Gatekeeping between devs and players (both directions?) feels miserable and hopeless.
For their wellbeing and creative process, I'm sure there's plenty of throttling between what players say about the game, and what is passed to decision-making developers. I'm sure that even polite (intentioned) negative feedback like this post would get very old, very quick.
For this entire content year however, what Bungie says, does, ignores, or affects in their game feels like it's deliberately disconnected.. from both retail and player-subjective experience. Some Bungie releases read as if they're related to different games entirely.
Bungie does not need player consent to conduct ivory tower reign and proclamations. But when the word and will from on high misses the mark by this much (over and over), how should players not feel scorned?
The stiff, impersonal trend in how Bungie talks [b][i]at[/i][/b] their players and acknowledges virtually nothing is causing serious damage to my favorite ship. Something is awry and has been since we left drydock. Talk to us.

- Tea thing was weird but I love the Saint x Osiris vibe. I love even more that it's driving shitty bigots away from my favorite game
