I didn't know that people were this bitter with Bungie for choosing the PS4 over the XBO. |
Well, when you support a studio for so long, buying all the limited/legendary editions (costing up to $150) on day 1, and then all of a sudden, the studio goes multi-plat (this isn't the part I'm upset about) and then favors an alternative console with exclusive content and earlier beta access and mentions that platform more frequently in their statements, it's a bit difficult not feeling a bit bitter.

Yeah, I felt betrayed by Bungie as well. Back when I had plans of going to college to become a game designer my dream was to one day work at Bungie, they were my favorite game designer by far. I bought the collectors editions of the Halo games, bought all the map packs, I did everything I could to support them. And then they go and betray their fans on Xbox by making PS4 the primary platform and giving them earlier beta access. I'm not mad enough at Bungie to boycott Destiny, but I do hope that Titanfall and Halo 5 beat it in sales or at least reviews/awards.

Wait... So you're mad because they wanted to do something other than Halo, cattering to a broader audience?
You wanted to continue your gaming life, and in 30 years, play Halo 23 still being made by Bungie? Really guys... This is some real childishly entitled behaviour.

No, when did I say that I didn't want them to move on to something other than Halo? I was perfectly fine with them handing Halo off to 343i and using their creative talents on a new series. What me and so many other Xbox fans are mad about is Bungie snubbing them by making PS4 their primary platform, and they have every right to be mad at Bungie after supporting them for so many years.

Deals were made. So? It's not like the Xboxes won't get Bungie games. For all we know, the "exclusive content" for the PS platforms will be timed.
As for betraying their fans... Bungie has been a second party since 2007. They didn't own whatever they were creating with Microsoft. Until they signed a contract with Activision and stopped making Halo games. Since they're now fully third party, it was up to whatever publisher and manufacturer to sign deals with them. Seems like MS didn't feel like they needed them anymore. Since Bungie did created their cashcow... Now, tell me, who left who behind?
