Sounds pretty serious to me. (Destiny)

Cody asked me to bookmark his promise.

When I said that, I did not ever expect Bungie to actually do it.

So... you lied? You were "just joking?" What's your story gonna be?
Pro tip: Try only saying things you mean... It'll keep you out of ridiculous situations like this.

I distinctly recall them promising they wouldn't ever add microtransactions.

Got a link? A shred of evidence that this was ever said? I've seen you mess up direct quotes. I've seen you reference bullet points in change logs that turned out to never have existed. Why should we trust you now? Especially given that even when you promise things you don't actually mean them?

At this point I think it's fair to ask you if you really distinctly remember a promise by Bungie to not do microtransactions or if you're just saying that to play up the controversy. Because, frankly, I don't believe a thing you say around here anymore. And I don't think you do either.

OH, and you've never changed your mind, realized you held the wrong perspective, got caught up in a moment? Never once in your life have you gone back on something you said? EVER?

Is Cody going to have to deal with community harassment forever for his post, or is anyone here a grown up?

Also, I don't think Bungie promised no microtransactions ever, either. I'm pretty sure they did a good PR dance around the topic without saying anything definitive. If there is a "none ever" quote, it was probably an accident and contradicts other interviews that were done around the same time.
