You clearly don't get my point (Destiny)
So... I can infer that you don't think Bungie doing that is good either then? Or is this different?
If you're asking if I'd answer the same if your question had been "do you think it's a good thing that Bungie is doing that?" (where "that" is "consciously manipulating its audience to sell more product") - sure. I would.
I don't think it's a BAD thing that they're doing it - in truth, I don't really care that they're doing it. I think it's the standard way of doing things, and I think MOST sellers (of ANYTHING) try and manipulate their audience to sell more product. (I'm not upset about beer companies doing it, either.)
In short - I'm pretty apathetic about it. I know it's happening, in the abstract I'd be fine if it weren't happening, but it doesn't really affect me in any real way. (I don't feel like I play more than I want to, if that's what you were getting at.)
