I honestly don't think he meant anything by it, he was probably scrolling through the forums and saw this post and was like "Hah, I do say that a lot, don't I? Well, due to the contract I can't release any info till activision says I can, so I might as well have a little fun with it in the usual, cheeky, fashion that Bungie likes to employ."
I doubt he was like "-blam!- this kid in particular, I'm gonna shame him right in the weekly update, how dare he challenge me!"
Common sense, guys.

It doesnt fückin matter how he though he would look, or what his thoughts were upon posting. This shit is unacceptable. It makes him look like a little bratty bitch with his panties in a knot. The lack of transparency is INFURIATING!!! You cant say shit cos legal reasons?! OK, thats damn fine with me. Ill take "we cannot give you any details at all on the spring update at this time due to corporate reasons, but we will have more details on mm/dd/yyyy" Thats transparency. Thats communication. Any thing of that sort will be applauded by the community and will get people hyped for the date that new details will drop. Stringing the whole community along, while promising information next week without delivering for almost 2 months straight is unacceptable. Period.

While I completely agree that it's frustrating that we haven't heard much about new content other than what was in the live stream (Deej essentially stated that he is aware of us wanting more, and that he'll give us a date when he hears one), it's no reason to outright attack the guy just because he's doing his job. And it absolutely does matter how he intended it, just by reading text you can interpret inflection in all sorts of ways, his response appearing arrogant to a lot of people while harmless to others is a prime example. I could possibly be wrong, and he could have meant it in a dickish way, but given his track record of tongue-in-cheek comments it's highly unlikely he meant anything serious. You reserve your right to be disgruntled with the forums, myself, the game, and Deej, but let's not outright attack each other. Also, clauses in contracts that include the limitation of information are common practice between creative and political bodies, it happens all the time. Just because we're consumers it doesn't mean we can always get what we want nor could we even read the contract no matter how badly we want to or how much we complain. I'm on your side, like previously mentioned, about the lack of content and updates. I'm hoping we hear more soon, but I'm also understanding that not everything is up for negotiation, especially when a large publisher is concerned.
