Bungie's reveal: a disservice to Destiny

I'm also kind of frustrated with Jones too, though, for not realising how that line would be misinterpreted.

Is this the quote you're talking about?

now nobody plays shooters the way they used to play them before Halo ’cause nobody wants to

…because I agree, and I think anyone getting wound up by it is deluding themselves. Prior to Halo's arrival almost every PC FPS games had manual saving, a machine-gun > shotgun > pistol weapon upgrade flow and dull, mostly deathmatch-based multiplayer. Nobody's releasing FPS games like that any more because they'd be a disaster in the marketplace, as the audience has evolved and refined its tastes where FPS games are concerned.

I dunno, maybe that's not the quote that's caused such consternation? I'm finding it hard to see what's controversial about it…
