I really wanted to talk about this video. I'm surprised by the support I've seen on this video over in the /r/destinythegame subreddit because I think it's overly dismissive of real issues and the communities feelings towards it.

One of his points that really stuck with me was when he said that the FOMO doesn't matter when it comes to seasonal stories because I can look up videos or other resources online to try to catch up.

Is that really a good enough solution to deflect criticism from Bungie?

What about triumphs or titles?

This video really left a bad taste in my mouth, but I recognize that I'm in the minority on this.

The only FOMO aspect I hate is missing out on armor as I quite enjoy fashion. It use to be shaders but I’ve come to learn it’s not worth playing things like Trials, Crucible, or IB if I am not enjoying the game, so the “fear” of missing shaders has passed me by thankfully.

Genuine question though. What do you want him to say about FOMO? He’s offering solutions for a situation that doesn’t currently have one.

Is that really a good enough solution to deflect criticism from Bungie?

Maybe this is just me but I don’t think Datto is deflecting criticism for Bungie in this video. As it stands right now, there are no measures in place to view any previous seasonal cutscenes or anything other than the random channels who re-upload stuff. He isn’t defending it. He’s just stating the situation, and here’s what you can do if you’re concerned about missing something.

Just want to say I agree with your second point, I also didn't get the conclusion that he's dismissing criticism. I understood his message as simply if you're not enjoying the game then take a break- criticism or feedback is still valid but don't force yourself to try to engage in a game that doesn't bring you some form of entertainment
