Folks here in the Halo era aren't important. Bungie has worked to establish a fanbase, rather than a community. So they've slowly worked to have those folks dwindle in both importance and the vets' capacity to care through repeated hits on their values- many of which Bungie preached prior to 2014. It doesn't surprise me that this occurred simply because there's no benefit in it for Bungie, and those people aren't really that prominent or vocal enough for it to matter. I'll never forget 2014, with the 'Datto' Destiny streamer being so disrespectful to the existing community proclaiming how they do not matter and how they are whining over nothing, then being praised by Bungie for advertising Destiny. It's sickening how much focus there is on a fanbase over a community when Bungie used to stand for a lasting community. But that's not who they are anymore. If you're not on that train yet... Well to be honest it left the station years ago. They gave the little nod in Destiny 1. That was meant to tide us over and lower expectations. But without anything to gain? There's no reason for them to go through the effort.
