I posted this in another comment thread, but I noticed it's not on the front page, so some people may miss it,

“The interesting part is we, from the ground up, from the very beginning, we have made sure that [Destiny] can be on multiple platforms,” Parsons assured me. “It’s one thing to say it, it’s another to design and actually architect for it, which we’ve absolutely done. “

This is a pretty long response for something that could have been a simple “no comment,” but Parsons talked about the difficulties in technology Bungie was facing in order to get all the systems of Destiny up and running, and the challenge of making a game of this magnitude that was also a smooth experience for players. With the size of the investment being made by both Bungie and Activision, it makes sense to keep an eye on current and future platforms.

To me it honestly sounds more like they're saying that the engine will work well on both launch platforms as well as ready to move to next gen.

Yeah, it really doesn't mention PC specifically. It just says Destiny could run on platforms other than the ones it launches on.

Well, the reason it is strongly hinting at PC is because he was responding to PAR asking about whether it would be released for PC.

Well yea, but when you say that directly in response to "How about a PC version?" you are surely hinting at something.

I'm honestly shocked that it's not part of the initial launch, nevermind just a "possibility". I thought Bungie had more affection for the PC and had been wishing to get back to it.
Tis unfortunate.
