This is a follow up post to my last post which highlited the predatory anti consumer practices of Bungie. Every Thursday they release a patch note and many people were expecting some of the issues will be addressed. However the statement made by a supposedly indie small company is this.
"No game launch is perfect, and on top of that we need to add the many changes implemented in this release that need some time to adjust to".
Well yes that hold true for NEW games releasing or games which are early access. NOT for games which are made by freaking billion dollar companies with FULL price tag and THE MOST IMPORTANT part is it's in the 11th year of its life cycle. Yes a game so old Bungie is making players look like it's your fault you were expecting "Perfect Things" from the game.
This is exactly what happens when the CEO is buying luxury cars and firing employees left and right. Specially the QA team. Bungie has made its paying customer base as PLAYTESTERS for them. So basically they are behaving like an indie company which release early access game every year for past 11 year. Fucking ridiculous capitalism and corporate culture at peak.
Also one more thing the only criticism they addressed was of that ammo. Yes an FPS LOOTER SHOOTER game doesn't drops ammo for you. Anyways won't go into every details as those can be easily accessed at r/destinythegame.
Any ways just some stuff which again need to be highlighted among gamers. EA, Ubusoft get much of flake but there are wolves among sheeps which need to be identified. I am also posting here as destiny mods are deleting most of post for past weeks.
EDIt: I think some people are confusing BUGS with what actually going on with game . For context- No one is complaining about bugs my friends. It's the core game changes which many people are against. Just to give you context they have effectively made the game last 7 years of content effectively REDUNDANT. YES all the content people paid for is now made useless. How you ask ? By making it much much much harder to complete by spiking artificial difficulty (minus power delta) and most importantly the loot which drop from those activities are NOT compliant with current loot system. For e.g you CANT even enter new higher level activities without equipping the new gear ie all old gears are USELESS. effectively deleting last 7 years of game without removing it from game. The interesting part they will Resell all those activities in the name of being revamped in coming years

That’s not how software development works, my dude. Unfortunately for your rage, Bungie is technically right: No complex software is bug-free. They can make this statement and be correct in a vacuum.
When did they last launch a game, lol. 2014 with Destiny? After spending like half a billion on marketing?
I didn’t have root for Bungie’s downfall and valorant to flop on the 2025 bingo card.
I dunno, I seem to remember the Halo, Halo 2, and Halo 3 launches going off pretty well perfectly?
Bungie died a long time ago
Why you letting Bungie live in your head rent free big dawg? Maybe just drop the game if you hate it so much.
I miss the first few years of Destiny 2.
“Indie company”?
Sony enters the chat…
capitalism is destroying our video games… where can i switch the timeline?
Allow me to introduce you to…. Kirby games
Game launches during the PS1-PS2 era were perfect though. Or they needed to be because you shipped a game and that was it, you couldn’t update or patch it after that.
When did we get used to this ‘fix it after launch’ mentality.
Remember fellas, they’re starving and that’s why you need to buy expansions, season passes, event passes, extra content passes and mxt’s to get any of the cooler looking gear.

Sounds like Destiny has switched from being a game to being a Product. Games really get worse when the MBAs and Product Managers take over with game design decisions.
