Destiny: The Taken King’s creative director has apologised for coming across “like an Asshat” during a recent interview.
“Anyone who knows me knows I can be sarcastic,” Luke Smith explained in a post inside the Bungie Weekly Update. “Anyone who remembers podcasts I’ve done knows that I can be pretty blunt, and anyone who’s watched me in a ViDoc knows I’m pretty unpolished. However, most of you don’t know me.
“Reading my interview with Eurogamer and imagining it came from some random developer of a game I love – that random developer looks like an Asshat.
“But that Asshat was me – and those words rightfully anger you. I’m sorry.”
One of the biggest issues fans had with the interview was that it seemed as if the studio’s focus was only on new players, not the millions of people who have supported the game from day one. This, Smith says, is not true.
“My words made it sound as if Bungie doesn’t care about their most loyal fans,” he wrote. “We do care. We are listening. And we will make it right.”
In order to put things right, digital content from The Taken King Collector’s Edition will also be available separately – but it’ll still cost $20.
“We’re actively working to make the digital content from the Collector’s Edition available in a $20 upgrade bundle (suggested retail price), available on 9/15/2015,” announced Smith. “If you purchase a stand-alone version of Destiny: The Taken King, or already have, you’ll be able to pick up the digital items as soon as they are available.”
