Thoughts on Cozmo's hiring.

Fine with CM from Reddit

[b]Note:[/b] Before I go into this, I'd like it to be known that I don't have anything against Cozmo. I've never met him, and I've only heard good things about him from some friends who have met him. This is about the circumstances of his hiring. ----- Ok, now with that out of the way, it's about to get saltier than the Atlantic in here. When reading through his introduction, the phrases that really stuck out to me were "Destiny community", and "I come from the Destiny subreddit." I'll break this down seperately as to why they bother me. As RagnarokUnbound pointed out to me, Bungie never used the term "Halo Community." We were, and always have been, the Bungie Community. We are the Seventh Column. Cozmo's coming from a place that pretty unanimously likes Destiny. The subreddit doesn't have to deal with #Gaming and #Offtopic, that, for the former, is indifferent to the game, and in the case of the latter, completely dislikes the game. This website is a multi-purpose platform for communication and interaction between people. I'm in 15 groups, and none of them are Destiny-centric. We may have come here for one reason or another (mostly Halo: Reach), but we stay for each other, and not Destiny. "I come from the Destiny subreddit" is the second part of this problem. It comes off as if they're proud to ignore candidates from Bungie.net. There are a few employees that I can think of right now that came up through [i]this[/i] community, that understand the dynamics, and would have made better CM's, and that line rubs it in that this website is getting overlooked by its owners [i]again[/i], in favor of a place full of people that most of us have never heard of. So now, we're stuck with someone that has no idea what we, as Bungie.net users want, because how could he? r/destinythegame doesn't have groups, so how could he know that Bungie gutted the features out of them? Reddit doesn't have titles, so how could he deliver Mythic status back if he doesn't know what it is? Maybe I'm cutting him short, but it's irritating to me, as a long-time user of this website, to see DeeJ pick his personal friends from TTK, and a guy who run a subreddit, over someone that's paid their dues to the Column.

  • I'm neutral here. Nobody hired could bring back the former glory or come near it. If the men and women in charge would allow it I believe it would have happened already. Unfortunately I believe the higher powers around here won't allow these things because it would be off putting to the destiny members seeing as they'd initially be outcast. I'm going to reserve judgment but I'm not holding high hopes for anything to change too much around here.
