I really hate to come off as an ass and respect the amount of effort you went into writing this. But a lot of these points are not correct. You're giving a lot of companies and developers a bit too much credit in comparison. I won't go through them all, but eg. Yeah nintendo are fantastic in their consistent vision at providing quality, you're right, sales suck...but you realise Nintendo have enough capital to keep them in the green for at least 80 years despite poor sales? I'd dare say their probably worth more than Sony's whole division put together now. So nintendo's sales are irrelevant. Bungie has admit fault on several occasions, more than what people choose to notice. True, they won't admit to every screw up, but don't confuse mistakes with false entitlement. Yes, needs dedicated servers, there's no disadvantage to it apart from cost, which shouldn't be an issue. Wait and see i guess. I can see where you're coming from, but a lot of the points are just personal opinions eg. $10 for a book or sparrow whatever, the value of an in-game microtransaction item is only relative to an individual's dedication to the game. People who hate Destiny wouldn't pay a cent for a new raid, people who love it could spend $100 on a shader based on expendable income/outlook towards the game.
