PandaPaPa146... I don’t know what you’ve experienced as far as addictions/ relationships with addicts wether it be via drugs, gambling, or alcohol; but the way you phrased/compared Bungie’s relationship with the Destiny community is beyond despicable, extremely offensive, hurtful, close minded and above all else uneducated. Even though I know nothing of your walk of life, I would jump to the conclusion that you have not the slightest clue how hard it is for addicts/ people with addictive personality disorder. Hearing encouraging and sound advice from a loved one hardly falls on deaf ears. Whatever your poison, no matter how tight of a grip it has on you and what’s most important in your life, every heartbreaking word a loved one is expressing to an addict hits the heart by “Way of A Thousand Cuts”. As destroyed and torn down that addict is (merely a hollow shell of the person they once were); those begging attempts, prayers, and pleas for a fathers/mothers/sons/daughters/lovers/friends/ or even a complete strangers life...are more than not the words that save them. I’ve been blessed with a good life, great upbringing, and have many people and family members that care a great deal about me. I was and still am very outgoing and am extremely caring of anyone I cross paths with. Even though I was brought up this way, that still didn’t stop me from getting addicted to painkillers for 2 1/2 years followed by Heroin (H) for 2 1/2 years after that. Leading up to my addiction, I was a new father and continued to expand my family into my addiction. I was working 75 hours a week every week to provide for my wife and beautiful daughters. Then in a flash, CPS separated my family because of a neighbor who stole my Xbox, pawned it, and was returned to me by the police. He called CPS and claimed my wife and children were in the worst environment possible which was far from the truth. My wife and I addicted to those drugs together lost our apartment, became homeless and lived in a vehicle sick everyday all because of trying to numb the pain of losing temporary custody of my girls. All I’ve ever wanted to be in life was a good father and loving husband, and even though I’ve caused everyone who holds me dear so much pain and put myself and my immediate family in the most challenging time of our lives...hitting rock bottom, dying and being brought back to life...all the hardships we’ve faced, has made me the best person I could only have dreamt of being. That being said, my parents, aunts and uncles, cousins, daughters etc, begged me countless amount of times to change and get my life back together, and even though it took 2 1/2 years from when things got their worst, I heard every word they had said. I used those words or encouragement, those tears, and that heartache to face my addiction, walk the never ending road of recovery and strived to get the most important thing in my life back...My Heart: My Family. So many people who suffer from a tremendous amount of grief, depression, anxiety and loss succumb to the unrelenting darkness of addiction and never find their way to the light. I am so lucky to be able to be the father/husband I was meant to be and even though I’ve found my light, darkness is always there, never far, one slip away. A never ending battle. As long as there are people out there that have a struggling/suffering addict in their life, they cannot give up hope and be consumed darkness. Words of encouragement and hope like “I Love You”/ “Please Come Back To Me” can brighten up a very dark world. I don’t know why I’d even bring this up because chances are it will fall on your deaf ears...but honestly, I think you owe me as well as anyone else who comes across your negative demeanor when it comes to addicts/addictions. We are all people and life is hard. I hope I at least changed your mind somehow. If anyone in or outside of the Destiny Community needs help, advice, support or even just someone to listen then I’ll be there for you. DM me if you feel the need.

If only we could elect you for Bungie CEO and President lmao

Exactly. At no point did they say trials was never coming back. This guy is talking nonsense.
