Free to play plus micro transactions is a way of future gaming bro. People then defend seasonal content by saying it's only 10 bucks blah blah blah... Destiny is catering to whoever hands over cash and it's becoming more obvious with every season where the revenue is coming from, the only place they are investing in, eververse first and then seasonal content second.

I'm surprised that you haven't had this comment locked by the Volunteer Admins. Not saying that they should as I can't stand Luke Smith, oh wait, I'll probably get my comment blocked!.

No change will be made if y'all are still playing. C'mon now!!

But don't forget the EverVerse store. It's got loads of rewards. You can buy a 10 dollar emote! I cant believe Bungie made Halo. This is NOT that Bungie.

Here it is folks... THIS explains A LOT!!! OMFG!!! This explains SOOOOOOO much... Jason Jones, the Luke Smith of Bungie. So NOW, you know why JJ crapped on Joe Staten's work... He was a Scrubby Lord too. "After the release of Halo 2, Jones took a sabbatical from Bungie, not knowing whether he wanted to continue making games.[19] As Jones returned, his involvement with Halo began to diminish,[19] as Jones tended to 'dislike' sequels.[20] He desired to build a new intellectual property.[21] Jones worked closely with colleague Jaimie Griesemer who was working on his own internal project named "Dragon's Tavern" which Griesemer described to be a "third person fantasy game"[21] In the end however, Jones had the most power at Bungie, despite not being the President he was the majority share-holder and his vision of the studio was his alone to decide.[21] In the end, Jason got his way with the studio's next project and worked with Griesemer to combine his ideas of "Dragon's Tavern" with what would be Destiny.[21]" "The writing team led by Joseph Staten had created a "Super-Cut" which was essentially a summary of the game's story-line. The super-cut was poorly received by Jones [b]and the rest of the studio[/b].([i]I don't believe this for a second[/i]) [21] Shortly after, Jones decided to scrap the writing team's work and effectively re-write the story very late into production with Marty O'Donnell, believing it was not feasible and almost impossible to complete.[21] Knowing the game was in peril with his proposed reboot of the story, Jones formed a group called the "Iron Bar" composed of art director Christopher Barrett, designer [b]Luke Smith[/b] (The Scrappy Lord) and writer Eric Raab, an experienced book editor.[21] [b]Jones and the rest of Bungie carried on to release Destiny on September 9, 2014, to lukewarm reception.[/b]" LUKE Warm, too perfect... lol. Dear Lord, how many nitwits did bungie have working for them??? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Jones_(programmer) Jason Jones problem was, he was like George Lucas, he created this great idea and later had NO idea what it was that made it great... No idea at all.

Luke did good work on VOG and Taken King, but since then he’s been all talk and the game has only been sustainably good when he’s not in charge alone. He wants to make the game for Datto and not the core player base. The game is in the worst place it’s been since CoO and we know from his comments it’s just gonna be more changes no one asked for next season while things people have given feedback on for months and months aren’t touched

Agreed it's time for someone else to take the reigns..... but as long as people are spending $20 for cosmetics he's running a successful business model, which is all the board of directors cares about. He's to blame, but so is the eververse community

He's a clown.He is bitter,twisted and ruthless.Wouldnt spit on the fat -blam!- if he was on fire.-blam!- this game.

Because hipster neck beards are "cool" i guess

I get the feeling that he is the ultimate “Yes” man. Anything his bosses ask him to do he does without question. He looks like the type too. Only reason I think he is still lead director.

The only way i, a nearly 6000 hour veteran of destiny games, will even consider coming back is if Luke Smith is replaced by someone (anyone) who understands game development a WHOLE lot better than Smith. Games are supposed to be, first and foremost, FUN. And streamers make their money by showing off their “skills” which means they [i]want[/i] the game to frustrate its players so they can step in to look “good” and get views.
