Interesting piece in Forbes that treads a lot of the ground we do here with our debates, except this guy is debating with himself.

I could agree with a lot of it, and enjoyed seeing some of the rarer concept art he collected, but then he drops the ball by seeming to not know that the early concept art was made when Destiny was thought to be straight-up fantasy.

Read that earlier and thought the same-- it seems like the author heard things about Destiny and saw a lot of concept art VERY early and that completely informed the impression of the game, which was then not altered until release.

Another argument for being silent early on in development unless you need to make noise to attract cash.
