Personal Responsibility. (Destiny)

We, here, and the Destiny community have been over all this before. I think the part that actually annoys me most is that it feels like Bungie, or casinos, are handed most or all the responsibility for someone buying Eververse items or gambling. Things like, “ It’s like telling a gambling addict to just stop gambling, as if that’s easy.” get thrown around.

I disagree with that.

I think the player or gambler should shoulder most of the responsibility. In exchange for generally not telling them how to live their life or spend their money, I pretty much expect them not to blame others if they make choices that they know will harm their health or finances.

That’s kinda it.

If you want freedom to do what you want, you should take responsibility for your own actions. Yes! Even if companies spend untold millions to convince you to do something against your interests.

That doesn’t mean we can’t also point out companies doing bad things. But we need to keep things more in perspective. Especially in terms of something as begin and user-initiated as someone buying a returnable item from Eververse.
