It's just a basic rule. (Destiny)

THAT SAID, You'd think that with all they learned about making Halo over the years that the whole starting-over-Destiny-mid-cycle thing wouldn't have happened.... I mean, c'mon. You guys have done this before..... did you not learn from the mistakes?

THEY may have learned, but certain other people may not have…

Nobody has given the real reason and full context for Destiny's troubles. I'm wondering if Jason Schreier's book will present the whole picture.

Jason Schreier's book will likely just be a compilation of regurgitated internet-facts most of us already know.

That is possible. For instance, his article on the 'supercut' was technically correct in that the facts were all right, but it again did not provide the context for why the supercut was the way it was. Context which would make Joe look much more favorable. I know he knows this, so I would be willing to bet his book will dig a little deeper.

Like, even this mega article was 95% known facts with a little bit of 5% new for 'ah!' moment that tied some parts together more.

If someone is chatty enough to talk, they're gonna be chatty to others, so anything they've said have already likely percolated to the internet. That's why I assume it'll be mostly a collection of stuff we already know, a little nugget that is new, some other stuff that's basic_game_development_problems.doc and some tabloidification to make it more spicy looking than it actually is.
