We, all of us, color the past with our present. (Destiny)

I think one thing that has changed is the rise of virtually limitless online storage and sharing and social media. Back in The Day, not everyone had the web space to host a few photos much less videos. The places you could discuss things were also somewhat limited to forums set up by people who really loved the game or company.

Now, YouTube and dead cheap HD cameras makes going on video and yelling about something super easy. Reddit will happily host an infinite number of people bitching about something. Our lowly consoles all have built in video capture instead of having us rely on data-based replays (Halo 3/Reach) or a fancy PC with a multi-hundred dollar capture card.

In some ways and in some cases, I think game developers, including Bungie, lose sight of their actual fans and supporters in favor of the masses who are only around because something is new or controversial.
