"I am so disappointed in Bungie right now" (Destiny)

They already have the Xbox community behind them, all they need now is the Playstation fans to jump on board. To put it into a way that you may better understand, you can't build a giant (world dominating) slingshot with only half a frame.

So this is where I keep getting stuck. I agree with much of your post, but it is this concept that really creates the conflict for me. In effect, the statement above has Bungie assuming support from those who have supported them for a long time. In a way, this can be viewed as punishing loyalty.

Secondly, the hot trend right now is PS over XBox. Bungie's PS bias could be viewed as (again) abandonment of a loyal fan base.

Let me try to work this out...Bungie doesn't owe XBox any loyalty, but isn't there some sort of responsibility to loyal customers? Some, I guess, but of lesser priority when survival (and a bigger fan base, and money) is in the conversation.

I think the crux of the issue for me is this: Bungie values me, specifically, less than it does any PS owner. It's apparent in every press release they issue, in every PS-exclusive perk.

They can say it isn't like that, but it is exactly like that. By assuming my loyalty, by heavily penalizing me, they are, in effect saying "we'll take your money because we know you will give it to us, no matter what we do".

Am I nuts? Should this not bother me? Should it bother me way less? Is there no real issue here? I am asking honestly. I am about to cut off my nose to spite my face...
