I miss that, too. But they already have PR image problems, so yeah, maybe that wouldn't go over well right now.

You could get away with a lot more during that time, too.

Now everyone can get so worked up and butthurt and offended over anything that mob rules.

I remember the waaaaambuance that was a Halo 2 warthog in medic colors, and Frankie was writing updates.

Good times.

Sadly, the Bungie of today is not the Bungie I loved then.

Yes and no. I don't think the fans are the same either.

If Bungie reverted to the old ways, I think the fans would - after a brief period of being driven to the hospital in our titular waaaaambulance - totally be down with it. I know I would.

I find it very hard to complain about a company that's open and honest, and very easy to complain when I feel like a company is intentionally misleading me.

I haven't felt that way.

What's the majority in a gaming community anyway, those who express themselves on the internet the loudest?

This debate has gone on for a long time. One thing I always respected about Bungie was they trusted their own judgments (made games they wanted to play) while taking community feedback under advisement. As a much bigger fan of republics than straight-up democracies, I can get behind that.

Just because of majority of people believe something (and in this context what constitutes a majority is tenuous) doesn't make it right or good. There's a reason "mob rule" is disparaging.

I didn't mean to say the majority is always right. I especially didn't mean to say the thing you hear the most is the majority opinion. I'm not sure where you even got the majority thing from.
I meant to say there's a big difference between "people complaining" (even if they're getting results) and "mob rule". Mob rule is the kind of thing you see in a riot or a lynching. People complaining is not mob rule.

I'm pretty sure the incorrectness is not the stuff that made people mad, but how those people were treated (the Whaaaaambulance itself). It's pretty disrespectful.

So would you say that's politically incorrect or something else?

What difference does it make what *I* say? This isn't about me - I was just explaining a bit of MacGyver's post that you seemed to have misunderstood. I wasn't puttiing my own judgements in at all.

Well that was the point, I was trying to understand, what he said and what you said.

(That said, I think cheapLEY's right - for the most part, 'politically incorrect' and 'disrespectful' are pretty interchangeable, at least for common internet usage.)

I wouldn't go quite that far, especially not applied to someplace as decent as b.org. People seem to have forgotten what it means (or never learned) but I think most of them are just... misguided? That sounds a bit pretentious... bah.
