I keep hearing Destiny is an Online Game. Fine.
Yet please for the love of that's good can Bungie please not FORCE online connection
"What do you mean Dude?"
If your online goes off. If your connection is bad. You should STILL be able to play this game. You should not HAVE to be on a connection of any sort to play this.
"But Dude. Everyone has online. Tis the future"
I'de agree if online was 100 free and easy. But it isn't. 100% of players don't all have online. And forcing Online doesn't add anything to the game. It subtracts and alienates people. Worse off it makes players feel forced and unfree.
"But it's the future. SIngle Player is boring. Online ALL DA WAY"
Nope.

Razer's configuration software has been moved to the cloud and you essentially have to login to a service to use your device in its full functionality. I trust Bungie though. The always online trend started as an anti-piracy thing, but I think Bungie is utilizing it to define a genre in this case. I.e. the game can't exist in any functionality without being constantly online. edit: also your third person references to yourself quotes are quite funny
