"There are two kinds of pride, both good and bad. 'Good pride' represents our dignity and self-respect. 'Bad pride' is the deadly sin of superiority that reeks of conceit and arrogance." "When you are full of pride on the inside, it makes you stiff, stubborn, and creates strife with others." "Pride deafens us to the advice or warnings of those around us." These 3 quotes from John C. Maxwell sum up a great deal of my feelings towards Bungie, or at least Luke Smith. I've had my suspicions for a while now that Bungie was a bit too prideful, with their unwillingness to listen to their players or to undo a terrible decision, yet I still gave the benefit of a doubt. Then I found out today about the super sunsetting thing, looked into it, and noticed Luke's "Luke Fantasyland" comment. This is the definitive bell ringing the sign of a man with too much pride for me. He has taken the mantle of the Destiny franchise and is taking it in the direction that he wants without listening to the input of players. Far too many times now I've seen Bungie make a decision that was looked down upon by the majority of those they are supposed to serve, yet very seldom have I seen Bungie acknowledge their own mistakes; Even more seldom an attempt to fix said mistakes. There are countless quotes that could be cited about how excessive pride will lead to a downfall, but I feel that point has been reached. The only thing keeping the bubble alive is the raw, corrupting power of money. There may be a day their bubble collapses. There may be a day Luke learns the humility he seemingly needs. However, a quote by Albert Einstein makes me feel otherwise; "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe." People are stupid and gullible and Bungie knows how to capitalize on this. As long as they exercise the ability to intrigue and amaze, feeding into the stubborn ignorance of humans, they can potentially continue to thrive upon a throne of false promises. It's going to take an active, collective effort to be heard by Bungie. You, the player, are the boss and Bungie is the service provider. [i]They[/i] are the ones who are supposed to provide to [i]you[/i]. If you are dissatisfied with their service, you can vote for their dismissal with your wallet.
