I think it's just a different time. Social and internet culture was different in the Bungie/Halo days. Reddit wasn't really a "thing" yet so fans that wanted to interact had the Bungie forums or sites like HBO. There was a lot of back and forth respect shared. Now people just get online and piss & moan about everything. Why would Bungie want to interact with that?

The coolest fan interaction I've experienced was after they introduced theater mode they held a wallpaper contest. I don't remember who reached out to me afterwards but apparently I was one of the few that designed a wallpaper for his monitor layout and with proper margins. And my arrogance made him laugh, so he sent me a picture of my wallpaper on his computer. (I didn't win the contest [Recon Armor] but I still have this picture and story, and anyone can haz recon now.)

For this reason, I insist that all cat related imaging in Bungie games is made specifically for me. (O_O)

And one time Frankie joined a custom game I was playing around in by myself. He said nothing and left within 30 seconds.

My point though, I think the community has changed more than Bungie has.
