And this is EXACTLY how Bungie Day 2011 should be remembered as.
What we did this Bungie Day was amazing, we gave many, many children iPads, and who knows, maybe even more.
Exactly. I -blam!- proud to have taken part in a Bungie charity effort yet again. I love the fact that Bungie does so much to help people, and seeing as how much I love Bungie as a company and love their games (been a loyal fan since 2001) I love the chance that they give us to help give back to those in need.
Even if I didn't get a bag (I never get this lucky with anything, it's a freaking miracle as far as I'm concerned) I would have been proud anyway to take part in the whole thing. We -blam!- raised over $20,000 for children. Sit back and actually think about that for a second. That is incredible.
And that's not taking into account how much more money Bungie has been raising with the sale of other Bungie Store products. I fully intend to buy more t-shirts to help support their cause (and cus the shirts are just plain cool...lol).
I'm proud to be a part of Bungie's community, and I think everyone else should be as well. Today, bungie showed a blatant disregard for its fans and community. I could care less if this was for charity or for profit (i don't believe in charity andyway) and I'm utterly disgusted at bungie if they think what they did today was ok.
I don't want to start a quote pyramid or a chain argument, as I don't have any grudges against you.
But I think you have lost sight of the purpose of this effort. Bungie is trying to raise money for the charity, and these bags are a cool way to give back to their fans and make that charity happen.
I don't think Bungie showed a blatant disregard for their fans, because their fans were still able to buy the bags. Who else would buy the bags, really? The lack of notification on the legitimacy of Gorilla Screen Printing could have been handled better, yes, but I feel like you are over-exaggerating. It was not Bungie's intent to screw anyone over.
The entire point of this event was for charity, whether you agree with charity or not. Likewise, whether you agree with charity or not the end result is that $20,000 is going to sick children. Even if I didn't get a bag I would be amazed and thrilled at that news.
