As a Father of two, I️ know that I️ only CATCH my kids lying about 25% of the time (anecdotal) and that they are only getting better at it as time goes on.
Now correct me if I️ am wrong... we as a community have now caught Bungie lying directly to our collective face 3 times.
1 - The weapon balance patch in which auto rifles were “intentionally” buffed by 0.04%
2 - The SBMM disaster.
3 - XP throttling
A shaky 4th would be the lie of omission about the fact that they doubled the required XP to gain a post lvl 20 rank
Bungie keeps proving themselves to be the opposite of a trustworthy company.
Does Bungie need to make money? Of course they do, it is a business BUT the difference between a GOOD company and a BAD company is that the GOOD company makes profits off of high quality products and caring for their product and their consumers.
A BAD company attempts to use shortcuts, exploits, lies and excuses to trick/coerce their consumers to give them more money.
Now... you tell me
Is Bungie behaving like a GOOD company or a BAD one?
EDIT 1:
The XP lie was a combination of omitting pertinent gameplay information and intentionally not representing the lose of XP in the UI.
EDIT 2:
Keep the list growing everyone, I keep seeing more and more lies that I forgot about, a truly disheartening pattern of behavior by one of the most renowned studios in gaming history.
EDIT 3:
I am very glad they have cancelled the stream tomorrow in light of community concerns. I don’t expect it BUT I hope that they do a no BS blog post that addresses our concerns and at least acknowledges the fact that they screwed up.
Here is hoping next week is a better week for this community than the last!

1 Blog and 2 sTreams might do the job

One time too many

How many more months will the Bungie Defendants defend Bungie?

Destiny 2 fanboys will flame me to hades for this but its simple: Don't preorder/buy D3 and don't buy DLC. Find another game that you ENJOY and play that. I have.

They also lied abour vault space in D1 around roi to aot era

See those mountains, you can go there! The last thing we wanted was for you to look at your favorite gun or helmet and decide that it had become obsolete…the time you invested in your stuff should be respected. We removed tokens from lost sector destructables because of fireteams. Paid carries in content is not permitted.

You forgot about 4 and 5 4: Destiny has a story 5: it's all playable terrain
-
EA gets roasted for Microtransactions..... Bungie/Activision "Hold my beer."
-
They will always get away with it. Cause they have a name and a name means more than anything to the fans who follow it
-
Bungie will never earn back player trust if they keep pulling these kinds of shenanigans.
-
They cap 95% of your XP gains with the intention to make you buy silver! Literally all the good items in the game are locked behind bright engrams lmao!

Want to see bungie lying? Watch the destiny 1 teaser from 2013-early 2014 and see how destiny 1 ended up. It would be easier to keep a list about what bungie is not lying about.

I'm so over crucible all you do is get team shot all to hell. Destiny one you can go in solo and wreck people and now it's usually a group of 4 against 4 randoms and every time you step out it's team shots. Head glitches everywhere. It got old real fast

Every business crossed a line and messed up. Apple had it's dark days, MS, google, Amazon etc but they all delivered... Bungie is basking in the glory of their early success and milking the customers with crap product. They have yet to deliver something beyond D1 that will make them a gaming legend and something worth remembering few years from now. Unfortunately, like others have said, they are turning into EA very quickly and losing out. My only gripe is that we as a community will never get a chance to play what could have possibly been the best franchise in our life time... Just because Bungie screwed up. I have played a lot of good games in their peak times and some of them survived for decades (Civ, Sims, C&C etc) and Destiny could have been another one of such great title if it wasn't for Bungie's incompetence... Sad, very sad.

Fake advertising. 1.there will be a ton of loot! ( no loot ) 2. New game engine will allow us to put out new content faster ( no content ) continue below if you want

Time for Luke "The Liar" Smith to step down. Then maybe they can start to create a corporate culture of Honesty.
-
Players are almost going to complain about how much story D2 has. See that mountain over there, you can go there. We've been listening and we know what you've asked for.
-
Wherever you see you can go.
-
There are more than three occasions we were lied to in destiny 1 alone
-
Get ready for another set with this blog. Lol we know they're either going to talk around things, lie, or set the players up for more disappointment. This is just to get people to commit to buying this DLC. They aren't going to do anything. It's Bungie. Come on guys. It's... it's Bungie. We know how this is going to go. I'm here for it, to watch the hilarious crash and burn - but I haven't logged onto D2 in... I'm not sure how long. This game is trash, this studio is trash. They missed their chance.
-
Its a video game. If it sucks, dont play it. If Bungie doesnt care, they can go out of business. Destiny dying off well before their decade marked goal will be a big deal for a day or two, give it time.
-
Give me an example of a good honest company. Don't confuse lying for lack of transparency.
-
I think Laymen Gaming YouTube video "Bungie Can't Stop Lying To Its Dwindling Playerbase" sums up the real $h!t Bungie is in right now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FTbaPf18z4 Published on Nov 27, 2017

You should worry more about your parenting. Teach your children the importance of not being liars

Edited by Helios247: 11/29/2017 4:18:32 PMIt's just so crazy that they don't listen to us, AND they don't tell us shit either.
