[quote]A record breaking half billion dollar budget.[/quote] Which they made back on the first day. [quote]Over 500 employees to employ and keep employed while making financial gains and new content.[/quote] Source? Plus, I'm sure there are gaming companies (there are plenty of companies bigger than Destiny) with far more employees than this which don't release micro-transactions as well as hundreds of (USD) priced content. [quote]The predecessor HALO... the fps game that arguably gave fps games a competitive spot on the map. Meaning Destinys expectations are far above any other FPS on the market right now because this is the company that was capable of creating Halo. Knowing that, we think that the fundamentals of the game need to be a certain way and AI needs to act a certain way or we need to make headshots in a game a certain way or shoot a shotgun and get a kill a certain way.[/quote] A load of crap which doesn't back up anything you said. Expectations are not an excuse to being greedy what so ever. "I think you're missing the point. OP is attempting to give you a wake-up call about the practices Bungie employs to exploit its customers, and more broadly, the state of the gaming industry as a whole. It's not about whether he personally buys these games or not - he's frustrated watching the way these companies have taken gaming and made financially milking the player the priority over making the game as good/fun/satisfying as it could have really been. If we keep accepting this as the norm and paying premiums for these paper-thin portions, these companies are going to keep pushing the limit of how far they can exploit us. You do understand that, right? Right?"

Ya, they were able to pay off that budget in the first day, but that doesnt mean it was done easily considering hundreds of thousands of people returned Destiny after seeing what the game was like. They stated publicly in 2014 that the company has over 500 employees working for them and if you noticed, they are ramping up the amount of people they are hiring because guess what?! they care about making a good game happen despite the public opinion of failure of this game. There is a reason destiny got 6/10, 7/10 reviews, just like there is a reason this game has changed so much from the one delivered to us in late 2014. How companies capitalize and monopolize is something you should decide if youre going to support or not, if you are at war with yourself over the morality of it. Find another hobby.

Just in case yall didn't know, Activision is in charge of the marketing not bungie.

duh. they are the publisher. if a company publishes an authors book. the author isnt the one who goes out of his way to promote the book by T.V., internet, social media. He may try to help it because its a relationship that two entities want to see thrive but the creationist isnt the one in absolute charge. Really not the point.

You gave enough of a "Fuk" to post a paragraph.

Obviously from the number of people replying in agreement and bumping is enough for me to care enough to spread awareness. So ya, youre right, but i could certainly give a fuk less if that makes you feel better.

You said no one gives one. Now you do, and now others do, you can't even stand by your own feelings because you had what like 3 likes? Better raise your roof your head may not fit in the house after the rush of Internet fame you have now.

Awareness is everything. But whatever helps you sleep at night cupcake. I digressed a long time ago. That's just what happens when you truly don't care overall. My point was made and fame or whatever you call it is just another something I don't give a fuk about kiddo

You wouldn't have a point if you didn't care. Drops mic, cupcake.

Lol I already admitted to caring and now I don't. Also when you drop a mic it's because you're done talking. Way to go full retard Helen Keller.

Helen Keller wasn't retarded. She was deaf and dumb. Not the same thing. Use that internet to learn if need be.

[u]Way to go[/u] means to ascend or progress, transition, ect, and i was in fact telling you, you are deaf and dumb but youre slow so maybe try this on for size. Watching you respond to me is like Helen Keller trying to get around furniture. A little metaphorical pun for ya. I use the internet to do a lot of things. Youre just too easy to pick on. You "dropped the mic" a while back.. Too bad you were in a room by yourself though right? Guess that means i get two responses back to back from you lol. Talk about caring. Thanks! bye! love you!

Good story. The mic drop meant I said everything I needed to about the first subject and there was nothing you could say that would prove otherwise that you did in fact care. I'm easy huh? You are aware that I have picked you clean on every account? That's right you're that special type that always thinks they "won the Internet" cept lolz

Actually two fingerprints can be alike, such as in the Brandon Mayfields case
