I'm currently seeing a lot of people in the destiny 2 community unironically saying that ACTIVISION, the company that is notorious for overworking employees was exposed for protecting sexual predators and doing nothing about the mistreatment of its employees, is better than Bungie cause "at least they gave us content". I made a comment calling this out in some yt replies, and had people say "stop defending a multi billion dollar company Bungie doesn't care" whilst failing to see the irony in the fact that they're the ones giving credit to the company that protected abusive workplace culture. People really prioritize "more content" over the safety and wellbeing of workers but then have the audacity to call you a corporation defender for calling them out on it. There's also people acting like Activision was consumer friendly in any sense of the term. Bungie absolutely should be called out for its increasingly non consumer friendly practices (raising the prices of expansions and seasons as well as the whole dungeon key thing being the main issues) but calling ACTIVISION of all companies consumer friendly, even in comparison, is not only wrong it's straight up disingenuous. I feel like I'm going insane trying to be reasonable in this community with takes so wrong on so many levels like "Bungie is worse than Activision cause Activision gave us more content and was more consumer friendly" floating around. People are really forgetting how truly despicable Activision/Blizzard was exposed for being just cause it's popular to shit on Bungie right now. We do not need to be propping up companies that are known for treating employees like shit and protecting sexual predators in order to criticise Bungie. It's insane that this needs to be said, but this community with every passing day just keeps proving that it values being angry over being helpful, so much that it's stooped to the level of acting like Activision was any better for Destiny 2 or Bungie despite us knowing how bad Activision really was and how deep that awfulness was, and knowing that it had been a big issue for a while. Do not ever brush aside or forget about what they did, cause I assure you their victims absolutely won't forget it either. And their victims surely wouldn't take too kindly to seeing gamers prioritize "more content" over the potential safety of workers. I apologize in advance if I worded anything confusingly but I'm so incredibly disappointed with this community and frustrated that there's nothing I can say to open people's eyes up to how harmful people are being.
