For those of you out of the loop, ME Chung is the Social Lead at Bungie and the main culprit behind the lack of public chat and matchmaking in Destiny 2. However, my issue isn't necessarily the lack of these basic tools in a multiplayer game, but the reasoning behind the lack of them. ME Chung had some negative experiences in her gaming history as a female therefore decided to impose restrictions on every other player's social experience for their own "protection." (source: [url=http://business.financialpost.com/technology/gaming/destiny-2-social-lead-m-e-chung-on-how-bungie-used-a-super-bowl-ring-philosophy-to-balance-community]interview[/url]) That's highly unprofessional. Personal experiences should serve as a guide post, but using them to dictate every other player's experience is extremely egotistical. ME Chung is a female gamer who has been around for awhile? Kudos. But what about the collective experience of the 1 million gamers who bought Destiny and have their own unique social experiences? The overwhelming majority of the players want a more interactive social experience, including public chat, clan chat and matchmaking. Maybe ME Chung should have considered what the paying customers wanted instead of assuming that she knew best and deciding for everyone else. I could go on about why chats are necessary, but that topic has already been done multiple times and there isn't much to add. But this one is more important in my opinion because it's the process that is highly flawed leading to a flawed product. Adding chat now won't fix the problem that led to the game missing such an important feature in the first place. Putting a narcissist as the social lead is extremely horrific and I don't want my own social experience to be restricted because of her own issues. As a paying customer and an adult, I would also like some form of empowerment by having the choice to mute/block people if I'm dealing with toxic players.
