This is a very misguided statement, and in reality I really wish there was a way to just delete these kinds of comments. They really shouldn't exist. There's a fine line between having/giving an opinion and just lacking insight. First and foremost, you obviously didn't read my entire post or simply just didn't understand what was being said. Bungie didn't pay out of pocket for the development of Destiny, it was funded by a Publisher which in this case was Activision. They are the ones who manage the finances and they are the ones who made the investment. Were you simply not aware of their involvement? I highly suggest you read this for more details: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/143082212/0/0 Simply put, you are defending the wrong people here. THIS version of Destiny was NOT the original design back when Joseph Staten was still on the team. Corporate Directive and the insistent greed of Activision is the root cause of 90% of all the problems with the game and 100% responsible for all the shady business practices. Furthermore, GAMES are no different from any other product sold in the world. It is a give and take. There is likewise risk involved as with anything else. Just because a developer puts the time and sweat into making a game does not magically entitle them to be successful. People aren't going to just make them millionaires for having made something. How many Indie Games out there that are great hardly ever get the kind of recognition and return on their own investment when compared to others? Its because of the ever shifting market and changes in the audience. And with each new generation, their interests change based on development growing up and the kinds of mediums they are exposed to. Gamers from the 1980s have a vastly different perspective from younger Gamers in the 2000s. Example, my first console was an ATARI 7800 and I had games like Pacman, Space Invaders, Centipede, Tron, Pitfall and Battle Tanks. The graphics were shit compared to today's AAA titles, but you know what they DID have? GAMEPLAY. REPLAY VALUE. CHALLENGE. Games that encouraged the development of critical thinking skills. From there, we had the Nintendo Entertainment System which saw the greatest evolution in gaming TO DATE. -Megaman -Faxanadu -Legend of Zelda -Ultima -Final Fantasy -Mario Bros. -Contra -Castlevania -Battle Toads -Double Dragon You won't believe how many people I come across who don't recognize most of those titles,and its truly sad. I hate when people say "they are just video games, who cares?" because they are insulting the culture itself. Any self-respecting GAMER would never be so blase about it. What happened to rich, fulfilling games that would leave a mark on history? Stories and Characters expressed in ways that capture the imagination. Back when damn near every Gamer would dream about one day being able to create their own games. Angry Joe actually made an off hand comment about this once in one of his videos, but it accurately describes this culture and those that are apart of it. Gamers are "Emotional Creatures." It is by nature, not everyone can be a Gamer just like not everyone can be a Ballet Dancer or Football player. The personality, mental focus and personal abilities of any Gamer are different from others. I've seen people who wanted so badly to be Gamers, but just couldn't. No matter how hard they tried. They didn't have the mind for it, and that's perfectly fine because that just means they are suited for other callings. But- Err... Where was I going with this again? I think I had already made my point earlier in this and was trying to add onto it when I suddenly I ended up getting side tracked with another topic altogether. Anyways, yeah! That. Rawr.
