Bungie is neither lazy nor incompetent. Bungie is a business.
That's just capitalism babby.
Like EA with their suprise mechanics.

"Making content in general is hard." -Bungie. They're both. Not to an extreme like most EA games or Modern Naughty Dog games, but to say they've been at peak throughout the span of D2's lifespan would be disingenuous. Are they getting better? Hopefully. I'm certainly tired of this lackluster content I need some quality.

Bungie is pretty much as they were when they were under Activision. They merely have the freedom to move around their resources freely. The model they had is still currently in motion because it worked, and you dont abandon an already established groundwork.

I guess thats where we will disagree cause under Activision we got most of the better D2 changes. Ever since we've gotten nothing but lackluster unappealing content, terrible story telling, and the copy paste method thrown to the extreme. Let's hope they can show they're a worthwhile studio on their own come beyond light.

Capitalism is good when kept in check, the problem is that over the last 20+ years they government has convinced you check/regulations are bad and removed them. Juat an example, the Glass - Steagall act was repealed, which was a huge reason for our financial collapse in 07-08.

Capitalism is first a mode of production before it is an “ideology.” Communism, is also, a mode of production. The difference between the two is who controls labor power. “Commies” don’t do things for free either— and it is rather the upper echelons of capitalists who enjoy receiving most things for free because of how they exploit labor itself as a form of commodity. If Ayn Rand’s famous “Galt’s Gulch” were ever actualized, all of this would be immediately visible— because labor would just takeover the machinery, and all of the capitalists would be exposed for how useless they actually are. Ideology sustains the illusion that this is not how things actually are. I don’t care if you are a capitalist or a communist here— but don’t let it prevent you from seeing things as they are.

Go back to the 50s and 60s and look at minium wage in comparison with rent and the cost of schooling, then look at the same for today. If that doesn't tell you everything then let me know and I'll happily explain.

Lmao you're refusing to click on the link I provided that'll teach you exactly what capitalism is, but [b][i][u]I'M[/u][/i][/b] the one filibustering? This is why I love the Bungie forums. Capitalism is an economic system in which trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit. Idk what my typing it out does for you that reading the definition on Google can't, but there you go.
