Dear Mr. Parsons, Congratulations on your ascension to CEO. As someone who has been playing video games since the early 1980’s, I can honestly say that Destiny has proven to be my favorite game of all time. However, and as you are aware perhaps more than anyone, Destiny is in trouble. Big trouble. And I assume you have obtained your position in order to save it. I am therefore writing to you as a fan with some thoughts that I hope you will take to heart. When Bill Clinton first ran for President he had a sign in his campaign office that read “It’s the economy, stupid.” He did that so he would never forget what he needed to do to win over people to his cause. Can you please put a sign that says “It’s a game, stupid, it's supposed to be fun” on every wall in every office of Bungie HQ? Bungie was fun, incredibly fun, which is why you have such a large and loyal fan base. However, it’s not fun anymore. The part of the exotic sword quest where you had to grind for hours getting materials? Not fun. Needing to grind through months of the raid to get any decent helmets or high level armor? Not fun. Playing Nightfall or doing Crucible bounties only to get a low level ghost? Not fun in anyway. Take last week’s Iron Banner as an example. Rift? Seriously? Yeah, it’s nice playing it here and there, but when you grind through it for a week (because there’s not much else to do in Destiny at this point), and the games were so lopsided that it’s basically a punchline, it’s was just an awful experience. And here’s the thing; your team had to have known that, or at least they knew that a significant portion of your player base would not be happy, but they didn’t care. That’s one big problem as I see it. While Destiny has been starved of PvE content, your people spend countless hours messing with PvP content in pointless and annoying ways. Rome is burning, Sir, and they are playing those fiddles as hard as they can. Rift for IB was just another experiment they foisted upon their players, just like all those Days of Lag we experienced. They should have at least given options for IB such as Rift AND Control, but they didn’t. Once again, Bungie catered to the small professional cadre of players who then go out into the world singing their praises. Yeah, I went there. Please don’t do that anymore. Unless you want your entire player base to consist only of people who have their own YouTube channels, you need to understand that many of us have families and jobs and we seek games to have some fun and relieve stress. We are the many who don’t practice sniping for 8 hours a day and who will never get to the Lighthouse. As I am sure you know, any business that only serves the wishes of a few is going to lose market share in the long term. I am not here to say “unless you fix all this I am never playing Destiny again.” On the contrary, I will still play Destiny. Why wouldn’t I? It doesn’t cost me anything more to play. And that’s where I think this all slides downward. There’s no way I am going spend money on an emote or racing book when your people have treated us so disrespectfully by lying and making the game as un-fun as possible. You want my money? Give content that makes me want to spend it. Don’t do things like Crimson Days, which appears to be a weak copy of Trials (new innovation: drop it from three people on a Fireteam to two). Most importantly, and here I do think I speak for just about all of us, we want honestly and a true assessment of where this game is going. If you’ve run out of money and there isn’t going to be any new PvE content until Destiny 2, then please just say that. Maybe the whole ten-year plan wasn’t realistic and you need time to do the next game right. That’s okay. Just tell us. With all the rumors and bad information out there, we need to here from you, directly from you, so we all know exactly what is going on. Destiny is an amazing game, and that can’t be lost on other developers who see how strong your player base is. I am sure right now someone is designing a game even better than Destiny, one where players are treated with respect and far less time is spent Nerfing weapons because we are having too much fun playing your game.
