Vault of Glass Raid Progress (Destiny)
IMO, Bungie's biggest problem has always been a failure to communicate what they're doing. Internally, they seem very focused and organized, but they're not very good at letting the outside world in on their plans. They said the game starts at level 20, but everyone just figured they were in damage control mode after all the negative reviews came out. Anecdotally, a majority of my friends have already given up on this game. That includes people who never played it at all as well as people that played enough to attain level 23. They're not coming back. To me, that represents a disastrous failure to communicate.
If they've been exposed to the negativity from you that we have, then I don't doubt the well has been poisoned for them.
They said the game starts at level 20 before the reviews came out, so I don't know how "everyone" just had the interpretation that you claim they had. Regardless, I find the interpretation depressing and cynical. This "everyone" must be fun at parties.
Effective communication is not about what you say, it's about how other people respond to what you say.
If you're going to criticize their communication, at least be accurate about what the communication was and when they said it. This isn't the first post in which you've incorrectly paraphrased them.
EDIT: It just occurred to me that maybe you were saying that they were trying to pre-empt negative reviews with the "game begins at 20" stuff. I still find that interpretation depressing. And now I think even you say it was a wrong interpretation.
