Always a pleasure to virtually meet someone in the software world. Plus, folks named Joe are just statistically awesome people - although there may be a bit of polling bias there. ;-) I used to spend a good amount of time debunking a lot of the theories on here, but a lot of that has fallen to the wayside. Am sure that I've been muted by many (as well as having muted plenty, myself). In the end, though, it is the things like the contents of the patch that speak the most loudly. There is absolutely no disputing the human effort it took to build, coordinate, and release that amount of effort. At the end of the day, game development is not really that different from any other sector of software development. They all have more in common with them, than not. The one thing that you can never escape, regardless of the type of product you are delivering, is that you will almost certainly have an end user base that is largely oblivious to how the process of putting these things in front of them actually work.

YOUR NAME IS JOE TOOOO!!!1 Nice! Are you on ps3 by chance? [spoiler]Joe's forever!![/spoiler]

Sorry, but am on PS4. Soon to also be on XB1, too. My real-life friends are pretty evenly split between the consoles, so I'll be buying Destiny again, just so I can join them, too. My PS3 is still hooked up, but no Destiny. Have not had the heart to box it up yet, because I am not enjoying the fact that PS Now is solely rental-based now. Had been using it since the Alpha, because they were suggesting that you would be able to buy those games, and not just rent them. Was really hoping that the rumors of putting in a game from an older console, and getting access to it through PS Now would have panned out. That would have been the "killer app", in my opinion. Clan Idea - "Average Joes". Only pre-requisite is in the name. Could imagine that the fireteam leader would suffer from a nervous breakdown, though, when calling audibles. Will still throw you a friend request, in hopes that they eventually open up cross-generational play, or that you end up getting a PS4. :-)
