It gets better... (Destiny)

It's a comparison that everyone here is probably tired of hearing about, but I can't help but think about Warframe.

I saw Steve Sinclair's tweets yesterday about combining the shooting and sword modes of Warframe (which looks fucking awesome), and explaining about why that means the dedicated block button had to be left behind. Bungie would have probably just not even commented on that, much less explained it, and then when questioned about, they'd say it didn't line up with their goals for the game and never talked about it again.

The bigger thing is to look at how many people Steve and Rebecca directly reply to on those tweets.
On an earlier showcase of the new melee, one player expressed displeasure with the change, and Steve replied to him:

Want to be honest with you - we're trying to blend away that 'melee is a mode' and not sure 'pure melee player' is well served with this. It is different and fresh and I will read and digest your feedback and hope you will find something to love in new polish and streamlining.

Clarifying their goals, Bungie.
