So let me get this straight: How you spend money, has no influence on economics? If we keep giving our money (which is our support) to companies without them proving they deserve it, consumers will always be at a disadvantage. It won't be fixed with this game, it won't be fixed on the next. The only way to make companies listen, or change, is with our wallets. Simply paying your taxes does not mean you understand how the world works.

  • Exactly. The OP doesn't have a clue what he's talking about and clearly doesn't understand a free market economy. Look what just happened to United Airlines over dragging that dude off the plane as an example. Their stock plummeted and they lost millions in revenue in a couple days, and now they are doing all sorts of stuff to try to get customers back. That can easily happen with any company, even Bungie.

  • Which is why I bought the stock, they aren't going anywhere and I will bank on the idiots who panicked and sold it over the plane incident. That being said an those security guys were rough as hell!

  • It went down 1.1%. Not really a great opportunity unless you can buy shares in volume. You're better off buying oil futures.

  • Good luck with that venture but I think this is the beginning of the end for United. They have been going down the toilet, service wise, for years compared to the other major airlines. They were already bleeding before this happened. They will swirl around the toilet bowl for a few more years until some other airline buys them out and most stockholders will eat a shit sandwich. Yea they -blam!-ed that dude up. I laughed so hard I almost cried because of the noises he was making, but I'm a sick person. He sounded like a pig being attacked.

  • Name a mmo released in the last year that did so without a preorder.

  • This isn't a discussion about if a game has or has not been on a preorder list. It is about the fundamental truths and basic economics. Why did preordering start? Why is it still a thing?

    I'm sure one reason it started was to make sure they knew how much to expect on launch day, which should be he busiest day of the video game.

  • It's a way of showing investors that they can invest in a product launch

  • And it stuck because of people "throwing money at the screen" So if money is what drove us to this point, why cant money get us out? In the end, how we use money matters.
