What Could Have Been.
An open letter to those disappointed/frustrated with the update
Dear aggravated reader, I hope you are able to swim through your ocean of arrogance and read this letter.
I will get right down to the point. Stop blaming Bungie for everything.
You have been -blam!-ing and whining for hours now, about how brief of a Weekly Update there was.
It is not Bungie's fault in any way whatsoever.
Microsoft was the publisher who pulled the plug on the announcement, not to mention the follow-up conference that Bungie would have had, if you don't know that by know.
Microsoft. Not Bungie.
Bungie had all of the preparations made. They were completely ready. Unfathomably excited, too.
They were obviously caught off-guard with this whole thing, and it must have felt pretty damn bad to be used by Microshaft the way that they were. Envision a mile-high tower of glinting diamonds and gold constructed, then swiftly blown up from the base.
Where am I going with this? It should be apparent by now.
Imagine if everything went perfectly. If Microsoft wasn't the king of all money-grubbing attention whores that it is. Let's say the announcement goes on, Sony and Nintendo are blown out of the water.
The Bungie follow-up conference follows, showing the masterpiece that they have only just revealed to the world.
Then comes Friday, and with it one of the best damn Weekly Updates ever on Bungie.net.
So much text, that they need to add an entirely new page for the article.
All of us are extremely auspicious after reading it, and can't ask for more.
My point is, it is NOT Bungie's fault that this update is so concise. They didn't cancel the announcement which lead to this.
Stop giving the employees of Bungie Studios crap. They do not deserve it. Let me re-phrase that, we don't deserve them.
They have sweat, bled, and possibly even urinated a little bit to prepare all of this.
We the fans have waited months for this, how hard would it be to wait another month at minimum?
Any fan would go that far. Any true fan at least.

I less than three you guys. Srsly.
Here are some knee pads, and a napkin for your mouth, even after all this.... you can't haz Recon!
