there's definitely something fishy with bungie these days.

after canning marty, and now alienating the folks that put them in their current state of prominence (face it, if the xbox had tanked, bungie would've vaporized), i'm not too excited anymore.

I don't have to face that, and you don't either unless you have inside information about Microsoft planning to close Bungie if their game and/or console didn't work out.
I honestly don't understand this idea having some debt to them to Xbox owners being held by people I assume are adults. Yes, we supported them, and we got games in return, and DLC, some it free, even. I guess it's this buddy-buddy feeling people get? I can see how Bungie might have brought that on themselves, at least. I don't know of any other company that straight-up says they love you. I'm sure most people have the maturity to know what that really means, but after years, and with many people getting into them in their teens, some even before that, maybe the interaction and the statements about the community being awesome and essential and how they're literally loved, maybe that did something.
