So don't buy in. Financially, I mean. (Destiny)

by Cody Miller , Music of the Spheres - Never Forgot, Thursday, April 02, 2015, 21:14 (3329 days ago) @ RC

One of the Bungie staff (maybe Jason Jones even) said something to the effect of: they want to provide goals so that in the pursuit of them the player has more fun than they otherwise would have had.

That's called making a game with cool challenges. People knew how to do it since about 1984 or so.
