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.

I hope it was deej and shame on the Cops for not shooting him
-
Why the hell would you do something like that anyways? What if someone were to accidentally get shot and killed? I know lots of us aren't happy with bungie, BUT YOU DON'T PUT THEIR DAMN LIFE AT RISK OVER A GAME!That -blam!-er better be found soon so he can get a taste of reality.
-
Well spoken. The fact that "SWATTING" is even an effin thing absolutely blows my mind.
-
Man, wtf? If you feel like a hippy, go save some whale or the rain forest, then I'll respect you. But this post?! Are you ok, bro? And please, don't speak on my behalf, I feel like my brain cells are commiting suicide...

Edited by DuuJ: 11/8/2014 2:46:17 PMI did it for the lolz. I'm gonna send him pizza to say sorry now. I can't pay for it though.
-
You're pathetic.

[quote]faces up to a year in jail, along with a $5,000 fine.[/quote] A slap on the wrist that will probably be reduced to a bit of community service. Although, I get the feeling this kid would get the deserved punishment one way or another. Gamer justice, lol.
-
Still a better storyline than Destiny.
-
its sad the mature responsible people are the ones apologizing but very well said OP
-
I'm quite capable of expressing my own opinions on any matter I wish them to be known regarding. Yes, the person who did this is a pr!ck and, once found, needs dealing with according to the full rule of law. Anyone who thinks that their opinion of this being a shit game is any justification for such an act, needs to check their priorities and is also a pr!ck...
-
Ok yes bungie and all of them are upsetting fans about what they did with destiny, myself included, but this is -blam!-ed up
-
+ 1000
-
Never heard of swatting till now. Imagine how much that would have sucked, if they broke down the door to get in! All the repair costs.
-
I might think that Destiny is a steaming pile of fecal matter, but even I don't think he really deserved this. Also, please refrain from speaking on behalf of all of us. Just speak for yourself and let others do the same.
-
Next time dont create such a shitty game

-
That ain't cool.... You can look on here and see that I am discontent about the game, but don't attack a man in his home. Go after the product and the company, boycott them if you feel that strongly. But cops? They answer what they believe is a dangerous situation, mistakes can be had. no one wants that on their conscious.

Edited by Xx7sean7xX: 11/8/2014 5:10:28 PMWait, when did we allow this guy to speak for the community? I don't remember voting or seeing such a post about it... Kinda stuck up and full of ass kissing.. And why is the community apologizing... You don't know who did it?
-
I was most likely a spoiled little prick that still sucks on his mommys tit at the age of 16. This generation is full of em. This post is really useless though . Now if you know who did it then that would be useful bit apologizing for another person is pointless
-
How the hell do you know it was a disgruntled fan? Actually it does seem super likely as this is pretty much a gaming specific thing. Still, could be a disgruntled developer. Some coder who thinks the companies gone to shit. Who knows.
-
Hey paid a handsome salary to deal with our complaints so I really don't feel bad for Deej
-
Eat some ass
-
Uh....What is Swatting?
-
All that SWATing is doing will lead to the government shutting down video games completely. It costs a ton of money to call in the swat team, so the tax payers money goes to them, not to the community. They'll have full rights to shutting video games down because it can cause actual harm.
-
I'm not on "bungies side" but as far as humanity goes this was just sick, cruel, disgusting, and really shows where the world is headed. Seriously pull your heads out your asses. There is NO reason for this kind of thing. If someone gets so upset over a video game, they really need to reevaluate themselves. Here come the 2D side scrollers cuz nobody is going to take making games seriously if this keeps up. Hate me for my opinion I really don't care, fact is its people like that that are bringing society down.
