In Response To: Re: You need some perspective. (DHalo)

: 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.

All that aside, bruce still seems to be making it about one issue. That's my mistake. My initial post made it all about the X's. That was stupid on my part when it was a number of things. I've already gone into plenty of detail on it, and if bruce didn't read that, oh well, that's my mistake and I can't blame him. He's right. Getting mad because the menu changed is ridiculous. If this were about a single feature or two and going off because the features were changed and took forever to get put back in, that's silly, stupid, synonyms. bruce apparently doesn't seem to realize, potentially due to not playing multiplayer all that much, that this restaurant has more than just a menu problem. It's more than just a single thing. You don't quit a game because of one thing, and you don't rage quit a restaurant because of one menu item. But if bruce thinks I'm that irrational, again, my original post is mine to take the blame for since I initially acted as if it was about the one item. That's all on me.

: 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?

Many different ways. You handled it by just sort of disappearing. I handled it vocally. Others make halo4.isnotcanon.net (or start the entire site thing in response to displeasure at Reach). Others clearly handle it with more maturity than I have or others have. It's not an easy situation, investing over a decade in a franchise and then seeing that franchise turn into whatever it's turned into (and just referring to multiplayer, I'd say "broken" and "incomplete" sums up my thoughts). Time will tell if they can repair the damage, but I'm definitely not a satisfied customer and I still don't feel they deserve thanks for fixing a few things here and there kinda sorta.
