R.I.P democracy as per Bungievision
Do you think it's right that Bungie fans that may have bought all or many of the games below have been extradited to private groups for not buying or playing [b]one[/b] game?
Just consider if you had bought all or many of these games, would you be happy if you were not allowed to post on bungie.net in sub-forums non-specific to Bungie's current game? How is that right?
Just imagine if you bought all or many of the games below, how you would feel if you were suddenly asked to leave?
In my opinion it's a travesty that these fans that possibly didn't have the money are no longer allowed a voice in sub-forums like #Gaming and #Offtopic that have [b]nothing[/b] to do with their current game.
[spoiler]As this is about both gaming and the communities in #Gaming & #Offtopic it belongs here. [/spoiler]
Gnop!

Has Activision's stranglehold on Bungie grown too tight? Now the older community have to suffer as Bungie has no backbone?

Edited by DjNormal: 10/9/2015 10:08:46 PMWe didn't have forums before Myth, we had an AOL group page thing, which wasn't very interactive. When the Myth forums were up, people would always tell me to GTFO the Myth forums if I brought up any older Bungie games. No one ever talked about Oni (probably because it was Bungie West/2K). When Halo came to, they migrated everything to Microsoft (where it still exists I assume). That was a whole new community with a whole new game and when I poked my head in there, it was promptly bitten off as no one wants to hear about anything before Halo. Now you've got Destiny forums I guess and people are following that age old tradition of pretending like the previous games didn't exist. While I think it's uncalled for that they require [i]everyone[/i] to have a linked destiny character, especially outside of the Destiny specific sub forums. I do kind of understand their desire to have people be more accountable for their previously anonymous shit-posting. [b][i]I'm NOT directing that at you Bane.[/i][/b] Anyway, regardless of who's [i]fault[/i] it is, it's a poor choice for gaming/offtopic, to that we agree.
