The thing that bothers me the most about this interview... (Destiny)

by Funkmon , Tuesday, June 23, 2015, 09:15 (3248 days ago) @ Miguel Chavez

I don't want to be associated with a bunch of needy whiners as the core audience. It's embarrassing.

Someone told me about this part of your reply a minute ago, and I had a eureka moment hearing him say it.

DBO is great because we're generally more moderate and more adult than, say, Reddit, or other sites, and I loved that there wasn't a bunch of entitled bitching about prices or collector's edition content, and have said so plenty of times since Reddit started doing it.

I couldn't put my finger on what I felt when I saw this stuff here at first. It wasn't like "Oh, another shit on Destiny (despite the fact that I play it constantly) thread that takes up the entire page" it was like "Oh, DBO. You've turned into Reddit with longer words and somehow even more entitlement."

What I felt was embarrassment. Thanks for putting that feeling into a word.
