On criticizing your favorite game company (Destiny)

Being able to accept and parse criticism is the sign of any good being, organisation, boss, enemy and friend.
We all make mistakes, big and small, we all do things that appeal to some and not others, often unintentionally or unknowingly so.

So yes, criticising your favourite anything is cool in my book. It's that line of being ignorant and insensitive I.. feel unsure about.
Even earlier today I posted on GAF about how I pondered if 343 should abandon the attempt to replicate traditional Halo and merge new mechanics into it, in favour of going for something wildly different, only carrying forward the Universe, thereby avoiding the media criticism of being too similar and the "can't do it right" sentiment of my crew. [Of course it would open a whole new Pandora's box, but that's an armchair development post for another day]
But I quickly erased it, for the manner in which I said it was too blasé and selfish for me to be ultimately be comfortable with.
