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.

Unless you are the perpetrator of the crime, you have NOTHING to apologize for. 2. You are not in a personal relationship with Bungie, you are a customer, they are a vendor. You give them money for a game that you then play. That's it... that's the extent of your relationship with them so there is, again, nothing to apologize or feel bad about if you aren't the one who committed the crime. Bungie is a company... the employees don't read these forums and go 'ohhh how sweet, this guy apologized to us all on behalf of everyone'. The employees, do their work, get their checks and go home... they don't give 2 sh*ts what anyone on here thinks or says. 3. This one is probably the most important point.... you do NOT speak for the community, only yourself and posts like this make you look like a giant brown-nosing fool. If that's the impression you are shooting for then mission accomplished.
