Should Destiny add splitscreen Post Launch?
Bungie just released that there will be no splitscreen in Destiny. However, they also said that if the community came together on a subject then they WILL listen. We need to band together, and show that we CARE about whether or not there is splitscreen.
I want to play with my friends and family. I don't want to spend $400+ just to please these major companies. Ever since Halo, I've loved split-screen. I couldn't STOP. 4-Player FPS was my DREAM, and now Bungie, my HERO, makes the one of the most beautiful games I've ever seen single player, I couldn't stand aside.
This is for the gamers who love splitscreen.
This is for the people who want to make their OWN choices, not the ones who'd rather have greedy gaming companies chose FOR them.
This is for the family.
This is for the friends.
This is for split-screen.
Please comment below why you do or don't want split-screen.
Also share this link all over the web. Twitter. Facebook. Bungie. With your help we can bring split-screen back to Destiny.
(EDIT #2) The change.org petition was made by someone else.

(EDIT) Also everyone. Be nice and respectful of others. Keep it clean out there, I don't want this to be reduced to a shouting match. Keep the peace.
I hope you're listening Deej.
(EDIT)
Guys, lets think for a moment.
People talk about consoles not being able to handle splitscreen and single player experiences being ruined because adding splitscreen would reduce single player graphics.
If this was [b]true[/b], wouldn't Bungie have just [b]said[/b] that in their explanation of why splitscreen wasn't in Destiny?
Think about it.
If consoles didn't have the power, wouldn't Bungie have just [b]said [/b]that for their reason why Destiny didn't have splitscreen?
If single player graphics were decreased, wouldn't Bungie have just [b]said [/b]that for their reason why Destiny didn't have splitscreen?
But Bungie [b]DIDN'T[/b].
Their silence speaks for itself.
None of the above is [b]TRUE[/b], because if it [b]WAS [/b]Bungie would have just [b]SAID SO[/b] as their excuse for no splitscreen!
[b]Think [/b]about it! If it was [b]TRUE [/b]they would have just used it as their excuse!
However they [b]DIDN'T[/b].
Which means only one thing:
[b]IT ISN'T TRUE.[/b]
They [b]never [/b]mentioned it! They said nothing about console power or single player graphics!
So the REASON WHY it wasn't mentioned is because it [b]SIMPLY ISN'T TRUE![/b]
Consoles [b]CAN [/b]handle it!
Singe player graphics [b]AREN'T [/b]affected!
And Bungie doesn't [b]want [/b]us to know!
They only technicalities they went into were "rendering" and "tethering", however, they also [b]never [/b]said that splitscreen [b]WASN'T [/b]possible!
They speak of rendering and tethering, but never said that it [b]WASN'T [/b]possible!
Cmon people! Look at it! Splitscreen [b]IS [/b]possible, and we [b]need [/b]to speak up!
Btw MMO's can have splitscreen.

I'm going to attempt to make a few points that will hopefully discourage people from saying "OMG I WANT DAT SPLIT SCREEEN D: " [b]1,[/b] This game requires a connection to your GT/PSN ID, and then through that, accesses your own personal account on the Destiny server. You'd essentially have to be multiclienting Destiny in order to do this, and that would probably cause your console to promptly burst into flames. Some may think "WELL WHAT IF I USE CHARACTERS ON DAH SAME ACCOUNT!?" Sure, maybe that COULD work... but... [b]2.[/b] Destiny is split into multiple different lobbies/bubbles, these bubbles are all throughout the regions that are seamlessly tied together, if split screening was a thing, this could NOT BE POSSIBLE. It would not be able to work the same as if you were just in a fireteam with someone, your console is connected to whatever bubble you are in, I'm almost positive it would be impossible for it to connect to multiple at the same time. Simple as that. Which would completely ruin what Bungie has built for us so far. [b]3.[/b] The loot you receive is your own personal loot, if Destiny had split screening, it'd either end up overworking itself by giving two different streams of loot to the same console, or, you'd end up with shared loot, and get useless junk for other classes, effectively destroying, yet again, what Bungie has built for us. Those are the three most prevalent reasons I can think of, and I am damn sure there's plenty more. [b]Stahp[/b]
