A plea and a rant (Destiny)

I think the online required thing is here to stay across the board unfortunately. I can feel you too because I recently moved to a new apartment with much sketchier internet, so anything that requires constant connectivity is bollocksed up quite a bit.

The gist of it appears to be that companies are willing to piss off people who have subpar internet because they feel like they will get enough back by preventing piracy. Who knows if it's actually a successful policy money wise but I think that's why it happens.

Well their claim with Destiny is that the other people are an integral part of the experience, and for some modes that's true, but campaign would work just fine without them, and even for other modes it really only makes a difference sometimes. If they had an option for automatic chat (and preferably defaulted to on) for every mode it would be more social and have more of a benefit.
