Way too many issues and discrepancies with this particular franchise to justify supporting it any longer. Bungie constantly lies to their fans and that's never an acceptable standard for any commercial product. I'm surprised that there is still a loyal fanbase defending their business model. -When confronted about a lack of vault space... Bungie said there isn't enough space to accommodate that for last gen consoles, so out of solidarity for their users across all platforms they will not extend vault inventory space. Truth: Bungie wants to promote the usage of their new weapons and gear, and wants render all previous year's items completely obsolete, disregarding any progress players have made thus far. Why this was considered a feasible idea is beyond anyone's guess. -When asked about lack of Matchmaking/Filtering... Bungie said Destiny was meant to be played as a community with Clan based approaches on Raids. Truth: Well, how the flying #$@& are we supposed to do Clan based interactions if no basic foundation was properly setup in the first place?! -When asked about the constant weapon balancing/nerfing/buffing... Bungie said that due to an overwhelming number of players exploiting weapons that were previously untested, they will be "adjusted accordingly" as fan feedback comes through the forums. Truth: Bungie had an epiphany when they realized that they launched the game without it being finished and tested thoroughly, thanks to Activision. Moreover, they were frustrated with players finding ways to make Raids easier instead of grinding, which is what they intended. -When asked about what factor determined the price point of their expansions, which didn't supplement enough content... Bungie said, courtesy of our favorite A$$HAT Luke Smith, that it was upto the "player's assessment of value" and arrogantly suggested that most if not all players would "throw their money at the screen" upon having previewed the content. Truth: A$$HAT just nailed it. Why pay anything for an unfinished game? The third subclass was initially missing from the core game, and the story was a cliffhanger, suggesting that the game was incomplete to begin with. Bungie claiming that TTK is a standalone game and is "too big to be an expansion" just solidifies that blatant lie. -When asked about the constant Server disconnect issues across all platforms... Bungie said, nothing. Because they're still looking at the screen that says Error 404 File Not Found. Truth: Makes you wonder where the $500m budget went... *Truth: it's a pretty good rocket launcher for PVP. :-P Maybe I'm expecting too much from a consumer's standpoint, but that's what consumers do, they have high expectations from a hyped franchise and a AAA developer. I've had enough bull$hit from Bungievi$ion. Consider TTK PreOrder Cancelled. Signed, A former fan

    Truth: Activision is a publisher, that's it. I know everyone likes to blame the big evil conglomerate Activision, but the truth is Bungie has full creative control over the game and the decisions you either love or hate come directly from them. Activision sets a deadline for them to meet, that's it. Also, that $500 million is the projected budget of Destiny over a 10 year period, not the budget of one game.

    That's not why Marty O'Donnell or Joe Staten left... Activision is restricting the developers creative freedom and imposing impossible deadlines for developers to meet in hopes of a bigger share of the profit though dismantling a game and selling it as DLCs. It's all Bungie's hard work, and Activision just markets, replicates, and distributes their work. Anyone can do that. Activision doesn't deserve anywhere near what they sell themselves out to be. They're toxic, just like EA, Konami, and any other publisher that dare follow the same business model. Throughout history, it has always been the talentless scoundrels that take advantage of the talented laborers. This situation is no different.
