I'm no lawyer, but I can say this. It's really easy to sue anyone for anything. I'm sure we can all agree on that.
Why should we stop writing then? Well, development for Destiny 2 was announced almost a week ago. That means all of these great suggestions that should have already been in the game will be going towards destiny 2, not 1. If they actually did implement any real suggestions that changed game content then they may be susceptible to a lawsuit by the person suggesting it. Commenting on a gun wouldn't do it, but other things like game modes, a user interface, and things like that may be construed as intellectual property for development. While most people wouldn't sue, a few would. Even if you lose and they win they still have to pay lawyers a lot of money. It's easier for them to ignore the ideas we submit for destiny 1.
Now we come full circle to destiny 2. The suggestions you make for destiny 1 will probably be implemented in destiny 2. Since the suggestion you made was for a prequel and not the game that actually had it, then you have no legal standing ground.
Like I said, I'm no lawyer and I may very well be wrong. You may even say to yourself, "Who cares? If it's cool then I want it. I won't sue anybody. " For every 10000 that are like that, there is at least 1 that's thinking, "It's time for me to get a lawyer and get paid." What I am saying is don't expect anything we say to really be done. We already bought this game, they have our money, and there is no refund. However, they will take your FREE advice on how to make a game that is worth playing while needing less writers to think up stuff for it.
We the community have already written Destiny 2 based on our suggestions and comments from the first one. Now all they have to do is draw it out, render and texture, narrate, copy, paste, print, distribute.
Why do you think it only took 2 months for them to announce a sequel to a game that had just launched and a lot of people don't like?
Feel free to agree, disagree, gimme a bump for funsies, or add your two cents. Trolls will be quartered in public.
[spoiler]This notion came to me in an epiphany. I was about to post several great ideas to improve the game. Then I thought to myself, "Man, if I was one of the guys working on this game then these ideas would get me a promotion. I should get paid for submitting awesome ideas, kind of like the people that do work for Bungie/Activision. I could post them anyway and not get paid. I could sue. No money for a lawyer though. FML. I'm sure they appreciate all the great advice they get for free. (LIGHTNING STRUCK MY BRAIN). They are going to take all of the great ideas from players and put it in the sequel and not have to pay anything! What a great scam! Free tips and advice from the gaming community? They will be capitalizing on our genius. FOR FREE! F that. I'm putting the word out. *Writes a long post[/spoiler]

4 通の返信If your assumption were true, game companies would have been sued into oblivion long before now. If your assertion that all it took was for them to place the idea into a different game, then DLC, complete with its own subtitle and storyline, would be enough to cover that loophole. It only took them 2 months to announce a sequel to the game, because, although people have flooded the forums with complaints, they made a record amount of money with this games release. Like the game or not, there's enough of a positive here to justify a sequel, and more than enough money to cover its production. All they have to do is change the things that the majority of the public want changed, and expand on the things they liked to begin with, and the hype train will start rolling again. Give them your ideas. or don't, that's up to you, but unless you're planning to get hired at a game company, or you have access to the large amount of money necessary to start your own, this is probably your best shot at seeing those ideas come to life.

3 通の返信Check the terms of service for the forums. Bungie own everything posted. Also you can't have intellectual property rights over an idea. Only the exact expression of that idea through copyright (i.e. the specific text), or the physical product of an idea, through a patent, or a specific look and feel through design rights. So basically other than being completely incorrect in every way, except that some of these suggestions will find there way into the Destiny IP as Bungie have already acknowledged, great post, bru.
