I think this perception that Bungie is arrogant is behind the blowback that I perceive in some of the reviews.

Hubristic, not arrogant. They seem like pretty grounded guys and gals internally, but they don't communicate very well with the public, and that's their hubris.

I don't want to come off like I'm attacking Bungie personally, but structurally they have some fundamental problems as a studio. It's nobody's fault.

As far as reviewers go, they're just evaluating the game as it exists now. They aren't being unfair to Bungie. Yes, Bungie has made promises to the effect that the game will be continuously updated, but they are only promises. As fans, those promises hold more weight here than they do to Joe Schmo at Polygon or GameSpot.
