They need to explain responsibilities for Bungie teams (Destiny)

I'm actually all for Bungie completely focusing on Destiny 2. I just wish they'd quit trying to blow smoke up my ass about all the amazing things they're still doing with Destiny 1.


There is always the implication from fans that making content, or changing things that aren't X means that X is somehow being ignored or put on the back burner. As someone who has worked at several software companies that is rarely (if ever) the case. For one thing this update was primarily conceived and built by the live team, not the Destiny 2 team. There's not actually a scenario where if they put everyone "on" Destiny 2 that it would come out 3 months earlier, or be 20% better, that's not how software development works.

I agree with all of this, but it is based on a lot of guesswork for me. Have they ever actually said what the Live team does, what other teams who are not the live team are called and how we can delineate which teams have and will worked on each? I never much cared, but if they are going to say that Eververse funds one "team" and certain content is distinguished by coming from that "team" I feel like I need to know this info to even understand the updates they post on the blog and to make purchasing decisions.
