It doesn't as far as Bungie or Activision's whatever with a Beta is going. I've provided no actual thoughts of my own on it. Just all the personal comments and belittlement others seem to be making that is being directed places. But go ahead and point out my thoughts on a Beta or its timeframe or anything actually pertaining to this topic beyond DLC, if you'd like. I'd love to be made aware of my own unstated thoughts.

You're claiming to be an impartial referee, but I think you're making some bad calls. And maybe since the rhetoric has died down it might be good to let it stay down and not spin people's words into something worse than they are.

I'm not one to belittle or take delight in other people's unhappiness. There may be some people like that here, but I'm not one of them. Based on my interactions with Stephen, I don't think he is either. I don't understand the level of anger, and I expressed that, and I've apologized twice now for doing so a bit too colorfully. I don't think a third apology is necessary, yet maybe you think so because you're still calling out my rhetoric from days ago. I ask you as someone who has enjoyed your company face to face, can you spare some grace here, and let some of this go?

I don't think a third apology is necessary either, but I think you said something and it's being used as an example. Just as anyone can use my original post as an example of overreacting, regardless of any subsequent calming down that both of us have done.

Stephen's comments can be interpreted exactly as Avateur said, although maybe that's not how he meant it. Or maybe it is. It just comes off, to me, like he's acting like he's above the whole situation and those involved in discussing it.

"Hey, everyone should have seen this coming, it's your fault for not being accommodating to Bungivision's garbage, I don't even know why you want all this stuff that I'm getting and you aren't."

Lack of content parity isn't something to ignore or justify on behalf of the publisher/developer--it's just bad. Whether it's platform exclusives or pre-order bonuses, it's just bad.

So far, all of the content seems to be timed, which is good--the situation could be much worse. But it could also be much better. It should be much better.

It might not bother some people here, especially those that are unaffected, but I just wish Avateur would stop pretending not to have a bias. It's so obvious, dude.
