Here's the conclusion that we can come to: Bungie is a company made up of people who need money. They need money because they have lives and families and needs. They want nice stuff just like you do. They get their money from their jobs at Bungie. Bungie gets money from making games. They need the money for all that you see up there and paying Activision, another company of people. People are also not perfect. They make mistakes. Moral of the story: Bungie is not out to get you. There are thousands of people to pay and feed, and expenses to pay and bills to pay. They don't drive Lamborghini's, and there isn't a conspiracy revolving around Gjallarhorn. Their sole purpose is not to make you sad, and poor. They make mistakes, and try their best to fix them.

And this is not to say that Destiny is perfect, it's not. This post is [b]directed at those who only think that all Bungie cares about is making our lives worse by draining [/b] our bank accounts.
