brother. But alas, you left out one very important point. You do NOT have the choice to put the controller down. Bungie's cunning and devious use of behavioral science/psychology has even stripped that choice from your sweaty little hands. This game gets into your head like no other - making you crave that grind, to keep climbing that power curve to max light, to pray to the RNG gods for that one elusive weapon, shader, or piece of armor. Making you wish everyday was a Tuesday to reset the clock on the same adventures, and waiting on pins and needles waiting for Xur to show up. And just when you think you are 'done', those little bastards throw that fishing line out with the golden engrams attached just a little further to make us all keep grinding to the next milestones. Choices you say?!? Hahaha

High quality satire. I approve

You almost got me. Glad I read it.

4 RepliesThis is phenomenal. I can't believe we were so blind to the tyranny. How dare they put a gun to the head of any player and FORCE them to keep playing. Terrible.
