Bungie, I have a great deal of respect for you, and I look up to you guys, but this? This is low.

Sure, it's a helpful thing you're doing, but why is it you guys have never (or rarely) done this before. There's genocide in Darfur, there's aborted girl babies in China, there's corruption in South America, is Haiti better then them? Why not help other people of the world? Why are you giving away your charity exclusively?

It seems you only donate when disaster strikes, and don't help currect torments in the world. I find this charity a joke and a mockery to the rest of the world, and I'm deeply ashamed.


If helping a country that was almost completely destroyed in one night causes you shame, then just don't help. But don't run around telling Bungie how wrong they are to aid dying Haitians.
Simply put, I'm not helping, but I'm allowed to share my opinion on the subject.

Plus, I never used the word "wrong"


Sorry. You used the word "low", not "wrong". My apologies.

Sorry I sounded like a db in my first post.
I think it's great thing you guys are doing :)
I shouldn't let my politcal views overshadow that.
In fact, it's such a damn good shirt, I'm probably gonna show some support :)

I can't believe there are some people saying things like, "where's the update?" or "why doesn't Bungie help all these other people instead?"

You ever thought that nobody short of God would be able to solve everyone's woes? That Bungie doesn't have to help anyone and when they do (especially for a tragedy like this) they should be supported? That this might in fact be more important than new info about a video game ?

Either grow up or keep your own remarks to yourself.

How can you check to see how many people play with the emblem. Or is the fundraising including all the players and the emblem is just to show support?

  • 01.15.2010 9:13 PM PDT

Does anyone even read these?

That's really awesome of you guys, shame I can't order from the Bungie Store because I live in Australia. I'll be playing Halo with a heart though!

  • 01.15.2010 9:18 PM PDT

This is very, very generous. It's so great to see so many people helping out with this effort. I donated $20 myself. It's really not that much... but it feels good to know that I've helped save a person's life.

Haiti is a crisis, which, besides for the unorganized looting parties, can be solved simply, with material goods and community service (i.e. money).

Seriously, tell me what Bungie can do about the Darfur genocide, aborted chinese babies, or south american corruption. They're doing the best they can as an economic company.

Darfur can only be solved with military presence along with education and lessons in tolerance. Hovewer, our governmnet is reluctant to help because China trades with Darfur and would be angry with us if we interrupted that. Yes, the government is corrupt, and many politicians care more about money than what's right. Welcome to life. Bungie doesn't have an army. What exactly do you want them to do?

Aborted babies in China. Again, what exactly do you want Bungie to do? Send an Army to China and make a foreign policy on the behalf of our government and enforce it?

Corruption in South America. Corruption is everywhere. For the third time, what can Bungie do about it?

Bungie is helping where they can. Stop criticizing them, when they're doing a good thing in the first place. They're doing as much as they can to help. Appreciate that.

"Seems to me you should spend less time on that article and more time working on that novel you've been working on!!!"

I'm not for or against anyone in this, as I could make multiple varying comments on the events going on right now, but people need to keep their comments to themselves. Either you care about what happened, or you feel multiple other ways about this matter. Do something or don't.

Fact is, Bungie is trying to help out, and get the community to help out, LIKE THEY'VE DONE MANY TIMES IN THE PAST. Bungie has always been very involved in their community and fanbase, and this money-raising is nothing new.

There is no new weekly update, get over it. Thousands of people die, and there is no update on reach on this site. If you want it, go support Game Informer, they just released a 10 page article on tons of new stuff on Reach for crying out loud.

I like to see the support, and I like to see everyone's opinions, but some things mean different things to different people. But lets not all get in a fuss. Settle down young ones.

It's crazy that a game company like Bungie is doing that much towards Haiti, which is great. I was just in Haiti at an orphanage over Christmas break on a medical missions trip. Now the orphanage and church are destroyed :/ Kinda shocking. In fact my sister and her boyfriend just left Haiti 3 days before the incident. I hope everybody will pitch in and help out.
