Where are you hearing / getting the idea that DESTINY isn't doing well?

'Basically, you're getting tickets, and the color shows the highest-possible quality of item youcould receive. It is not promising purple, only saying that purple is a potential from the item.'

So it's a gachapon system?I KNEW IT! .....This thing is a designed-by-executives mobile f2p game in AAA clothes. Here to suck…

My takeaway from this article is that many people on the internet get angry.

Shoulda been The Flaming Lips.

Ooops. I sold Leoric's Crown.

Such a great episode.

And man - the last bit about 'So... Hey, whichever one of us...' 'Huh?... Oh, yeah, yeah - I'll totally go to yours.'

I'm ruthless as well. I just have little interest in having piles of old consoles and games lying around, even in closet space (a precious commodity in NYC).

'NYT would never publish an article that said 'Readers are Over.''

....i can't help but think that if you really cared about games, you would welcome spirited conversation and debate. You wouldn't dismiss those who seek inclusion, variety, decency, better characters, better writing, and less juvenile bullshit as 'SJWs.'

'dished out by the so-called justice warriors...'

'This led irate fans to, among other things, hack a marketing firm's website. '

Ah, no, I gotcha. I admit I DID misread your initial commnet as 'just hire better writers, problem solved.'

I mean, on the one hand, it's a decent medium for a writer to work in while working towards.... whatever else. Finishing that novel, getting funding for that first film, sending those specs and pilots around,…

What?? It's not perfect!?!? .....Damn it, I only watch perfect things.

Were you pissed about Bayonetta 2 being a WiiU exclusive?
What about RE4 being a Gamecube exclusive back in the day?
Were you pissed that Tropico 5 came to PS4 and PC but not X1?

So what. Exclusives happen.

I'm bummed that Bayonetta 2 is exclusive to WiiU. And that No Man's Sky is 'exclusive' to PS4. These are just creative products.

People need to find more important things to get pissed and angry about.

....or they could now get it on their PS4. Why do options bother you so much?

Maybe.... Maybe there's people out there who HAVEN'T bought Hotline Miami yet!

Well, in the name of brotherhood, camaraderie, and civility, I should clarify then - I don't think video games are pointless. :)
