Attention all members of the 7th column,

For years, we at bungie.net have strived to not be apart of the 99%, and now I must look at myself in the mirrior and ask that one question of Bungie.net, that we are not the 99%!

Bungie has never given into the social society of twitter, facebook, imagur, pinterest or any other of that useless crap, but this drawn the line. You see, recently after the crossing of Halo stats were thrown into 343 hands, a basic line has been drawn that cannot be altered. The numbers are staggering and only increasing. Without furthur ado, I give you our first sign of demise:

WTF IS THIS?

This is our last hope seventh column, if we cannot find a way, no one will.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Truth is a matter of perception.

Just an Average Joe...

Are you slow? They've been using twitter and facebook for a while.

And as a gaming company that wants to be able to interact with their fans or keep them informed regularly, utilizing multiple media outlets is the smart thing to do. Ignoring them would be idiotic, and show a lack of effort to create exposure for a company's presence.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

'Like' and Tweet buttons have been around since Halo: Reach's launch when Bungie.net was given an upgrade (might even be earlier than that).

This is nothing new; I don't know why you're being overly dramatic about something as petty as a few social networking buttons. Bungie's community extends far beyond their own website; they've had a Twitter and Facebook page for a very long time now.

You imply a level of control over Halo: Reach matchmaking that we no longer have. Or, in your vernacular, it isn't our shiznit anymore.

You lost my respect right there. No one has ever thought of Bungie's Twitter and Facebook page as useless crap, and I can't even think of one time when I didn't enjoy being updated with Bungie's news through those sites.

Also I think you might have your statistics wrong.

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."

I don't get it.

We should know better, because we are better.

Every company has a twitter/Facebook/google+ page nowadays. In fact, I'm more surprised by the amount of likes that has.

Canada isn't that important that it needs two of the same threads on page one.

As long as they don't get a reddit/9gag one, I don't give a -blam!-. FB and Twitter are obviously for marketing and social networking.

When all hope seems lost, and the ground is littered with the bodies of our fallen comrades, wait for the thunderous crash of my rifle, and I shall lead us to salvation.

I was going to try and make a funny post, but after accidentally reading the OP twice I just have a headache.
