Why does everyone call it entitlement? Sure some of the expectations people have are unreasonable, but it isn't unreasonable to expect a quality product $140 in. Players are dropping like flies, and it is the result of repeated bad decisions by the Devs. Everyone says "it is their game we need to play it the way they want." That is simply false. We play how we want or we move on to a game that fits us better. What you and so many others call entitlement I call capitalism. The money goes to the devs who give us what we want, what satisfies us as gamers. So maybe we are entitled. Entitled to spend our money on the things we want.

    Hold the phone, it sounds like a simple word choice has rattled your cage. For that I am sorry. What I mean by entitlement (and maybe I should have been clearer) is that there is a portion of the Destiny comunity that fails to recognize that this game is many things to many people, and they demand on the forums that Bungie change their game to tailor it to their particular wants and needs. I'd agree with your statement about capitalism, but when people start having full blown temper tantrums over it I feel it crosses the line into entitlement. If I walk into a store and ask for something and they don't have it, I walk out and find a store that does. I don't keep coming back to the store every day to yell at the cashier, demanding they stock what I want because I was inconvenienced. The first part is capitalism, the second is not being hugged enough as a child. As for the $140 bucks I've paid for this game... totally agree. I expected better, and bungie should know they dropped the ball in some respects. Sales numbers and player base will tell them all they need to know.

  • I apologize, my rant wasn't directed at you. It was more towards the large percentage of people who chose that option in the poll. The entitlement argument pops up everywhere on the forums when people can't come up with an actual logical argument. It bothers me that people blindly throw money at something and say that's how it has to be. It bothers me more when they gang up on people who encourage others to vote with their money rather than be sheeple just accepting garbage after garbage release, and defend the company dumping on us all because "it is their vision of how the game should be played, we have to respect that." We don't, and the constant decline in players is proving that. If you look at trophies on psn you will see that around 20% of players who own the taken king have even finished it. Players are just getting so fed up that they drop it and never look back.

  • I hear you man, so many people are so frustrated on these forums that it doesn't take much to set them off. Part of me wonders if Bungie will eventually choose to close the forum section of their site for a while.
