I'm not sure if this is the place to post this, and I doubt that it will be a fruitful means of chastisement, but here goes.
As I watched the "Bag O' Swag" drama unfold today, I found myself woefully disappointed by the Bungie Community. The forums, reviews, and twitter feeds were filled with rage towards a developer that so many claim to respect and admire. These posts of angst revealed a depth of ungratefulness matched only by a high sense of self-entitlement. "Long-time" and "diehard" fans devolved into whining, fair-weather bandwagoneers, so easily provoked to jump ship at the slightest disappointment.
I tried a few times throughout the day to score a Bag; I endured the cycle of hope, excitement, confusion, and disappointment as I added a Bag to my cart, only to have Amazon tell me there were none available. I didn't get a bag, and that's disappointing. Yet my disappointment is greatly tempered by the hours of enjoyment that I have experienced, and will experience, as I play a game over which so many labored tirelessly.
Thankfully, I was not the only one who shrugged off disappointment. Though they were few and far between, others in the Community shared their grateful respect and admiration for Bungie despite the circumstances of the day. Hats off to you, kindred spirits and true fans.
Happy Anniversary, Bungie! Thank you for the incredible ride: this fan remembers fondly the pre-Halo days. Keep up the good work - I can't wait to see what comes next!
