But that contradicts known facts. (Destiny)

Two very concrete examples:

1. Ghost Fragment: Vex, Ghost Fragment: Vex 2, and Ghost Fragment: Vex 3 all shipped with Destiny 1.0 and are part of the origin story of the Exo Stranger and the Future War Cult. How did Bungie not know the origin of the Exo Stranger if the game shipped with it?

2. There's a game magazine interview with Jason Jones before the launch of Destiny where he talked about a huge ship in orbit of Saturn that was so big it would be its own destination. (I always forget which magazine it was in, but as a stand in here's an IGN article from Feb 2013 that talks about derelict fleets around Saturn and mile long Tomb Ships.) How can you claim there was no story outline if Oryx's arrival was slyly referenced more than two years before it happened?

Then there's the lesser things like the leaked dlc timeline that came out in Jan of 2015 and showed what would become The Taken King, or the year one weapons named after the Iron Lords, or the "I am noble too, oh Lord of Wolves." caption on The Queen's card whose context was expanded on a year later with Ghost Fragment: Fallen 4, or Rahool rambling about "Oryx dead king" since Destiny was released, or the image of Oryx's dreadnought that I have in my Art of Destiny book, or the one online interview where someone from Bungie mentioning that the Vex storyline was to end with a memorable sacrifice.

Maybe you misheard what someone told you or you misinterpreted it? Maybe the person who told you these things wasn't in a position to know or told you something false to see what you would do with it? Maybe you're taking a partial truth and inflating it to be something it was never meant to be?

Or maybe you made it up.

The problem is, how can anybody tell if you what you claim is anywhere near the truth if you repeatedly refuse to give a source or a quote or a context?
