Bungie Shills/Mindless consumers

Due to the amount of heat I got for my previous post about why Leviathan should be brought back as free content in the legends tab I want to pose another question. Why do so many people that play this game act like mindless consumers who believe bungie is capable of doing no wrong? No matter what their practices are, even if a situation actually disadvantages themselves these players will mindlessly support the status quo and believe bungie is correct and right in what they are doing. The only evidence I have for this is people who were pro vaulting content (weapon sunsetting is a whole different can of worms which I am not ready to open). And people who actively think the game should have less free content (people who seem to love pay-walls?) I appreciate bungie has put out some amazing work in their games and I myself love what they are doing with the narrative and story in the present game. But paying for every piece of content while having no appetite for critique is a blatantly naive and honestly quite childish mindset to be in. Why does this exist?

    Bungie has integrated many manipulative practices to get people addicted to the game without their knowledge. A lot of these people are the same people who will die on the Bungo hill regardless of how ridiculous the argument may be. This game has tons of aim assist and fluid movement which tricks the average player into thinking they are some sort of gaming god when this is not the case. Since they only get that feeling playing Destiny they become addicted and attached to it and will double down in their defense of this shitty hamster wheel mobile game. A good example of this is when they deliberately release things that are overpowered but locked behind a substantial paywall only to nerf it into the ground once the sales numbers drop off. These average players who think they are gaming gods will start dying to these broken items in crucible or see someone else excel in a raid etc w said items and that will hurt their fragile ego and thus they purchase the ever increasing amount of monetized trash in this game only for it to get nerfed then it's on the the next thing. The nepotistic relationship between Bungo and content creators is another means of manipulation. Clickbait vids about the newest and most broken/OP gun/item that is in reality just some halfassed reskin of an older weapon but seems strong because the player using it can use any weapon in the game and slay out in public lobbies due to the deliberately unbalanced matchmaking which favors said content creators perpetuates this shitty and manipulative cycle. This game is structured very carefully and deliberately. It just seems like Bungo are trash developers who are creatively bankrupt when the truth is that they are very creative but morally bankrupt. Just look at what the employees of the company say to the players, it's always the same non-answer or some sort of sarcastic remark. Other times its actual gaslighting.
