It seems to me that a large number of the gaming community has forgotten or failed to realize that companies like bungie and activision essentially work for us, the gaming community. Without our money they do not exist. Saying "the game sucks but just be grateful to have a game and take it for what it is", which I have been seeing a lot, will perpetuate the trend that has been occurring in recent years. Developers used to aspire to push the limits and boundaries of what video games could be. Better graphics, more intricate story lines, more interactive open world environments, etc. Some few are still doing this but other companies, like activision, are taking a different approach. They are dumbing down games in order to make them appealing to a greater audience, including younger gamers and those less experienced, allowing them to sell more games and increase their profits. They have figured out they can cut out half a game sell it in dlcs and essentially increase their profits without the cost of creating more content. If we, as gamers, say "yeah the game sucks and isn't remotely close to what we were told it would be but oh well at least we have a shitty game instead of no game", this will only continue to get worse. If we as consumers hold developers and publishers to a higher standard we can create change.
