Being a jerk. (Destiny)
So the first people who object to this are told, "don't worry, Bungie would never do X"
And then the latest people who object to this are told, "it doesn't matter, Bungie already did X"
This has always been my biggest issue with Bungie's (and others of course, but this is DBO) staunchest defenders.
When they first started doing this stuff (way back in D1!) and I was concerned that it could reach this point I was told "Oh but its only minor", "It's not a real advantage", "Slippery slope is a fallacy", "Stop being such a doomsinger".
Now that it has reached this point, it's all "This isn't new", "Why didn't you complain sooner".
Which besides being a fundamentally ridiculous argument (of roughly equal merit to "Its tradition" in terms of poor excuses), I did complain sooner. And you all told me I was overreacting.
