Absolutely (Destiny)
It does. Watch any of the interviews about Destiny 2. They constantly talk about Destiny as a game they play every night and how that strongly affects the development process. They care about this stuff just as much as we do.
There are either two possibilities:1. You are right, and the people making the large scale decisions at Bungie simply have poor taste. It's possible they like toxic investment systems.
2. You are wrong, and they are including these portions of the game precisely because they hook you, yet make the game worse.
I will be much more receptive to this idea when Bungie makes a game that has no grind, manipulation, or investment elements.
3. They have different tastes than you, and Cody isn't always right :-p
I think most of the people on the forum would agree that most of the decisions since launch have improved the game not made it worse. And as usual Cody, you need to learn that there isn't a universal truth of what makes games good.
