I missed when Bungie talked to us.

I noticed that the moment Joe Blackburn left, Bungie started to be less vocal with the community and especially with the TWID. They just... stopped talking about metrics, behind-the-scenes, ideas they had, etc. and now they're like... every other company ever.

What I loved about Bungie was they were so vocal with the community, they TALKED to us, showed us in-engine stuff, how cutscenes were made, prototypes for weapons, UI designs, etc. It was so unlike every other company who keeps their mouths so zip-tied and you can only gain some minor insight from dev interviews. It made it feel like Bungie CARED about the people who were playing their product, I think its what made us so loyal.

What company shows you how they broke the models to make cutscenes happen, show the sandbox testing ground for new abilities, the famous Swordy, or joined in with memes like Telesto being given to Banshee-44.

Now there's none of that and it feels so... barren, it honestly is a reason why I don't feel trust-worthy to Bungie. Yeah there a company that wants us to spend money, but it gave a certain type of loyalty to the playerbase.
