What's funny is that people fail to realize that Bungie didn't have to do any of this for anyone. They could've remade some obscure map for Reach and called it a day. The fact that they're going through all of this trouble, and not actually see any profits from it, on top of dealing with butthurt kids who feel entitled, is pretty amazing.
I don't have to go pick up a friend who needs a ride, but when I say I will I'm expected to show up on time. What Bungie did is the equivalent of showing up 2 hours late with a car that barely runs.
Except if you told your friend, 'I'll be there around 10', and don't show up until later, he doesn't have the right to be pissed off. You said 'around 10', something could've come up that you had to take care of, etc.
Everyone decided to ignore the fact that Bungie NEVER said 10 AM PST on the dot, and mass-F5ed the Bungie Store into derping. It affected the process on the Amazon end, which they were trying to fix, except everyone kept F5ing despite being asked not to.
I really don't see why everyone is blaming Bungie. Because they didn't anticipate this? Who are we to say that they didn't, and whatever they had planned for it didn't work? We're not, because we don't know any better. Like I said before, everyone is feeling entitled, with no justification for it. Grow up.
I have a hard time believing you'd be so understanding had you not gotten TWO! Most of us didn't get one, been watching it since well before the time they said and and then 2 and a half hours later nothing changed, we have a right to be a little upset, and you have no right to be all high and mighty, telling us to be understanding when you got TWO!
I would still be understanding if I wasn't able to get 2. You know why? Because I'm not an immature little kid who thinks that because Bungie 'promised' us something, they're entitled to get it. I've been watching the store since 9 AM EST, I waited patiently for it to be available, I bought 2 swag bags. If you missed out, I'm sorry you missed it. If you missed out and proceeded to rage all over the forums that Bungie screwed you and that you're never playing Reach again and that you're going to Call of Duty, and that Bungie is stupid because they should've know that the site was going to crash because they should've know that no one would listen to them when they asked everyone to stop F5ing, well, you are an idiot with the intelligence level of a brick.
Bungie did not have to offer anything to us at all. End of story. I'm truly sorry that people missed out on the bags, I really am. But in the end, the only difference between those who got one and those who didn't comes down to who was faster.
