Over-delivery isn't over-delivery if you love and play your own game

I was making dinner for my family today when i realized how much it sucks cooking in a hot kitchen in hot temperatures. My brain spent half the time thinking about how much easier it would have been to just order out, and buying those meal prep kits all over the internet right now. The remaining half of my brain thinks completely differently though. Its the part that drives me to do this hard uncomfortable work that I definitely don't have to do because it brings joy to people I care for and even myself once I get to sit down and enjoy the meal. Can't beat a good home-cooked meal right? Maybe whoever is reading this already know where I'm going with this. Bungie, you changed your philosophy from "We make games we want to play" or something like that. Now your primary philosophy and concern is over-delivery, which just doesn't make any sense... unless you just stopped caring about whether its something you or others enjoy. Why cut cost on something you can make amazing for yourselves? Has money taken such a definitive priority that everything is worth neglecting until the money starts to slow down? Or have the majority of employees just lost interest in the game as players? I get you're a business and money will always be a high priority, no one is arguing that, but if you're going to abandon the original philosophy completely, you owe it to the player base to be honest and transparent about it. If you want Destiny as a franchise to be nothing but a soulless money-grab, Then instead of wasting our time with a State of the Game wall of text making excuses, why not at least have the backbone to face the people you've seemingly betrayed? Wouldn't you, as players to some extent yourselves, want the same thing? Are you sure you want Destiny to go from your ultimate legacy to your biggest failure? Is money so important that you can no longer be bothered to spend a little extra to make something wonderful for yourselves? What part of the player base are you guys thinking of when you make these decisions? the die-hard fans or the hate-filled fools harassing your employees? If it means anything to any of you, I am still foolish enough to have hope. I want to believe there are people there that want to still go above and beyond and not turn this this franchise into BAU. To treat themselves to a work of art that speaks for itself in that fun comes first and only secondly does it also happen to benefit the players. I leave this post as a means of love, not hate. Please don't let me down.
