Yep.
No argument here.
Edit: I think Bungie’s biggest problem is the success of Halo. Because they did one thing brilliantly, they believe they can do everything well. They see themselves as experts.
The Division 1 was Massive’s first AAA game, so they were more willing to admit to not knowing and be open to learning.
There is a very famous Zen aphorism:
[i]In a beginner’s mind there are many possibilities. In an expert’s mind there are few. Never lose your beginner’s mind.[/i]
Bungie lost their beginner’s mind years ago, and as a result struggles to learn anything new. Because they discount anything that challenges whatever it is they already believe.
It’s why the Investment Team always treats us like we don’t [i]understand [/i] how cores are supposed to work.
Because they just can’t accept that we do understand but just feel they were a horrendous idea.
