Deej stated that the TWAB will be back on January 11. I do not think Bungie can afford to be silent till then, saying simply "we are listening" and "we hear you" is creating apathetic community members. At some point they stop protesting and realize the game will never be what was promised and leave. They won't buy future Bungie games they will forever be gone. Bungie has a deal with Activision for one more game and the short term gain of Eververse will be a much larger long term loss for future profits. Bungie needs to either Fix the End Game, Fix PVP, Remove Eververse, Etc, Etc, Etc... They cannot afford to just "listen" they need to show they are going to do something. I realize that doing takes a while and costs money and do not expect overnight changes, but also realizing the community has been mad since October and only boiled over to outright rage after the dawning. Bungie cannot afford to not at least give a timeline of when they are going to do. But maybe they just don't care and truly went all in on a cash grab for D2 and hopes the community has a short term memory and can be swindled again in D3? Who knows, and pretty soon, who cares?
Edit: Clearly a bunch of you do not understand that I am talking about opportunity cost!
My question is this: can the short term gains mad from units sold and pre orders in conjunction with mtx be worth the possible long term losses to a future Destiny or Bungie title by alienating more members of the community and seemingly not caring to fix any problems?
Will they significantly hurt future titles the way Bungie keeps metaphorically stepping in it over and over again and not properly addressing it with what seems like no end in sight?

14 RepliesThey need till January 11th because they are coming back to work from the holidays. Pardon the -blam!- out of the people working at Bungie for wanting to spend time with their families huh? It can wait one more week. Calm the hell down people.
