Deej, about last night...
Deej,
I'd like to take this moment to apologize to the Bungie Exec who was victimized in the SWATting incident. It was a cruel, selfish, stupid thing to do and whoever did it deserves much more punishment than they will likely receive. I absolutely hope you ban the perpetrator from your games for life.
It seems like Bungie has been the target of a great deal of flak and hate on the forums since Destiny dropped, and as community liaison you've definitely been at the center of a lot of it. That's unfortunate, and doubly unfair. We as a community of gamers tend to become so passionate about our experience that we allow ourselves to turn into entitled brats who abuse developers at every turn, forgetting how excited we were to play the game and how much fun we have doing so. It's a sad consequence of our instant gratification based culture. We forget that a game, much like movies or books, won't please everyone all the time. We also tend to discard the fact that we didn't do the years of work it took to make the game, and that we weren't there for the struggle of creating something new from nothing at all.
Once again, I apologize, Bungie. I'm sorry we've been so rough on you. I'm sorry we keep giving Deej a hard time. To the Exec this happened to, I apologize both to you and to your family for the distress this obviously must have caused.
And to whoever did it, f*** you, a**hole.
Edit: removed "on behalf of the community". Didn't realize that phrase would be a hot button issue for some people. I was just trying to do something nice on the forums, and I don't have much experience on here so I'm not sure what's taboo and what isn't. My bad.

You can speak for me. Who ever did this has a weak grasp on reality.

4 RepliesEdited by l MGW l: 11/9/2014 8:56:37 AMI will not apologize for all the flak that I or any of us have given them or this shell of what was supposed to be a great game. That being said, it is unfortunate that one of the developers was attacked. They don't deserve THAT kind of retaliation. Simply boycotting the sequel should do the trick for me. Bungie really needs to reflect about this scenario though. When was the last time a game developer was attacked over a game not delivering on its promises? I mean even simple mechanics like the ability to go wherever you're looking at were left out. No one deserves to be attacked over something as silly as a video game, but Bungie is the first company I have ever heard of this happening too and that speaks volumes to me, and it should to you as well.

Speak for yourself.

White knights everywhere.

We love ya Deej

Nice words but that's not the proper use of entitled. It's the misused media version of the word to create a negative connotation.

Damn, that's messed up.

priceless, just priceless...

It was you wasn't it HopeRidesWest?

Apologist apologising

18 RepliesWhy are you apologizing? Did you call SWAT? If not you owe no one an apology. Just because some moron does something stupid that happens to play the same game as you does not mean you owe an apology. This is like that SJW bull shit saying all gamers are sexist assholes because of a few morons. Stupid people do stupid things and if you feel the need to apology every time someone does something stupid your going to do a lot of apologizing. Personally I would like to offer my condolences to the Bungie Exec who was swatted.

Does that mean Deej now gets Fate of all Fools ?
-
Some peoples butthurt level is over 9000... totally a good idea to swat people. Who ever came up with that crap can suck a bag of dicks
-
Whoever did that is a jackwagon who deserves to spend time rotting in jail. My the police find him. And may he resist arrest.

1 ReplyBullshit. We all know they were randomly teleported there by Atheon

1 Replylol at the title, is he meeting guys in public restrooms again? xD but seriously, did the police get anything good from the raid? probably going to have to go back 1000 more times.

After they raid the house they only get a sparrow ascendent shards and chatterwhite
