Community engagement. (Gaming)

More than issues with the game, the way Digital Extremes talks to its community is something I wish Bungie would take note of.

Bungie built this fancy twitch studio and they use it twice a year to try and sell the new expansion. Why?

Remember last time? A scandal came up (was it the XP thing?), and they canceled the stream to address the issue in a write up. Why not address the issue in the stream? Because it's harder to ensure a stream is the carefully crafted bullshit you can get perfect in text? Give me something real--use that fancy new studio to actually talk to us, rather than using it for bad marketing.

It's pretty clear Bungie doesn't want to talk. They can't make changes fast enough for a meaningful dialogue to even take place. The way they are making the game just isn't really compatible with what people want in terms of communications.
