Why doesn't Bungie clean up it's PR? (Meanwhile at Bungie)
Meanwhile at Bungies secret lair…
[b]
CEO:[/b] “It’s come to my attention that people are starting to look at us, like we’re a rich evil corporation. Some have even made me look like a “Dr Evil”...”
[b]Dev1:[/b] “I wouldn’t worry about it, they do it because they LOVE you sooo much!”
[b]CEO:[/b] “SILENCE!!! I refuse to be made a Mini MeMe!... Now, I want to know who to blame, and see what we should do to fix this.”
[b]Urk:[/b] “Well don’t blame me. I think I made it very clear in last week’s interview, that I drive a Honda Civic. So I’m just a common man like everyone else.
[b]Dev2:[/b] “Yeah, but what you didn’t tell them about was the $10,000 dollar stereo system you have installed.
[b]
Dev1[/b]: “Or the thousands of Fast and Furious Fanboi upgrades!”
[b]Urk: [/b]“But I need all those things, helps me concentrate on the way to work!”
[b]Prguy1:[/b] “Vin Diesel could comfortably fit his entire head inside the muffler, it’s ridiculous!”
Urk: “YOU’RE RIDICULOUS!”
[b]
CEO: [/b]“GUYS! We’re getting off topic here, and there is something I’ve been meaning to ask you about that interview Urk.
[b]Urk:[/b] “Sure Boss?”
[b]CEO:[/b] “Why isn’t Destiny a 10 year game plan anymore, and why was I the last to hear about it?”
[b]Urk: [/b]“Umm, well…We originally thought we would have to give consumers “Content” and things like an actual story like a traditional video game, and with the original planned vision of the game, it would have taken at least 10 years.”
[b]
CEO: [/b]“So what’s changed?”
[b]
Urk:[/b] “With our intensive marketing over the last year… We found that no matter how awful we treat our clients, we don’t have to give them content, or things like a story! They will buy it because there is nothing else!”
[b]
Dev1:[/b] “Yes there is nothing else!”
[b]
Dev2:[/b] “What about Call of Duty?”
[b]
Dev1:[/b] “Oh yeah…I forgot about Destiny 2, so how’s it doing with all that wall jumping?”
[b]CEO:[/b] “Guys! Stop interrupting Urk”
[b]Urk: [/b]“So I was saying… There is nothing else on the market at the moment. Due to the fact console gaming has fallen into a plateau.
[b]Dev1[/b]: “How so?”
[b]Urk:[/b] “There aren’t enough “Next gen” systems on the market to warrant Developers to make games solely for those systems, so they are busy trying to make games still work on 10 year old systems”
[b]
Dev2:[/b] “Isn’t that exactly what we are doing?”
[b]
Dev1:[/b] “But we are the BEST at it!”
[b]
Urk:[/b] “It’s also why we need to shut the project down early… As Ps3 and Xbox360’s, were not designed to run for 20 years! Most suffer from overheating and nerd rage.
[b]CEO: [/b]“I have to say, that beard makes you look Hemingway! But this is why I pay you Six figures, and the rest of these clowns are only earning four!”
[b]
Dev2:[/b] “Wait! What?”
[b]Dev1: [/b]“Hey!”
[b]CEO:[/b] “Now let’s hear some suggestions on making me look less evil”
[b]Dev1:[/b] “Don’t ask me, I used to work for google”
[b]Dev2:[/b] “Durrr…My four figures brain can’t solve six figures problems”
[b]CEO:[/b] “….”

I enjoyed this read. Well done op.

Edited by KrazyM82: 10/4/2015 8:24:00 AMThis is why... Bungie is not what they used to be without Joe Staten and the MANY designers that were there during the halo days. There is no trust because they have demonstrated THEY can NOT be trusted time and time again. Bungie has shown that they, on MANY occasions, they either ignore A LOT of good ideas from many people like Malphisto, a whole bunch of others and even YOU, whom have had outstanding ideas or that they are either incompetent or just unable to implement those ideas. Innovative rather than planned obsolescence or extortion/ponzi scheme/pay wall tactics Right!? https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/157307267/0/0 But yet they can make purple balls glow at the tower and patch loot caves and fix "issues" with posts going missing REAL quick, sometimes within the same day! But yet the BIG issues go unnoticed or not even acknowledged! Issues like dedicated servers and fixing obvious lag with pvp and even pve. Optional matchmaking...don't get me started...upgradeable year 1 gear. Vault space. The loot system. REMOVAL of content for non ttk buyers. Many more issues still. But I just listed the big ones. And through all of this, what has been bungies approach to the issues they have fixed? 1 step forward and 2 steps back. And I'm not talking about Paula Abduls song neither. For every fix they create more issues, like with the increase in vault space. It was nice and should have been implemented since launch...but was instantly nullified with all the gear they made obsolete with ttk. Then again what do they care when they got our money? Previous currencies nullified with the next dlc. What do they care when they got our money? An obvious beta game for $60 to $100 was sold to us but yet they talk of potential with ttk, when it is WAY PAST the potential part. Day 1 should have been the proof! But what do they care when they have our money? HOW was bought by many just before ttk. And now all of HOW, Crota and VOG is pointless. Almost all the exotics we have now...some of them just recently found...less powerful than any green or blue weapon in ttk! But what do they care, they have our money? We ask for optional matchmaking and their response? Remove some matchmaking! Cause they already have our money! Bungie has shown to us that as long as we continue to give them money, they can make any changes they want regardless if we asked for it or not, why? Because we agreed to their terms when we gave them more money. So...it's fairly obvious that no matter how many great ideas are presented to bungie...no matter how many fixes are brought to their attention...they simply don't care because they know that a lot of people are going to throw money at the screen. They have shown their intentions through their actions and in most cases, inaction! The [b][i]ONLY[/i][/b] thing that [b][i]WILL[/i][/b] motivate bungie and activision to change for the better and learn how to treat their customers is a [b][i]BOYCOTT.[/i][/b] I simply refuse to pay $100 for a beta game and then tell them how to make said game better. I refuse to pay them to do THEIR job! Why should we have to pay to help make a game that SHOULD have been made ALREADY? We didn't have to pay to help make Halo or Halo 2 did we? And why should we pay to only have the rug pulled from under our feet with every "update" or dlc? So...until bungie and activision learn how to treat their customers and fix the big issues with the game I will certainly not give them more money...I will instead... [b][i]BOYCOTT BUNGIE AND ACTIVISION[/i][/b]

Because the people that would normally call them out on their bullshit are still riding the TTK hype train. (Looking at you Kotaku, gamerant)

No crap, people need to upgrade systems. My buddy and I are tired of crappy randoms in GTA because most of the people we know are still on 360. As for Bungie their image is trashed at this point to any legitimate gamer.

2 RepliesYou do understand that just a bare handful of people on this forum with negative comments cannot possibly stem the tide of positive PR they are getting from user reviews and credible gaming review sites on TTK right?
