  • That's called pandering to the audience. They hear people are riled up and so they write a story about the big mean man and know that all the people that are riled up will click on it because it agrees with them.

  • You do understand how journalism works right? That people feed off a story. They are using the momentum of the Luke Smith Lynch Mob to create articles. Sensationalizing and fueling the fire that was started by sheer stupidity and over what was originally likely a minor misinterpretation over what Luke said in an interview, where the reporter was being a dick, and he probably just lost his cool. First off, its stupid to be pissed about something this dumb to begin with. Second, the part I'm referring to anyway is the extremists (Thus my lynch mob comment) screaming for him to 'publicly apologize' or worse yet, 'lose his job' over something this absurd. It astounds me that people can hate over something this insignificant. It only shows their lack of intelligence and integrity.

  • What interview were you reading? He asked very professional questions while this moron Luke Smith talked about how we are idiots throwing money at our screen... its insulting and if you cant see that, then you were or are the type of guy that gets pushed around and doesnt stand up for himself.

  • Actually you sound like that kind of person yourself with those issues, and are carrying a chip on your shoulder because of it, as clearly it colors your perspective on everything you read. I really shouldn't even waste my time replying to someone that clearly just re-paints everything they ingest to mean whatever they want it to, to justify their own self-righteous attitude. Freaking out about something this stupid, to start with, is just plain stupid and childish. Luke's comments were taken completely out of context, and this issue with it has been blown so badly out of proportion that it is astounding. Even the journalist Tom Phillips tweeted able how absurd it was. A direct quote of his tweet: [quote]Bungie deserves tough questions on #Destiny pricing but it's getting pitchforky out there... Luke Smith interview was actually good-natured.[/quote] He stands by his interview (which is fine, and his right to do so, even though I believe he was being unnecessarily aggressive), but even he sees this stupid online lynch mob for what it is.

  • Whatever helps you sleep at night cupcake. I encourage you to start standing up for yourself and try to become aware of how the world works with marketing things like video games and the evolution of it all. Stand up for your wallet in principal or else youre just blind sheep bleating... i pity you friend, at least you tried right?

  • its about the principal of simply being able to make such a simple thing like dancing in a video game available without having to pay an arm and a leg for what we already own. grow up and stop enabling bad business.
