"I haven't touched Halo 5 and Destiny is to blame" (Destiny)

Every game developer, film maker, author, and artist worries about how their efforts will be received. But insecurity is absolutely not the reason or main reason Jason Jones said what he said. His quote was spoken in regards to finding more ways to entertain given the time and money limits of game development.

If that were true, then Destiny would have been made very differently… without being exploitative. These "skinner box' elements are tricks. You wouldn't have to play tricks if you were confident in your product.

You go from being unfairly negative to being willfully and maliciously dishonest when you refuse to acknowledge that Destiny was designed to be fun by people with good intentions. The game isn't perfect. Some of its systems interact poorly with some players' schedules and play styles. But you aren't being remotely realistic in your criticism here.
