Edit: almost 1000 replies, thank you everyone for being vocal on this matter. Even if you think it's easy and you are a screamer, your replies keep bumping. It's something that needs to be discussed for sure!
Seriously, reading all the replies to the weekly update and to Deej's comment just pissed me off. 99.9% of this community has no idea how to code and design a video game, so why does everyone insist it is so damn easy to just add some vault space or add matchmaking? I can guarantee if it was is Bungie would have done it. Why the hell would they not do it? To be jerks? No.
So unless you have a college degree in video game design or have spoken to someone who does ... Shut.. The.. Hell... Up.
Before anyone doubts my opinions, a close family friend (pseudo uncle of mine) is a designer for Ubisoft and worked on all of the Assassin's Creed games. He has given me and my brother insight into how hard the coding guys have it.
Edit: wake up to over 600 replies.. Well done guys. And yes, AC games suck now, I know that, he knows that. He is a landscape and city designer... So he makes all the breathtaking landscapes and badass city layouts.. Pretty sure no one can argue that those suck. He has stated how disappointed he is in where the games have gone. He also likes having a job.
Edit: HEY EVERYONE! How would you like it if they rushed the vault expansion, released it, then found out once maxed the vault somehow deletes the entire vault? Would you be happy? No. Let them get all the testing and stuff done.

8 RepliesThis is seriously just the worst argument I may have seen on the forums. Mostly because I feel you are an intelligent person seeing as how your writing was neat and clean and didn't go on some needless tangent. Yet you seem to be looking at this from a slight biased point of view. I do not know how to code anymore than the most basic website so I do not have extensive knowledge on the subject matter. But that is completely irrelevant. I am a paying consumer and as such I no more allow the excuse "but coding is really difficult" than I would in any other profession. At the end of the day, it is their job. Would you use the same excuse to any other professional? A few hypotheticals to illustrate my point: 1. You have an accountant who does your taxes. He files your taxes incorrectly and now you either owe more or are not going to receive the tax return you are entitled. Or even worse, they were filed so incorrectly that you are now being investigated for tax fraud. Do you give your accountant a pass and say "well tax laws are complicated and he had a lot of clients so it was really hard for him"? I would think surely not. 2. You have a package that must be delivered by a certain date and send it via FedEx with more than enough time to be delivered by that date. Do you let that slide because "they ship so many packages each day that it must be hard to keep track of each one"? Surely not. 3. You pay for a cell phone and service and randomly your phone will not make calls for a week because their cell tower nearest you is out. Do you not complain about it because of the difficulty of fixing the cell tower and how hard it must be to accurate send signals all over the world via satellite? Once again, surely not. In any of those situations you do not give a professional a free pass because their job is difficult. And it does not take inside knowledge of the intricacies of the work for you to demand someone you are paying to get the job done. Anyways. Rant over.
