Destiny - A guideline of how not to treat your fans

Bungie's, not really an MMO, FPS game Destiny have been around for some months now. And with a great number of players, the community have given the game hard critique from the very first beta. It turns out that Bungie had kicked their main writer for the game a year prior to release, and decided to still go with the set release date.

That was probably the first big, but not last of their mistakes in making of Destiny.

Kicking the person responsible for the plot may be the right thing to do, scrapping most parts of the story and the lore, only to make the lore occur in small texts that can be accessed via the app. Needless to say, this is why the story is so bland and that upset many fans.
Instead of fixing this, and adding more story elements to the game via DLCs, there are rumors about a sequel to the game, because you know... Money.

But who need lore in an FPS game with levels and numbers? And the story mode takes you to level 20 if, from there you had to grind a good deal before being able to get into the more fun and challenging content, because after level 20 you no longer got experience and instead have to get better gear to give you "light" which gives you level.

Some players found a fast way to grind gear, which still took a good few hours when it was optimized, Bungie saw to the issue of these players and killed the so called Loot Cave, for better or worse.

Just this week, their first DLC, The Dark Below, was released. And if you own a Xbox One, you will only get about 66% of it until fall next year. You still have to pay the same price of course, because money. This was Bungie's decision on partial exclusiveness to the PS4.

Now, you might think that you don't want to pay $20 for that that one new strike mission, a raid and three multiplayer maps. But if you don't, you also can't play the old strike missions, nor get any tokens needed to buy the best gear in the game. So if you don't have the DLC, don't play, or at least not until Bungie decide to fix this, which isn't very likely.
