People don't get what it takes to create new stuff (Development)
Hi dear community,
I roughly think that the most of the people that "hate" out there, without any single constructive feedback, about the DLC (or the raid lairs) know what it actually takes to develop such a big ass raid.
Like have you done well coded programming before? Modelling? Animating? Sound effects? Mapping?
I'm not trying to defend this game, it's more that I wanna say that you should think about the people behind the game, in the studios. They're just normal people like you and me and they use their time to develop you guys something to play, have fun and enjoy. And after that they get hated to death with nonsense hating? How would you feel as a developer? And obviously it's gonna cost you something, would you code hundreds of hours, if not even thousands of hours for free?
As a developer myself, I can tell you, it's not easy, it takes a damn lot of time and effort. And after that we'd love a "thank you" instead of a "f**k you".
Not saying you should love the game completely after this, but understand the work that has been put in.
[b]This had to be said:[/b] At least some respect to the developers, designers & co. would be appreciated, instead of all the braindead-hating. Everyone has their opinion, but think about it, before shouting it.
[i]Thank you for your time
Lots of love for the community & the workers

3 Replies@Don Diablo, I get where you're coming from however I'd also like to point out that we are talking about a company with some 750 employees and associated with major gaming development companies like Activision and Blizzard. It's not like people are demanding multiple raids and lots of content (like WoW gets for each expansion) however I think that, if you're going to demand €60 to buy the game and then charge some €30 per expansion then you'd expect at least some sort of decent end-game. With that said, one of the biggest issues I think most people have so far is not the actual amount of the content but rather the choices made on how to spend development - I'm no expert but I'd think that developing the option to pick your own Crucible match type wouldn't be ground-breaking, nor would adding slightly more complex looting items (like set items, for example). I'm sorry but I have no sympathy for Bungie at this stage; they have shown that, as a game developer, they were nowhere near ready to take on such a massive project and would have done better just creating Destiny as a single-player game and focused on that and gave people a more limited but better game to play (like Horizon Zero Dawn).
