I decided to crack and make this thread in regards to the following: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/186832656/0/0. If you haven't already, join The Peoples Gaming, because it's awesome.
The topic "we all have our own thoughts about Bungie" brings many ideas into my head. It's always interesting to see the wide variety of different players and users. Believe it or not, I've met quite a few people on these forums who don't know what Halo is. "Bungie" may ring a bell to them- maybe a friend told them about a badass game or two. I still find myself being that friend often. Then, you'll find users who know and hold Bungie history close to their heart, who have been there since the beginning, and would bleed blue if ever asked to. Even a mix of both.
Either way, there's always that [i]one thing[/i] that every user on this forum has in common with one another. We like to play games.
You like to play games. I like to play games. We already have something in common, and when you interact, a relationship builds immediately. I've never seen it happen so easily anywhere else. Halo days aside ([i]which is a completely different dimension and time that dates back to who knows when[/i])- I have had the chance to play and interact with so many incredible people, not only because of Destiny, but because of Bnet and the urban culture that you'll find around the forums. I have had the chance to lurk different forums, play different games, and involve myself in different, game-related discussions all elsewhere. Trust me, nobody does it like we do it here- good and bad.
Bungie will mean different things to different people. Some people want to sue Bungie because they deleted their Passage Coins by mistake, and others like myself appreciate the content that they produce, and have always produced. That's from my perspective. I rarely care about what goes right and what goes wrong, especially in Destiny. I genuinely have fun playing the game. A lot of fun.
What it fully means to me is something that can't really be described, having it been a part of my life for a pretty long time. It's online, yes. This doesn't make it any less of a community, or anything other than real. Any Bnet veteran can confirm that for you. Involve yourself in the community, join groups, make friends, and you'll probably never shake this site and community off either.
Bungie does it best. That's the tru7h.
