It's not really twisting, I'm trying to get you to see our point of view instead of only seeing the world through your own eyes. You assume everything you experience is the same as what everyone else is experiencing or should experience. You assumed that the OP should go to the pub rather than play video games on Friday nights, well what if he is a former alcoholic or he has social anxiety around large crowds? What if he is disabled? What if he does live in a rural area, or even a country, where there aren't any pubs around. A lot of the dissent you hear on the forums are from people whose favorite game of all time was D1 and who have been massively let down and even feel swindled by D2. Instead of the response of 'go get some friends' why don't you stop assuming you know OP's life and try to understand why we're frustrated. And if you disagree, state why you disagree. But telling OP (or a large amount of the people on the forums) that he should just go out to the pub instead of spend time trying to fix a game he loves is down right ignorant on your part, because you don't know shit about OP's life.
And right now, for me, D2 is an empty pub. All the many friends I've made over the years are playing other games, as am I.

I've seen your point of view. The very idea that you think you can "fix" D2 is hilarious. Its a $60 piece of entertainment. If its not actually entertaining you, chalk it up as a bad purchase and move on. This whole "crusade" thing is yet another sign of you guys taking this game way too seriously.

You are definitely wrong if you think movements on the forums have not and will not get Bungie (and other game developers) to change things about their games. In fact, forum feedback is one of the main things that the live team evaluated during all of D1 to make changes to the game. And look at what they've already done to D2, adding in Masterworks and other things specifically to address complaints made by large numbers of people on these very forums. In may cases, developers WANT us to be passionate about the game and give feedback on how to make it better (although in this case they probably aren't enjoying all the hate against their cash cow). I stopped playing D2 a full two months ago. Me, and many others, are here stating the things we would need them to fix for us to come back, and Bungie has literally thanked us over and over for the feedback in their weekly posts. They are lucky, because a lot of people love the potential that this game has. I bought and played The Division for a month and realized it had 1000 flaws as well, so I stopped playing and chalked it up to a bad purchase exactly like you said. But what many of us see in D2 is the potential for a great game, like D1 ended up becoming, that's why we're here. What we don't need is bull shit from a guy like you who thinks they know our lives. Is there something wrong with me going out on Saturday night and socializing and playing on Friday? What if OP moved the strike day to Saturday, or Tuesday, would that appease you? Again, you just assume that everyone has (or should have) the same life and schedule as you and that Fridays are meant solely for partying out with your friends. If you disagree with OP's boycott (which we all know is never going to actually happen), then say that. But don't assume you know OPs life, we are here discussing video games on a video game developer's forum.

Holy. -blam!-ing. Shit. Like I said, way too seriously. Most of the people who replied to my comment understood the spirit in which it was delivered. You took it personally, didn't you? You know what? I apologize. Sorry for trying to have a little fun here, sorry for not analyzing every single word of my post to make sure it was PC and as non-offensive or denominational as possible. I forgot to consider all 6 billion perspectives on this planet when making a light-hearted comment about drinking on a Friday instead of gaming. Enjoy your evening.

The point is that your comment had nothing to do with what OP said and was totally irrelevant. We like to game on Fridays, you like to drink. It was a pointless comment. We are allowed to be passionate about what we do for enjoyment, it's stupid to just say, eh, forget about this thing you are passionate about and go drink instead. And no, I'm not way too serious, I'm exactly the amount of serious that I want to be. I just happen to think that your comment was irrelevant and distracting from the topic at hand. What if everyone's answer to everything was, dude, why do you bother, just go out to the pub and forget all your problems. We'd never get anything done. I mean, why did you bother to reply to OP or reply to my comment 6 times, you could have been at the pub instead of bothering with us losers.
