Oh shut up. (Destiny)

I think people expect Destiny to be an everlasting gobstopper of gaming.


This was expected, because this is what was originally envisioned and promised by Bungie. A promise I KNEW they couldn't keep by the way. I even said so six years ago. Apparently the future isn't so hard to predict after all.


Regardless of what some expected, Bungie never promised a constant flow of content, and you know it. The best info we ever had was the leaked contract that showed the plan at one point in time was to deliver major updates on a yearly basis. Leave your incorrect, baseless six year predictions out of the conversation. Thanks.


Did you watch any of the marketing prerelease? Bungie repeatedly said they want people logging in and playing frequently. They said they wanted things for players to do every day. They said they wanted the game to be a hobby in to itself. They said they had a huge social world that players would not want to leave.

Nothing I expected or just said came from the contract. Straight from their own videos and press releases.


I think its kinda neat how you start calling Bungie liars if something doesn't happen in accordance within your personal timeframe. How you attribute full blown promises to marketing materials. It's cute in an infuriatingly, obtusely naive kind of way.

That said, have you tried being realistic about the timeline for new content? Destiny took what, three years to make? Maybe five? And the previous expansions? The Dark Below took some three months to come out. House of Wolves was some five months after that. The Taken King was another four months. Given that both The Dark Below and House of Wolves were widely considered lackluster is it any surprise that after only four months no new major expansions have come out?

Or are you sticking with your usual "Bungie lied" crap?
