Should Bungie make Luke Smith publicly apologize?
After reading the entire euro gamer interview and the recent Forbes magazine piece release today- hard to see bungie not addressing this soon. Apparently DeeJ has said there will be something better in store for current gamers, but they don't know what yet. They are scrambling to do damage control after this guy made them looks like corporate assholes.
Leave your opinion and comments below!
READ---
An apology is not about Luke Smith, it's about bungie admitting fault. By him apologizing it means Bungie OK the apology and is apologizing trough him to a degree, while them apologizing directly would be ideal, that's not going to happen.
UPDATE ON DLC!!!!!----
Bungie has partnered with Red Bull and now an "Epic Quest" which originally os part of TTK is only accessible if you purchase a special can of Red Bull and get the access code. Otherwise you have to wait until mid-December to play it if you don't buy Red Bull.

Bungie doesn't care about the consumers, only their money.
You now have to purchase 3rd party products in order to play something you will have purchased outright. Where does it end?
Edit- sorry for the grammatical error, should say HE.
Edit--
Why do all you fools keep saying "your sad to get so upset over a few emotes..."
It has absolutely nothing to do with the emotes. It has to do with the principle of respecting your consumers/clientele and not be arrogant enough to blatantly speak about such people as if they are idiots and will buy whatever shit your pushing.
This is 2015 there is no more "it's just a videogame company" or "he's just a designer"
Wrong. He is a part of a major corporate conglomerate and as such anything he says or does in the public eye (and sometimes private) it's open for judgement and criticism. That's just life today.
He gets no pass for being insensitive to his buyers.
Neither does bungie.
It isn't about emotes it's about expectations of a company to its consumers.
I guess the difference in opinions depends if your an adult with a career who understands business or if your a teen or college student. I would be pressed to say most career working adults with families would lean towards the understanding of how there was a fault committed from a business ethics standpoint.
UPDATE****
Luke Smith apologizes and TTK prices are changed....

5 RepliesEdited by Sideswipe: 6/24/2015 2:45:05 PMYes, it sucks that Red Bull is offering a new quest. But that is business, again nothing new. Fact is businesses are always trying to find ways to squeeze money out of consumers, and other companies trying to piggy back off another's success. That's the way of the world today. Don't like it? Don't buy red bull and/or don't play Destiny. [spoiler]Looks like I may have buy a case or 2 of Red Bull. Not for myself, but for work. We don't need any ATM, but never hurts to be well stocked for Red Bull & vodka! [/spoiler]

"Expansions comes with shader, emblem, sparrow, [i][b]and more.[/b][/i] He will more likely than not use that to fill in what the new "rewards" will be. [quote]You now have to purchase 3rd party products in order to play something you will have purchased outright. Where does it end? [/quote] 1. The only requirement is that YOU make the decision to purchase red bull for the purpose of playing content. 2. No, you did not purchase it outright. You purchased a license to play content within the limits Bungie allows under said license.

God you guys need to grow the -blam!- up. Go outside and get your mind right. This shit is so unimportant it's unreal the way you all are reacting over a damn video game. Seriously put some of that effort into your own lives and you will be much better off for it.
-
2 RepliesOh you got to be kidding. Don't you kids have anything better to do with their lives? Like seriously think about it. You think when guys are hanging out with their friends or girlfriend they're thinking "Luke Smith that bastard. He should apologize". No they don't

He doesnt need to apologize. He just needs to give us a good raid and all. I REPEAT. ALL will be forgiven
-
I want him punished like Bart Simpson in the Australia episode.

No, nothing to be sorry about
-
Lol the red bull thing has been known for a while calm down. It's like COD with Mountain Dew and Doritos, this isn't a new practice. If they only cared about your money they wouldn't be changing crap about the game. We'd be getting repeats of the Dark Below but for each enemy race.
-
Floyd, what's your opinion on that?
-
No because I don't jump on the hate train
-
1 ReplyNo, why should he say sorry to all of you? I've seen way worse things said about him anyways.
-
I think it should be his decision. I personally won't be buying TTK for a while.
-
1 ReplyPublic apologies are stupid. It's America therefore you can say what you want. Not his fault fanboys got butt hurt.
-
1 ReplyWhoever picks the last option is scamming themselves. Simple as that.
-
No. If it wasn't for him. Nothing would have changed.
-
6 RepliesLook at the actual interview don't read it. The context will become a lot more clear
-
He is not getting our money personally so no, he doesn't have to, I don't care.

4 RepliesWhen you go buy a car, do you think the salesman/saleswoman genuinely cares how good the car runs? No, they just want your money and to get the car off the lot. That's how business works. You put a smile on and get the customers money.

I don't want apology from him he is a nothing at bungie really he would have to ask permission to apologize probably but still that was unnecessary to say to everyone
-
5 RepliesNo. He's not the head of marketing or pricing. He may be a poor interviewee and an idiot but I think people are getting over excited about nothing.
-
8 RepliesEdited by CHICKENSQUARE: 6/24/2015 12:27:45 AMHe's not PR. He's not in Marketing. He's not part of the Budget Committee. He's not in Sales. He's not even a Community Manager. He's the -blam!-ing raid designer. I require no apology from him to make myself feel better about myself like all of these entitled children with nothing better to do than talk shit.
