Should Bungie make Luke Smith publicly apologize?

Yes- his was smug and money hungry

No- it's a business, we are consumers.

After reading the entire euro gamer interview and the recent Forbes magazine piece release today- hard to see bungie not addressing this soon. Apparently DeeJ has said there will be something better in store for current gamers, but they don't know what yet. They are scrambling to do damage control after this guy made them looks like corporate assholes. Leave your opinion and comments below! READ--- An apology is not about Luke Smith, it's about bungie admitting fault. By him apologizing it means Bungie OK the apology and is apologizing trough him to a degree, while them apologizing directly would be ideal, that's not going to happen. UPDATE ON DLC!!!!!---- Bungie has partnered with Red Bull and now an "Epic Quest" which originally os part of TTK is only accessible if you purchase a special can of Red Bull and get the access code. Otherwise you have to wait until mid-December to play it if you don't buy Red Bull. [url=http://kotaku.com/new-destiny-quest-is-exclusive-to-red-bull-1713588960]Bungie requires Red Bull purchase for new DLC Quest[/url] Bungie doesn't care about the consumers, only their money. You now have to purchase 3rd party products in order to play something you will have purchased outright. Where does it end? Edit- sorry for the grammatical error, should say HE. Edit-- Why do all you fools keep saying "your sad to get so upset over a few emotes..." It has absolutely nothing to do with the emotes. It has to do with the principle of respecting your consumers/clientele and not be arrogant enough to blatantly speak about such people as if they are idiots and will buy whatever shit your pushing. This is 2015 there is no more "it's just a videogame company" or "he's just a designer" Wrong. He is a part of a major corporate conglomerate and as such anything he says or does in the public eye (and sometimes private) it's open for judgement and criticism. That's just life today. He gets no pass for being insensitive to his buyers. Neither does bungie. It isn't about emotes it's about expectations of a company to its consumers. I guess the difference in opinions depends if your an adult with a career who understands business or if your a teen or college student. I would be pressed to say most career working adults with families would lean towards the understanding of how there was a fault committed from a business ethics standpoint. UPDATE**** Luke Smith apologizes and TTK prices are changed....

  • Who cares? Any apology from any company is essentially based on what the best business move is and not on actual sincerity. It’s lame that people actually believe that after receiving an apology from some company PR rep, customer service rep or politician that they demanded that they ‘made the difference’ and the company ‘learned its lesson.’ Reality is that companies will tell you whatever you need to hear to spend more cash – it’s the smart thing for them to do.
