Finally got around to checking the new Update, which by the way was great as usual, yet to my disgust when checking the responses to update I found pages and pages of disgruntled Penny Arcaders ripping into the post and Halo responders. Now I'll give it that many of these guys probably live on these forums and might consider someone new posting something akin to blasphemy, but excuse me, who the crap do they think they are? Don't they realize that it is companies like Bungie that give their stupid little forum a reason to exist. Even the admin's note was dripping with disdain. I can't understand how some people build up such snobbish attitude on some forums. They feel that having 500 gazillion posts gives them the right trash whoever they danged well feel like.
And trashing a rep from a company like Bungie no less, who willingly decides to fill in their gamers on all the cool new stuff they are doing and have planned. It's that kind of devotion to gamers that makes Bungie seem so personable. When you have direct insight into the day to day happenings of a revered game studio, you can't help but feel apart of the excitement, apart of the team. I think Penny Arcade owes an apology to Bungie and Halo fans alike for such a poor reception. Now, I'm not suggesting setting up your computer to relentlessly ping Penny Arcade.... but by all means avoid the site.
