They really are, and entirely blowing this crap out of proportion. If you read the whole interview, the reporter was being a dick too, and Luke just got fed up. His comment about the throwing money was probably said extremely sarcastically (anyone else remember a vidoc with him saying, "...and wear his ass like a hat!"? )
The level of stupidity on this forums has reached a new level, to the point it is no longer funny, but just plain pathetic.

its about the principal of simply being able to make such a simple thing like dancing in a video game available without having to pay an arm and a leg for what we already own. grow up and stop enabling bad business.

Says the child copying and pasting the same post because he has the inability to come up with a real response. You are a poor sad miserable person, that much is clear in your view of the world. And obviously you hate the word troll because it fits you perfectly. Sad thing is, you aren't even a good one. Your arguments lack consistency and backbone, and are filled with a self-righteous attitude that only makes you look like a pompous prick. So if that was your goal, you have succeeded well. But I have no more time to debate with someone so narrow minded they only like hearing their own voice in their head telling them they are always right. Feel free to respond to get the last word. I hear that makes trolls like yourself feel better about themselves and create the illusion that they won.

You make it sound like it's just us forbes magazine insider magazine and a few others all doing story's on how much a douche this guy came across
-
That's called pandering to the audience. They hear people are riled up and so they write a story about the big mean man and know that all the people that are riled up will click on it because it agrees with them.

You do understand how journalism works right? That people feed off a story. They are using the momentum of the Luke Smith Lynch Mob to create articles. Sensationalizing and fueling the fire that was started by sheer stupidity and over what was originally likely a minor misinterpretation over what Luke said in an interview, where the reporter was being a dick, and he probably just lost his cool. First off, its stupid to be pissed about something this dumb to begin with. Second, the part I'm referring to anyway is the extremists (Thus my lynch mob comment) screaming for him to 'publicly apologize' or worse yet, 'lose his job' over something this absurd. It astounds me that people can hate over something this insignificant. It only shows their lack of intelligence and integrity.
-
What interview were you reading? He asked very professional questions while this moron Luke Smith talked about how we are idiots throwing money at our screen... its insulting and if you cant see that, then you were or are the type of guy that gets pushed around and doesnt stand up for himself.
-
Actually you sound like that kind of person yourself with those issues, and are carrying a chip on your shoulder because of it, as clearly it colors your perspective on everything you read. I really shouldn't even waste my time replying to someone that clearly just re-paints everything they ingest to mean whatever they want it to, to justify their own self-righteous attitude. Freaking out about something this stupid, to start with, is just plain stupid and childish. Luke's comments were taken completely out of context, and this issue with it has been blown so badly out of proportion that it is astounding. Even the journalist Tom Phillips tweeted able how absurd it was. A direct quote of his tweet: [quote]Bungie deserves tough questions on #Destiny pricing but it's getting pitchforky out there... Luke Smith interview was actually good-natured.[/quote] He stands by his interview (which is fine, and his right to do so, even though I believe he was being unnecessarily aggressive), but even he sees this stupid online lynch mob for what it is.

Whatever helps you sleep at night cupcake. I encourage you to start standing up for yourself and try to become aware of how the world works with marketing things like video games and the evolution of it all. Stand up for your wallet in principal or else youre just blind sheep bleating... i pity you friend, at least you tried right?

Thanks for proving my point with your reply. It is much appreciated.

Agree completely. Luke even tried to end the price convo early, the interviewer kept being a dick and kept asking. I'm not putting the whole blame on him, but both were acting unprofessional.
-
personally I feel the interviewer was a dick and I was happy to see luke put the little shit in his place. it was my deciding factor in preordering TTK. seeing a bungie employee put alittle shit like that in his place made my day.

-
no, its about some people being spoiled little brats and thinking that when they dont get what they want they can cry and call it principles. you are not paying an arm and a leg for what you already own, you are paying 20 bucks for what you already own. thats lunch money. do you cry that dodge makes something as simple as a STR version of a car and charges a few arms and a few legs more for it?. do you say its a principles thing? that dodge must lower there prices because you want one but you already own the standard car and do not want to pay for what you already own? you want the special version of something you need to buy the special version of something, its that simple. crying and slaying you have principles is not going to change anything. I really do think someone needs to grow up here. buy it aint me.

Hell even the interviewer, Tom Phillips tweeted recently: [quote]Bungie deserves tough questions on #Destiny pricing but it's getting pitchforky out there... Luke Smith interview was actually good-natured.[/quote] Basically stating that their jabbing at each other and the comments said were taken out of context, and blown way out of proportion... [spoiler]The truly sad thing is the people that started, and are supporting the Luke Smith Lynch Mob movement [b]should[/b] be punished for being horrible people, but [b]instead[/b] will be placated with extra in game goodies. Now don't get me wrong, I'm all for getting extra shit, but the way these people are acting and the way they obtained it is just downright shameful...[/spoiler] [spoiler]I guess in retrospect I should thank all you brain-dead haters for your incessant whining, complaining, and all around entitled attitudes for getting me some free shit. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)[/spoiler]

Bungie thinks that im so desperate for their monotony that im willing to throw assloads of money at my screen for the sake of some animations. People who defend or talk about this issue likes its not a big deal are people that are push overs and dont stand up for themselves because they simply lack confidence. So sad gamers have to eat dirt because morons like you are blind to the obvious
-
no. people who defend or talk about this issue like its not a big deal are people that couldnt care less about some animations. its no big deal. people who are making a huge deal about this like their world is going to end because bungie is allowing people to throw money at them if the animations mean that much to them are just flat out mental. so sad that so many gamers are morons that have taken to crying over a few dance animations. its no big -blam!-ing deal, the world will not end if you cant dance in a game. hell I'm about ready to cancel my preorder and preorder TTK digital collectors edition just to have the shit idiots are crying so hard about being to expensive for you to have.
-
Edited by me2ez: 6/24/2015 5:19:04 PMBecause youre a sad little troll by nature, i could of guessed you are willing to do that regardless. Being able to do those simple animations isnt even the issue. Some guy assuming im stupid enough to buy into the scheme of overpriced content over something like a golf clap is whats insulting. This game got 6/10 ratings for a reason and instead of fixing all that is wrong with this game they mark up the price of content more and more as the game progresses. People are push overs if they dont understand the lack of principal this company has.
-
nope, sorry, not a troll. just an adult with spending money. no one is assuming your stupid enough to buy a golfclap. this game got a 6/10 rating because of butthurt children like you. its that simple and its clear to anyone who is not one of the butthurt children. you hate the game so much, you hate what bungie is doing? its a really simple fix. go find another game to play. this game got "6/10 ratings" after all, surely you can find a better game to play where you dont feel the need to cry on the fourms like this. its pretty sad to see people acting like you man.

Why do all you fools keep saying "your sad to get so upset over a few emotes..." It has absolutely nothing to do with the emotes. It has to do with the principle of respecting your consumers/clientele and not be arrogant enough to blatantly speak about such people as if they are idiots and will buy whatever shit your pushing. This is 2015 there is no more "it's just a videogame company" or "he's just a designer" Wrong. He is a part of a major corporate conglomerate and as such anything he says or does in the public eye (and sometimes private) it's open for judgement and criticism. That's just life today. He gets no pass for being insensitive to his buyers. Neither does bungie. It isn't about emotes it's about expectations of a company to its consumers.
-
this guy gets it.
-
Thank you
-
Haha!

I agree with you there. Luke definitely made a few mistakes in that interview, and let the reporter get to him. The sad thing is that he can't just be himself because people will tear him apart like they have been the last few days. This is the guy who led the head design for creating the Vault of Glass. Who has now become Head Designer not only over the new raid, but the entire Taken King Expansion. He is heavily responsible for some (if not the) best content the world of Destiny currently has to offer, and will soon be additionally offering. And people want him hung, quartered, and flogged because he had a bad day? Lost his cool? Said a few words that people took the wrong way? Wtf is wrong with people? They seriously should have their heads checked to ensure they actually have functioning brain cells... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
