I look at it like this: Imagine if you were childhood best friends with a current mega-star, and in your long-time early life friendship with with this person before they were famous, you were their primary source of unconditional love and support, driving them places, always front row, lending them money to get started etc. Now imagine that person finally hits it big, and realizes they don't need you anymore, and gives you the middle finger and tells you they have new friends now... that doesn't feel great does it? I'm pretty sure that's a close to accurate description of how a lot of long time XBOX playing Bungie fans are feeling right now, and you, as well as the entire company of Bungie needs to recognize and be more sensitive to that.

Not really. This is a problem a lot of people have with famous folks. The admiration is one way. You might have supported someone by buying their albums / games / movies since the beginning, but they have never met you nor do they have a relationship with you. The illusory relationship is only flowing from you to them.

Bungie as an entity is not, nor has it ever been, your longtime friend. Only Claude or Miguel could possibly say that, and even that may be a stretch.

I dislike a lot of the decisions Bungie has been making in the past 6 or 7 years, but you can't take that shit PERSONALLY. It's okay to be upset, even pissed off, but it's not an attack on YOU.
