One Word: Quityerbitchin'

There was a time when I thought that working for Bungie would be one of the coolest jobs in the world. I dreamt of working on designing games and stories or cloaking new stuff in a mysterious shroud that would spark debate across the world. DeeJ was the person I had the most exposure to, of course, and I always thought it would be fun to have his job. Now I'm not so sure. If there's one thing Guardians have proved, it's that they're good at whining. I used to love coming to these forums and hearing people talk about the game. I used to love reading people's theories and comments on things that happened to them in the game. Now the forums aren't fun at all. Now listen, I'm not much of a romantic, and I'm not saying this game is flawless. It has some problems. It's even got some BIG problems, but you know what? I've had a blast playing it, and I've wasted almost 4 days of my life doing so. Personally, I can't say that about any other game I've ever played. In terms of quantity, I've had more fun playing this game than I've had with many others combined. I am sure there are many Guardians who feel the same, but it's become the cool thing to complain endlessly on the forums in tasteless, petty ways. "-blam- you DeeJ!" "This game sucks." "Bungie needs to fix their shit." I think there needs to be two sections on these forums: one for positivity and one for bitching. One for people who [i]like[/i] playing games and one for pessimistic fun-suckers. And I'm not saying that the complaints would all go into the latter either. Although most of my generation will never grasp this, there is such a thing as constructive criticism. There is such a thing as satire. There is such a thing as tact. And you know what? There's also such a thing as optimism. Life sucks sometimes, you guys. There's all kind of crap we deal with everyday personally and as a world, but when people turn on their console or jump into the Companion they're trying to escape from that for a moment. They're trying to forget about arguments, politics, and whatever else is going wrong in the world. Unfortunately, it seems Destiny has become a microcosm of those issues. The negativity has created a place where only negativity thrives, and those people feed off each other in and endless cycle. It's not gonna ruin [i]my[/i] experience; I've resolved on that, but it's possible it could ruin the experience of others. So when you get angry at something and rage quit, [i]think[/i] about what you're saying before you post it, and then hashtag that mother with #bitching. If you want to complain endlessly about things that piss you off then call your congressman.
