Subject: Guys remember where your money is going....

Hallo :D

Everyone just stop complaining and blaming Bungie for everything just because you couldn't get a swag bag. I didn't get one either, even when i stayed up for 23 hours. Remember the money your paying for the swag bags are not going to Bungie at all, their going straight to charity. Stop saying Bungie screwed up or your done with Bungie or Bungie is the worst. Without Bungie we wouldn't have had 10 glorious years of Halo. Without Bungie their would be no Halo, and without Halo their'd be no swag bags to fight for in the first place. You should remember all the great times we had with Bungie, just because of this little error doesnt give you the right to criticize them on their work. So everyone shut your mouths already, if you want a swag bag so bad buy a bag and fill it with stuff. Or you can be productive and buy something else from the Bungie store that will support Charity.

I will always love Bungie no matter what. Even though i couldnt get my hands on a swag bag i will always support Bungie throughout any cause.


Who's ready for Bungie Day?

5 out of 6 pediatricians can't tell the difference between a resident vagabond and a local hobo.

Bungie screwed up. They got the same amount of money for charity, but somehow managed to piss off the community far more that I had ever expected they could. I'd be far less mad if they sold 50,000 bags and I didn't get any via the normal way.

So shedding some logical light on the situation is suddenly sucking up? You sir, make cents.

I agree with you completely OP, great post, and well needed at a time like this. Kudos.

That's the number of bans in this thread. Next time you want to derail something, go stand in front of a train.

I don't care at the situation how we were left in the blue, however as said in ways we deserved it.

We caused problems at Amazon's end by repeatedly refreshing the page, maybe this was the only way to get them up? People were complaining about where are they.

Which may also be why they didn't post saying that it's up under a different seller.

Granted, it would be nice to have a tweet now, but we've received some posts from Bungie Employee's saying it's all legit, so that's better than nothing, right?

Yes it is for charity, and I'm glad to know my money has gone to help people. Personally I would choose where to donate my money, and something for close to home (UK here), but of course I don't object in this situation. Bungie are giving items away worth at least $30, but maybe even more.

I respect them for what they're doing, and I am not pissed, and I'm glad my money is helping people.

  • 06.30.2011 1:15 PM PDT

If I wanted to donate to charity I would donate to the one of my choice. I didn't want to donate I wanted to buy a bag but they managed to mess that up didn't they?

Agreed. Everyone complaining is being materialistic as hell. Want some Halo swag? Hop onto ebay and buy some Halo doll for $5.

The whole point behind the Bags O' Swag was to fund raise for charity. What's gone is gone. Even if Amazon wouldn't have run into problems and everything went smoothly, people would still be complaining one way or another.

- I want to add that the original problem with the listing rooted from the community and Bungie had no control on how Amazon resolved this issue.

No they're right. Bungie screwed up. What they SHOULD have done is made unlimited amounts of every single piece of merchandise they've ever made so that every single boy and girl could be happy with no strings attached!

I bet most of the people saying all this -blam!- about being materialistic and butt-hurt didn't sit here and wait 6 hours and/or they got in previously.

Great, they did it for children charities.

But guess what? BUNGIE HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY DICKS. They release five hundred of these bags -- -blam!- it up beyond belief, might I add -- and then give us some -blam!- news on a piece of -blam!- "Aerospace" development, that gives us nothing good, except a bunch of -blam!- mobile apps.

It's nice that they did it for children charities, but they -blam!- -blam!- up so bad.

Assumptions are stupid.

  • 06.30.2011 1:22 PM PDT

I still think Bungie is cool and all, but they wasted over 2 hours of my time. You can't really just shrug that off and say how cool Bungie is.

It's awesome of them to give it all to charity, but honestly I'm still pissed off at how poorly this was handled.

Better fail with a chance than fail without one.

Happy Bungie Day though Bungie. On the bright side, I still got 30 bucks in my pocket.

Hallo :D

I understand that they messed up pretty bad today, but that doesnt give anyone any right to criticize them in any way. I also know how it feels to sit around at your computer waiting for the release of the swag bags. I have yet to went to sleep because of the fear i would miss this. So I've been awake for about 20 hours or so.

yep, even if I get crap in my bag (i.e. mostly clothing which will be too small for me), I will be happy that I gave $30 to charity.
