Patrick Klepek weighs in on the backlash: (Gaming)
Over at Vice Gaming, Patrick wrote a story about the backlash surrounding the game, with a particular focus on the subreddit and a thread that was posted there a few days ago that compiled an entire list of things that were advertised at one point, but never appeared in the game.
This whole debacle does quite a bit for me to highlight why Bungie is no longer the open developer we used to love, and is now seen by many in the general audience as just another tight-lipped, money-hungry company.
All I can think of is "if you see a mountain in the distance, you can go there." That sentence got me so hyped for Destiny, and the final product was incredibly disappointing in that respect. It's hardly an open world at all. No Man's Sky, on the other hand, is an open GALAXY. How can people not be completely flabbergasted by the scale of the thing?
