"It's their game" is a viewpoint I completely stand against. (Destiny)

For one simple reason.

They are creating a product that people are paying for. As a consumer, you have the right to expect this product to be a certain thing. Unfortunately, the way game sales work now is that companies treat it as a 'license' to the game, and that you don't have the 'right' to play it if they don't want you do.

That's simply not right. On an ethical level.

There's also a second simple reason.
It's in the field. It's ours. Having the idea be 'It's their game' is what allowed George Lucas to go back and destroy the Original Trilogy.

I agree that I stand against arguing that 'it's their game' for an even simpler reason, which is that this forum exists for us to talk about the game, which includes what we like and don't like. Who the game BELONGS to is irrelevant, it doesn't invalidate anyone's opinion. Just like the George Lucas example, Bungie clearly has the prerogative to make any changes they want, but we're also entitled to dislike those changes.
