What if, seven years from now Bungie is not renouned for their video games, but for the community that their games wrought.

Do you think Bungie can achieve world domination not by great games, but through forging a community able to tackle the world?

I think so..

If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

I call shenanigans.

In seven years, Bungie will be known for their giant slingshot shooting their enemies into the sun.

We have an awesome community, but if scary giant communities are going to take over the world with our massive community we will have to do something about that Facebook site.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

I once asked that... 7 years ago.....

I lol'd at the absurd miscommunication that occurs whenever dibbs post something. Perhaps his brain is so highly evolved that he can no longer clearly communicate with lesser life forms, even among his own species.

The initiative for forging a community is always going to be user-based. Bungie can provide platforms to make that easier (private groups, ride alongs, servers in other games) but that drive and willingness has to come from the people already here. That really isn't an easy thing to coax out on a macro level (although I think those ride alongs do a good job) but thankfully there a more than a few people here willing to do that on a micro level (people meeting up with people, independent of Bungie-induced initiative).

Additionally, achieving a sense of community is much more difficult here (than, for example, Facebook) because people are really only going to be initially connecting on one variable (a love for video games) and from there have to find out what else connects them (whereas on Facebook you already have the benefit of starting off as friends).

In seven years, then, I think the best that Bungie can hope for in regards to the community is to be recognized (even by people who don't come here) as a place where you have a good chance of finding awesome people to play with for whatever video game interests you. I personally would consider that to be a big accomplishment (though hopefully not as big of an accomplishment as the games they create).

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."
