I think the audio for the video might be -blam!-ed up. It was kinda muffled like the dude was trying to talk through a mouthful of dog shit. All I could really hear was.... [i]"What's up guys it's me, PretentiousDickbag here with another Talk Shit About Bungie While I Play Destiny video. In this video, I'm gonna be talking about a huge controversy that I only know one side of because I read it in an article written by whatever gaming site happens to be trustworthy this week. I'm gonna pretend to know what I'm talking about because I was an intern for 3 days at my mom's work so I have plenty of experience when it comes to this kinda shit. So just sit back and relax while I shove this rhetoric down your throat and make sure you feel like utter trash for disagreeing with me."[/i] I don't know... should I maybe turn the volume down a bit?

What happened to that thread with the redditt post about the story?

Bp

Agree or disagree with his criticism towards Destiny. Everyone should be worried that this is what the future holds for gaming in general.

Bungie had to step in and stop the bleeding by taking it off #1 in #Destiny, wow, cowards couldn't even respond.....

bump. waken the dead..

EDIT: If you want to support this thread, just like it and walk away, go and enjoy the rest of your day and don't bother arguing with people on here. Thank you to everyone who liked/bumped.

Bump this shizznit. Screw this bungie censorship.

Destiny sucks...

This guy makes a lot of valid points about markets and equilibrium prices, but he doesn't seem to understand them fully. Remember that this is a franchise, not a single game. If the consumers are dissatisfied with the first installment, the entire franchise will suffer. If the franchise suffers, Activision and bungie will lose money. If they lose money, they will be more vulnerable to competition. On the flip side, games are becoming exponentially more expensive to produce, especially for multiple platforms. So please understand that an optimal equilibrium between cost, revenue, customer satisfaction, development times, server maintenance, and other uncertainties is very difficult to determine in the relatively new market that is video games, but also expect the growing pains to ease over time. A free market is ruled by the consumer.

[i]Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.[/i] Or so it is said... I gave up on Destiny a couple of months ago, haven't played since. I believed in the game at first; the beta was just enough to give me some hope. I was there on launch day. But while the mechanics are good, the execution is hollow. Not enough there. And Bungie continually F's with the game balance until it has become a big joke. I spent far too many hours insanely chasing down this rabbit hole, hoping there was something at the end of this long, long grind. Oh, it's easy to lose yourself for a while in the madness, but it has no meaning. There is no ultimate point, because it's just ... pointless. I've voiced my opinions before in these forums, adding my support to the chorus of people realizing the deception and the lies and the pure B.S. for what it really is. We have been ignored by those most culpable, and likewise harassed by mindless, know-nothing apologists for Deej and the others at Bungie. Now of days, I rarely visit these forums, as people seem to only raise the same old excuses again and again, the same old epithets are levied over and over. But once in a while someone catches onto what someone like "Batman" says and they realize the emperor really has no clothes after all. I respond because this subterfuge that has been foisted on us by the likes of Bungie and Activision is only the tip of the iceberg. This is indeed a very negative trend we're seeing, and it will only get worse if people continue to tolerate it. Is there anyone here who can recall what happened over thirty years ago to the first video gaming market? Do [i]none[/i] of you recall how the same shoddy business practices that happened back then led to a complete meltdown of the industry? Don't tell me it cannot happen again, because there is no such thing as "too big to fail". I see the same d*mn thing happening now with the attitudes of game companies so focused on making an easy profit that they're willing to screw over their customers. They are again forgetting the cardinal rule that [i]the customer is always right[/i]. And when the customer grows tired of this B.S. they will walk away and find other avenues to entertain themselves. Just watch. I should think Sony and Microsoft have the most incentive to straighten this out, as they each have the most to lose from a collapse of the console game market this time. Right now both companies' most profitable divisions are their game divisions — were those to fail, both corporations would be in dire straights, Sony in particular. And 2015 is shaping up to be a make-or-break year for the both of them and the entire industry.
