On criticizing your favorite game company (Destiny)

What everyone else said, except for Cody, because ODST is awesome.

Critical discussion can be great for the audience, as it allows you to discover what elements and aspects you may love out of a piece so as to guide you to other books, games, movies, etc.

It can be especially helpful for creators, obviously. :)

Sadly though, I find the internet does not have much of this kind of helpful discussion. Instead, it's overflowing with cynicism, masked as critiques. A lot of people like to impress their opinions on others, they want to feel validated in their beliefs by trouncing those that differ from them, or they just want to vent frustration.

Because of this sheer mountain of negativity that grows everyday, I find I have to be more positive just to spite it. In an age of cynicism, the contrarian has to be a optimistic asshole.
