Passive aggressive inappropriate tone from Deej and other Bungie employees

Ive been noticing an increase in the amount of disrespect from bungie employees on community forums. Just look at todays weekly update and the extremely snarky and sarcastic comments from Deej such as "omg he only has 1600 weapon parts left we need to do something" and "we hold the right to do anything with the game economy we want." Does anyone else think snarky comments like this are very unprofessional? Like Bungie you act like your some sort of hero for fixing a problem that YOU created. Here is a comment from another post that explains my thoughts perfectly, all credit goes to user Wahrnye "Just another joke of a weekly update that makes it easier to not look back on this game going forward. Announcing the weapon parts change - Fine, but that's a fix to a problem THEY created. And when addressing the fact that THEY created this problem, DeeJ wraps it up in unnecessary snark about being curators of THEIR living world. Hubris to the highest degree; it's almost as if they're saying how dare we question their choices? Let me say this next part slowly so the apologists can understand: [i][u]Etheric Light and Wormspore uses should have been in the game since September's launch, not something coming soon by December.[/u][/i] They knew Etheric Light was a thing that many people had plenty of and they also introduced Wormspore (apparently) without any regard for what to do with it outside a few weapon upgrades. IIt's going to take them almost 3 months to finally make these things meaningful? These are all issues they created by poor planning or bad oversight, not something they should be praised for fixing AFTER the fact. The rest of the entire update was about the same tired PVP bullshit as almost every other weekly update. No news on new content, no commenting on the terrible loot system - especially in regards to raid drops (I love doing the raid and getting a fourth duplicate item at 302 light... ) - or the fact that Nightfalls, Strikes, and Court of Oryx ceases being rewarding once you reach 300 light or more. I've seen this playbook before. Between this and Activision spouting off their easily manipulated "registered user" numbers (aka 'investor math'), they've pretty much already decided they're going to pander to the base players who believe Bungie can never, ever, do any wrong. Nothing will change going forward. Bungie and Activision are living in their own echo chamber - as evidenced by the fact that they spend more time conversing with the "community" on Bungie-friendly outlets like Reddit and Twitter..." EDIT: A lot of you seem to think im just looking for something to be offended by cuz im a "no balls toxic loser" Its more im just fed up with the bullshit direction this game is taking like timegating exotics that i already payed for to extend gameplay time and patching things like weapon parts for no -blam!-ing reason Perhaps the most irritating thing is the bungie fanboys and dickriders who will stop at nothing to defend everything the devs do to this game and every word that comes out of that douchebag known as Deej's mouth. Go ahead meet me with ninja justice for stating the obvious about your shit company and bottomfeeder fanboys EDIT2 It seems the common defense for Deejs tone is "oh bungie has to go through so much shit and complaining on the forums, people are meanies" You people cant seriously believe its ok for a company to retaliate in this fashion. Oh no a game developer has to see negative feedback about the game they made wahh wahh prayers for bungie" All of you are saying "can the entitled/offended generation go away", if you ask me the people defending bungie with this mindset are the "offended generation." Some of you say, "The customer is always right bullshit has to stop." Anyone who utters this is a complete moron and has either no concept of business ethics or is 15 years old and thinks they are being righteous and hip. Go ahead, start a business and whenever a customer has a problem with you or the product, tell them to -blam!- OFF. Yea thats a good business model, you will surely succeed.

  • Well I think most people have been extremely rude to him and the rest of the team so he is probably fed up with it and got really annoyed in the update.

  • You knocked it out of the park. Completely and totally unprofessional. Dude's a cnut and people who are defending him and Bungie are only contributing to this game's continued downfall. +1

    • No one at Bungie will [i]ever[/i] take a hint from the community unless they see it directly effect their profits. Which will [i]never[/i] happen, let's face it. I'm not going to stop playing. You aren't going to stop playing.

      • It is Bungie's game economy they do reserve the right to do what they want. If you don't like it complain and they will look into it, which Bungie did and they are fixing it. That's how persistent online games work. "Omg he only has 1600 weapon parts left we need to do something" this was a small joke you want to blow up for no reason. Most jokes are sarcastic in nature but it was not inflammatory in anyway. It's a weekly update they don't all have to be filled with crazy info they are just a weekly news letter to let you know what they have going on at the time. You are reaching to hard for things to hate on.

        • If I was in charge of the verbal diarrhea that is usual in most of the forum posts and comments, I would be passive aggressive sometimes too. Like holy crap guys, they know about sunbreaker, they know about sniper/shotgun balancing. If there's already 100 posts about something, give the guy a break, he's seen it :/

          • Totally agree, the weapon parts "joke" was slightly off-putting, but the "we will do what we want with the economy" comment actually made me a bit angry. Not the way you want to talk to your community when so many high profile games are coming out in days and weeks, not to mention it's YOUR FAULT that these issues exist, Bungie! Padding the game with parts grind failed and failed hard. Also, keep in mind Deej is a mouthpiece for Bungievision, so don't shoot the messenger, necessarily. I really, sincerely hope stress and greed isn't going turn us into the "bad guys" in the eyes of bungie, but i'm starting to wonder. I've seen games (mostly on Steam) where the devs never seemed to be in the wrong, even outright telling players they were wrong, and only seemed to worry about making a quick buck. War z or infestation stories or whatever it's called now is a glaring example and that game died because of it... well, being a bad game didn't help, either lol. I think Bungie needs to work on messaging and follow-through. It also wouldn't hurt if Deej posted an apology and explained what i hope he really meant to say, not how we took it.

            • I'm not so sure how to feel, I mean, there's two evident and real perpectives when I go through the comments... I feel like freaking Lloyd George... I think that I have noticed this passive agressive tone at times like you said... And I agree with your other details too and with some of the comments as well, when it comes to the "less for more" fashion of this game's selling thematics. Seeing how I recently had a great idea about this game in a post of mine, I think they could have given much more to this game to rank with the prices of it. Or at least have more interesting things to come up with and tell us intead of the Raid's challenge modes or whatever thing they shouldn't have kept from us, like some others say. Though I also think that they have the right to joke sometimes whenever it's the case and caertain things shouldn't be taken like your nuts depend on it, y'know.... people having the stove burning in their heads....

            • While I agree the tone I got from the weekly update was a little off, I honestly think it was more of deej having a shitty day in the office than any animosity towards the community
