So I just watched an amazing video by My Name is Byf showing the story of Destiny. It was so well done that it got me wistful and nostalgic for those first days when there was so much hope. So I went down the rabbit hole and what did I find in the darkness? It does not matter, things better left unspoken, things better left unwoken. I did come across something.... This interview is from right after the first game's beta and my God is a treasure trove of everything that has broth gone wrong with the franchise and all the broken promise that was there in the beginning. It is also the perfect counter to any fantastical who wants to come up with any way to counter why you can't have a negative opinion about their favorite game that they want to continue to justify because they can't suffer the cognitive dissonance of wasting 1000's of hours over snake oil. Well there's all the kids who parent's credit card paid for everything or bought them the usb device used to play with scripts so they can cheat so they have no real investment in the game anyway. Sorry I digress to my main point. Here is Deej is is most concentrated form, it is the pure essence of Deej. It is Ascendant Deej. We should play a game, y'all quote back to me your favorite gems from this interview. Here a couple of mine to get started: [quote]"In the beta in one story mission we had more people online playing at the same time than at any point in our company's history." - Deej[/quote] <---- Let that sink in when you think about Halo 2. [quote]"People had an opportunity to project their own personality into living social world of Destiny with the choices they make. Like their armor, like their weapons, we want that to be a very nuanced experienced. There should b ea counter to everything in Destiny. " - Deej[/quote] [quote]"Having had a chance to watch that many people play in the beta we've bee able to make some slight tweaks and changes*smirks* to make sure there is good diversity in the way everyone has that expression of power." - Deej[/quote] [quote]"This is a game we are going to support for a very long time now." - Deej[/quote] Oh there are so many more but I don't want to take the fun away from you, it's a long itnerview. Sorry this ia long post but it need to be laid out bare. I'll give those who don't like to read this: tl;dr They are lying liars, who lie, have since the beginning and will continue to lie because there is a financial incentive to do so. They are clearly very good at it since so much evidence sinceout wide in the open and no one truly confronts them about it so why stopc? They have really nice cars with expensive car payments and families and do not care one iota about to little number you represent on a spreadsheet. So Stop Defending Their Lies!
