The relationship between Bungie and players is NOT a friendship, or a congenial acquaintance, or a partnership, or even a shared passion or hobby. It's not even a business relationship. No. What it is - and ALL it is - is a buyer-seller relationship. That's it. That type of relationship is not feelings-centric. It's product-centric. All that matters, to both sides, is the product. The shared agreement being that the seller provides a product in exchange for money and the buyer provides the money in exchange for the product. The problem here is that the buyers have kept up their end of agreement - providing (ridiculous amounts of) money, but the seller didn't keep up their end - they have not provided the promised product. They provided A product, yes, but not THE product that they have spent countless hours and tweets and blogs, and ads, and resources promoting and promising. And they have been failing to provide THE product since day one of D1. Bungie has consistently and repeatedly acted in bad faith - they have never provided what they promised buyers, all the while continuing to promise to do so, but instead spent their creative talents formulating new and manipulative ways to receive even MORE money from buyers while still failing to provide what they promised in the first place. It's this repeated and arrogantly blatant violation of the buyer-seller relationship for the last four years that has finally resulted in the responses from buyers that you are naively criticizing. No one is attacking any Bungie employee's personal life choices or ethics, but their work related ones. And that is wholly and entirely appropriate in the current circumstances. Hundreds of thousands of people have finally lost hope. They've been led on then spit on too many times. Is it crazy that this is all over a video game? Maybe. But to my mind, it speaks volumes about passion. Destiny - the original game and story and concept - inspired enough interest and excitement and passion that it resulted in this current state of affairs [i]after four years[/i] of Bungie absolutely butchering and cannibalizing the game as well as treating it's player base like they were worth nothing more than the next dollar they could squeeze out of them. And that is just the most pathetic and telling bit of capitalistic shortsightedness that I believe I've ever seen. If they had treated the the game and player base with respect and [i]cultivated[/i] both, they could have made [i]massively[/i] more money over a much longer timeline. Instead, they cut open the goose trying to get all of the golden eggs at once. Welcome to your dead goose, Bungie. What a stupid -blam!-ing waste. Edit: This was originally my reply to a fanboy post, but I decided to make it a post of its own - I haven't posted here for several months as I'm one of the many who finally gave up on Bungie and Destiny after all of these years. Guess I'm still mad-sad about how it all went down. Also, "buyers" and "players" are obviously interchangeable terms here. Just staying consistent so fanboys don't get confused.
