I'm just gonna say what's on my mind, and probably many others

Where to even start with what seems like one of the worst mishandlings of a company over the past 2+years, but really started long ago. I guess the beginning...... The most important, crucial mistake, that Bungie ever made, and from what I see was the beginning of their downfall, is the slap to the customers face that had been with them since the beginning. BUNGIE!!!! YOU STOLE THE CONTENT THAT YOUR CUSTOMERS PAID FOR, AND NEVER RETURNED IT!!! Stole the Initial D2 game from us (No more Red War Campaign) Stole the next two released DLC's (Mars and Mercury) and all the missions, destinations that came with it. You STOLE EVERYTHING up to Forsaken DLC, and you cut that in half and left us the dreaming city, the end of that DLC. But once again,no more campaign missions. That doesn't even include all of the strikes & raids that left with it, all done in the name of the lie that it was part of the story, even though it was due to poor managing of funds in your company, and no investment on your infrastructure to be able to support the prior/present/and future DLC's. You have been feeding us recycled content from 2014-2016, mixed with some of the worst campaign missions over the years, and destinations that are honestly, not enjoyable, nor repeatable to the average user. You have provided us an abomination of a PVP setup, which went ignored for years, and is now vastly skipped over, due to things that have already been stated in other posts. I don't even attempt trials of Osiris or competitive anymore. You can verify that on the site. Just not worth the headache, much like your raids. (There's a reason why less than 15% of your customer base have ever completed one) Stop making it an annual event and competition for all , and just make it enjoyable, with modified rules on Day 1 or something) Its created a toxic environment for LFG, and for those that say "Its not that hard" That's great!! congrats!! You're part of 15% of all Destiny players. I am as well. But we've left so many behind, and this is one of many reasons Bungie sees its numbers drop drastically around this time. It's no longer fun, its a part time job with daily and weekly tasks now. It's no longer fun. It's just what's available, until another company puts out something similar, and we feel confident enough, to finally step away from the thousands of hours, and 100's of $$ we put into this game, and wanted to finish the fight. Bungie we didn't abandon you. You abandoned us. Moving on.. (I shouldn't even get started, or even know where to begin, on your poor excuse of a network, hiding behind all of its failures due to senior mgmt, and pulling a random insect/mammal/reptile name from the encyclopedia, to describe the specific layer issue, when 90% of the failures are on your side, and your servers, and their failure to maintain availability, and a solid connection to multiple customers, regardless of surges you may see) For the past 10 years, you always knew what to expect on DLC release and the stress it would bring, yet across all these DLC's year after year, you never improved, and your customers suffered for a minimum of 24-48 hrs after every release. GIVE US BACK WHAT YOU TOOK, THE STORY IS OVER!!. And instead of releasing 17% of your workforce, which none were responsible for your past failures, your CFO and CEO should've resigned, as the past year's results, were 100% due to their leadership, and mishandling of funds. I've never seen a companies executive leadership sell itself, then turn around and blow through the billions they acquired for the sale, in less than 2 years. Even more amazing how anyone at the top kept their job and didn't either resign or be terminated. I find it hard to believe 1 DLC expansion, and a game yet to be released, costs over 2 billion to complete. You should be ashamed of yourselves for claiming you "exhausted all other mitigation options" when you should've been one of the few at the top that walked the plank yourself, and at least have some honor and integrity, as you and the ones you have meetings with, caused all of this with your policies and handling of this franchise. Shame on you

    Paul Tassi's final word on his article about the layoffs fits perfectly with this: "Unconscionable". When people don't feel like they are being heard, you lose them as customers. Maybe for a short while, or maybe forever. Bungie blames their failures on not enough sales to cover up their screw ups. Bungie should be folded up completely into Sony, with zero of the leadership/executives going with. I wish I could follow Pete Parsons around ringing a bell saying "Shame" everywhere he goes in public.
