Love all the member's spouting "MMMMMM YES, I got one mmmm, I feel sorrowful for all those plebeians who did not receive a bag, Mmmmmmm!!!"
Pompous community members, is what we have here. It's (yes I'm about to say this) not Bungie's fault, as much as it is the faulty fanbase. What is this I don't even..
Who is acting that like that?! LOL.
Also, how was the anonymous seller thing (explained previously by "anOldCrustyLady") the Community's fault? wtf.
By putting blind faith in a company, first mistake, worst mistake.
Everytime.
It's great to support a company, but sitting at your computer pressing F5 ad infinitum for something you theoretically may or may not get is ridiculous.
I honestly do feel bad for those that didn't get a bag strictly because they either hesitated to buy from the unknown seller, or because they canceled their order. I was extremely disappointed to learn that Gorilla Screen Print was legit because I was there, with the item in my cart, but I couldn't make myself buy something that might be a scam. When Halcylon announced that it was really Bungie, I was saying in my head "-blam!- you Bungie, what a dirty dirty move you pulled there. I'm beyond disappointed at the way you handled this." I was pissed. But, being a psychopath, I decided I had to double check they were sold out, so 5 minutes later I tried on Amazon and it worked, I bought a Swag Bag.
Considering another member had to ask you who you thought was being "pompous," I think you're a minority there. Some people wanted bags, some people are die hard Bungie fans; and though I don't consider myself in that group, I figured I could drop some cash for a great charity and get some free stuff thrown my way in return.
Am I glad I got a bag? Heck yes. Do I genuinely feel sorry for those that didn't because of the scam threat? Yes.
No matter which way Bungie handled it, there was going to be people that were content, people that were irate, and people that were happy.
