: Accepted expectations for a restaurant, sure. But you're only entitled to
: what the restaurant offers for the price you pay. There may be a grey area
: when it comes to etiquette (thus the tip), but otherwise you pay, and you
: get what you pay for.
: Here, the restaurant decided to serve peas instead of broccoli in a dish only
: listed as 'vegetable' (not a great example, but you'll get what I mean).
: Customer isn't "entitled" to broccoli, but they were under the
: impression they'd get broccoli because last time they came the vegetable
: they got was broccoli.

: Customer complains vehemently about the peas, provides reasoning as to why,
: and asks for broccoli (note the restaurant has zero obligation to
: provide it). The server takes humbly peas away and returns with broccoli -
: because hey, it's good to have a happy customer.

: Customer proceeds to give the server the finger and enjoys the broccoli
: anyway.

: umm....

I think it might be more like we're being served a Halo platter, which has always been of similar or greater value every time we get it, usually varying very little in the food served on the plate. This time, a great many people found what was served to be of significantly less value and of significant difference from the previous times we've been served this plate. It is of course a question of value to the individual person. But once again, if this is the only place to get this dish, I don't know HOW I would react to this type of change.

In terms of Halo, I've stopped playing Halo 4 much sooner than any Halo game and have been less involved here on these forums. I'm not defending Avateur's reaction and not condoning it, and is not how I've handled it. But I feel that the handling of this situation is an awkward matter because for those of us who desperately wish to keep things as they were to some degree, how do you handle it?
