Why Bungie, why would you do this?! - Halo Community

It happened when Jeb started working on the game instead of Notch.
No, Jeb adds things people want and have wanted. Right before he quit working on it, Notch pulled 1.8 out of nowhere, and forced us to deal with Hunger and Enderman.
Endermen: Notch's original philosophy, which he even stated in an interview, said that everything that happened in your world was a consequence of you. Thats why creepers have to reach you to explode. Endermen changed that by ruining the terrain. I don't know if they nerfed it, but its still something we have to deal with.
Hunger was unwanted, unnecessary, and was the update that recieved the most backlash from the community. Why? Because I can't do what I want. Because I need food. Another Minecraft philosophy was that there was no goal. Hunger is a constant, annoying goal, that is always there to be a pain in the ass. It literally extincted anarchy servers, and even most vanilla survival servers now have to give out loads of free food for you to even get started, and even then its no fun, as I can't do what I want when I want IN A SANDBOX GAME.
I'm fine with any update, as long as its features are optional.
