You often hear that even the people who play Destiny for hours on end every day will complain about how bad it is. People still play it and keep buying it though. They recommend it to friends talking about how it's bad but it'll get fixed, and it's getting patches. There's even a large portion of the game's audience that will fight you if you claim the game is just a complete disappointment, despite them not liking other games of the genre or better games in said genre.

My personal theory was that the audience had been conditioned to like it, and with the recent comments from Dave Anthony on using Marketing to brainwash people into liking games before release, and my experiences with college level marketing classes, I think it's the most solid theory one can come up with.

So do you really like Destiny or have you been trained to like it?
