Luke Smith “Dont be jerks.”
Link to tweet- https://twitter.com/thislukesmith/status/958855424274448384?s=17
Dude thats some nice PR. First let me lead this game into the ground headfirst. Then see the fans backlash because I -blam!-ed up the game. Then put someone else in charge because I dont know how to make games. Then rinse and repeat for Destiny 3 (he refers to the “Destiny 2 Team” as a separate entity).
Luke what TF were you thinking. After the whole “throw money at the screen” fiasco youd think that you would be smarter but nope. Hey Luke, how about you dont be a jerk and run a beloved franchise into the ground before it even took off and moreso how about not lie and overhype your game before launch knowing it will [b][u]NEVER[/u][/b] live up.
Jerk.
Edit- To those defending Luke, yes the community can be jerks. The issue lies in the fact that Luke Smith is saying it. This is the “Throw money at the screen” guy and it pisses me off how arrogant he comes off. If he didnt screw the game up in the first place there wouldnt be an issue.
Edit #2- As far as I can tell nobody is “offended.” Most including myself are pissed that the head of the D2 team, arguably the one that ruined the game, is telling [u]US[/u] not to be mean to him. Again, if you dont want us to call you out on the constant bullshit then dont spew any bullshit!
Edit #3- 850 replies.. Not bad lol. Anyway, most of you understand why Luke is in the wrong here. Again, nobody’s feelings are hurt, were just pretty upset that Luke would call his fanbase a bunch of jerks lol. Wonder where that apology tweet from chris is...
Edit #4- ITS OVER 1000... replies... Didnt expect this thread to take off but “Luke Smith” and “Jerk” was in the title so I should have expected this. Im reading all the replies and im seeing about a 60/40 spread against/for Luke. I want it to be clear I dont know Luke, he could be a super nice guy. But man does he come off as a narcissistic, hypocritical, ass. Anyway guardians, we hear you, keep the feedback comin.

This guy is just unlikable lol yeesh. Putting aside all the current problems with the game, it's just plain bad customer service. Shut up and take the hate Luke, you and your team ruined an entire fanbase with this soulless, funless re-imagining of Destiny. Comparing him to Chris Barrett is like night and day. One is constantly trying to please the fans and retain a playerbase. The other takes a big fat dump on the fans again and again and again. Oh well, like Luke I've also moved onto MH World. A game with an actual endgame and grind, holy shit guys. RIP my guardians, I'll still check up on you in D1 because I still consider that a fun game.

Nice post man. Pretty much summed up what I was thinking. Good job.
-
yeah hes getting fired soon enough ! he can complain all he wants ! use that twitter buddy !
-
People wouldn't have to be "jerks" if they actually did things properly with their game instead of screwing it up constantly.
-
Does Asshat Flintstone actually like pissing off the fanbase? He’s so good at it.

You first. /thread

Edited by Not_The_God_Roll: 2/2/2018 11:44:59 PMI have said before the CEO of bungie should step in. You would not here these types of statements to customers from Apple after a failed iPhone launch. Sure people are upset but take the high ground as a game lead. Not eat your Doritos while playing monster hunter.should be an example to the people on your team devolving or improving things.

Ironic a big jerk (in my humble opinion) asks folks not to be jerks.

8 RepliesBahaha, people getting their feelings hurt because he implied this toxic community are jerks. I think he sugar coated it, to be honest.
-
And check this, he not only directed Destiny 2 into the ground, he's the franchise director according to the 1st page of the comic. Christopher Barrett is fixing D2, while Luke is making decisions for D3. The franchise is dead.
-
35 RepliesI agree with Luke’s statement, no matter how you feel, calling for someone to be killed, fired, etc is just uncalled for. When did being rude or mean help a situation, never. Act like civil adults.
-
5 RepliesHonestly, I’m happy he’s a real human being that has the guts to speak candidly. -blam- the corporate model of “the customer is always right.” It’s a disgusting standard that perpetuates attitudes like the one presented here. With all the smack talked on the forums, you’re the ones offended when someone says “hey, could you chill with the death threats and name calling?” Exercise a little empathy. Anyone who’s ever worked in customer service should be able to relate to wanting to tell a customer not to be a jerk, at the VERY least.

Maybe people in control at Bungie shouldn't take radical risks with alienating changes. Then Bungie wouldn't have [b][i][u]earned[/u][/i][/b] criticism.
-
In context that was fine. If I worked 50 plus hour weeks, went to events, and huge work grinds on launch days I would tell y'all to chill your shirt too. Everyone thinks things are so simple until they do it themselves. Everyone who has ever worked full time knows that. There is a reason things aren't perfect and it's not because they aren't trying.

3 RepliesDid he actually say “throw money at the screen”?

2 RepliesEdited by Madman Asunder: 2/3/2018 12:09:32 AMIf I was a dev that put 3 years of my life into a product and people behaved like this community constantly I'd throw in point #3 too. First everyone gets mad at Bungie for behaving too much like a business and not giving a shit... now we are mad that one of them is human and gives a shit. You can hate a game and either (a) leave critical feedback or (b) do something else with your life. Hate smashing the devs doesn't do anyone any good. that is who his tweet is directed at. get over yourself.
-
Yup, fvck that guy. If I see his name on any Destiny game I'm not buying it.
-
2 RepliesSaw the tweet. Seems like people are overreacting, pretty sure the comment is an equivalent to ‘play nice’. Just not a great choice of words. Disclaimer: Not a fan of Luke Smith at all.
-
Who cares: plenty of "A" holes on forums - dude was just asking for people to be chill - apparently "we" can talk $hit but some can't take "it" - weak
-
Of all the good employees Bungie has lost, and this clown is still there, and still leads game designs Maybe he is just Activi$ions cronie,and that's how he keeps his job
-
Luke Smith is a complete prick, I have no respect or like for this man at all. How is he still in a job? Seriously, he has ruined this game. Now he's decided to pop his head out of the hole he is in to tell us not to be jerks..... Where have you been, explain why you did what you did, apologize....try be a MAN! Horrible man. Ps- doesn't matter how much money I throw at my screen this game cannot be saved now.
-
4 RepliesMy reply on Twitter. I will stop being a jerk the day you leave Bungie. Win/win scenario. You get what you want and I get want I want.
