I disagree, it took them a year to fix the security bug after countless posts on the forums.Vrex360 said:Bungie, they talk and listen to their community when they ask questions and they give answers. So often their choices in design and balancing had the players enjoyment as the top priority and they worked to make their games as fun and balanced as possible. They've made a lot of upgrades and as I said they really connect with their fanbase.
That's why I like Bungie.

I would have to agree... I love them.Vrex360 said:Bungie, they talk and listen to their community when they ask questions and they give answers.

I'm not saying they don't like their jobs. I'm sure they do and that in itself is admirable.The_root_of_all_evil said:Unlike, say, Tale of Tales(The Path), Media Molecule(Little Big Planet) or Number None Inc.

Games designers are almost certainly games players and WANT to give back to the community. As long as you can keep the sharks like Langdell, Kotick and others out of the pot, people like Gabe Newell will give back to the community because he actually likes them. Listen to the Orange Box's Developer Commentary sometime to see how much they work on it.
Then they really can't win against that argument, can they?GonzoGamer said:I still think that every bit of "fan service" they provide is there to make them money.
Agreed. They listen to their fans and it helps them to improve their games.deathsong17 said:Insomniac, great relations with their fans.
Well, yes. All companies are. That's how you stay alive in a marketplace. But having the ability to have a good relationship with your fans helps with making games that people will buy and can even be pleasant as a bonus. Just because someone wants to make money doesn't mean they can't still be good people.GonzoGamer said:Don't fool yourself.
They're all out for money: as much as they can grab.
