Well, here we are. I guess that it was destined to come to this.
Bungie is and has (in all of the years, okay decades, that I have been aware of them as an entity) always been fun, funny, creative and decent people. Matt Soell once explained it as the Bungie rule of "only work with cool people" or inversely, "don't associate with jerks".
This has permeated the company to the point I don't even think of them as a company. I think of them more like this really really LARGE band. Hang on, I'll explain. Not a rock band, not even a jazz band, but that is closer. A collection of people under a banner, everyone is creative in their own right, but many of them were fans before they joined. Everyone who is currently "playing" is there because it is EXACTLY where and what they want to be. And because of that excitement, because of that love, they give their best. Always.
Now, the community? That same sort of "associate with cool people and don't associate and be dragged down by jerks" permeates the community that we fans are each a part of. Some are into the games, some into the culture, but in all, the amount of cool people, talented people, creative people and above all PASSIONATE people is utterly amazing to me.
That is why, as my gaming abilities, and even interest, start to diminish along with my myelin sheaths, my enjoyment, dedication and yes, even love, for this community hasn't diminished. Ever.
