I mean, it might seem pricey, but it is what it is. I think he made the situation right. It's honestly on consumers to decide what they will or won't buy at this point.
Not too long ago, I made the argument that "vote with your wallet"...wasn't really a great solution. It's often suggested The problem with that solution, is that the majority doesn't always vote with their wallet when anti-consumer practices are being done. The majority doesn't always keep things in check. The majority sometimes values instant gratification, and takes shitty customer service. That is why we have laws to protect the consumer. Or at least why we should have laws and regulations.
Leaving it 100% up to the consumer does not always work. Because the majority sometimes will keep spending. And just because they are supporting it, doesn't make it right. Or make it so it should exist. Which is why I've always thought people coming together and using their voices, and making loud noise (albeit, not being an unreasonable insane mob) is much more effective.
Because if there is one thing I've learned, companies do not like bad press or PR. They fear it. They almost always fold up quickly once consumers start making noise, and they start to get bad press over it. Why? Because they care about their image. They don't want their image becoming damaged, and eventually the majority starting to accept that image. And that CAN happen. It has happened in the past.
Anyways, that is what I think happened here. I'm glad that people voiced their concerns, and showed Bungie how upset they were. I'm glad that they didn't just "vote with their wallets", since people already lapped that shit up.
