"The time I tried to ruin Halo 2" (Destiny)

This was a really interesting article, but I wish it had gone one step further and discussed the fact that there was a profoundly negative reaction to the fact that there were no custom lobbies. Bungie's forums were overrun with complaints (as they remain today) and custom lobbies remained an oft requested feature for years.

The article makes it seem like once the game was released, everyone saw the light and loved matchmaking, but that was not the case. Faced with that negative reaction to the real, actual game, Bungie still stuck to their guns, which I think is the even more interesting part of this, as it informs their behavior today.
