Open letter from Bungie/Activision to the community

I was privy to receive an open letter to the gaming community from Bungie, written by Activision's marketing department. While the contents may shock some people, I’m not surprised with the attitude. [quote]In a world being encroached by The Darkness, Guardians are asked to become legend and a small group of PvP players want the game to be PvP focused instead of the semi-open world FPS RPG we billed it as. But it doesn’t matter, because our games are on the cover of multiple magazines and posters. Look how cool that Guardian looks looking back at you while holding an exotic auto rifle.. If you play our game the way we want you to and only the way we want you to, forced into PvP balancing and the game mode itself, you’ll be that cool, too. And chicks will dig you. At Bungie, we allowed you to go online with a bunch of people, just like a bunch of other companies have done, dating back to 1996. However, ours is better, because we are going to charge you astronomical prices for areas already finished. [b][i]Because you suck, and we hate you[/i][/b]. You gave us back our entire projected investment the first week alone. It may have been lacking in story, customization, event content, and it still doesn’t include half the features we promised, and most of you can’t stand the PvP aspect, but that’s your fault. If you were real fans and real gamers, you would love everything we’ve done to the game and to you. Once again, look at those nerfs we did to keep the 12 year old kids happy in PvP while also making PvE frustrating. You know you love those nerfs in PvE! If you were a real gamer and a real fan, you would have enough skill from grinding every hour of every day, only playing our game, or you’d get better at using the nerfed weapons and just start playing PvP exclusively. And by the way, check out that remark about "class rebalancing". Hunters are going to be so neutered, they'll be the least used class thanks to the massive nerfs to keep our small PvP crowd happy. If you were really a true gamer and fan, you wouldn’t mind it. Plus, we interviewed 100 people who PvP only and they all like it without complaining. Real fans would lick our boots clean, give us their entire paycheck, and tell everyone to do the same. If you don’t like it, that’s because you’re not a true fan nor gamer. By the way, our ten year plan for recycled game content and locked disk content is the bestest things ever, and totally worth the asinine scalped prices, but note that any other company which does this with their games, like Capcom, are commie jerks. Not that it matters, because you bought our game and we want more money from you. [b][i]Because you suck, and we hate you[/i][/b], but you know you’ll keep coming back, eventually breaking down and buying our crap. We can continue to beat you down like Chris Brown does to Rhianna, but you’ll come back…you always do. Buy into all of our lies or we’ll keep removing your ability to play effectively in the PvE game. Then again, we'll do it anyway. Sincerely Activision Marketing Department by care of Bungie.[b] [i]Because you suck. And we hate you[/i][/b].[/quote]
