Fair enough.
Instead of working on Halo 3, overseeing the development of a PC port of Halo 2, overseeing work on a Halo movie, creating several closets worth of Halo swag (including posters, fluid containers, t-shirts, school gear, pens, a long-lived action figure line and more), and instead of making a website that acts as a link between the fans and the developers, an array of forums for discussing Bungie related topics, and giving the fans the ability to run their own customizable groups for their own discussion needs...
We'll write a "thank you" note.
Please. Don't you think you're being a little greedy? You may think it doesn't sound like much to ask us to write some kind of formal "thank you," but what you've done is dismiss everything we do for the fans because it doesn't feel enough to you like we worship you. It's actually fairly insulting, if you ask me, to just shrug off map packs, contests, news articles, and the like because you want some grovelling letter of appreciation.
So let me get this straight. You guys don't want to take the time to make a few stories here and there to thank your fans (I mean, afterall Shishka, you wouldn't be working for Bungie in Texas right now if it wasn't for the fans making Bungie who they are today), but you will take the time to make really stupid stories that nobody cares about like the Penny Arcard Expo and the, well whatever the hell that is. You won't make a few stories thanking the fans but you'll make really bad Weekly Updates that make us wonder why we even bother going to this site? Ah, cool. That makes so much sense. Let us create stories nobody cares about, that'll make the fans happy! Ya, good plan.
I mean, don't get me wrong Bungie is doing a great job, but so are the fans. People thank you guys every day. I'm sure you guys, and yes Shishka even you, get messages every day thanking you for your work. I find it funny how in some of the Weekly Updates there's a lot of letters from people who got banned, yet you don't show the good messages sent. Why is that? How come you guys don't show us the messages from people thanking you instead of the people apologizing for what they did? Ya, that's another good idea. Get a lot of good messages from people thanking you guys, but then only show off the bad ones. What a good plan that is.
I don't know. Do whatever you guys want. Keep making your stupid stories that nobody cares about. I mean, jeez, it would take so long to make a story here and there thanking your fans, but apparently it takes virtually no time at all to create a story about the Penny Arcade Expo. Idiots.
