Here we go...

"Unlikely to happen. Especially since you said up front that you WANT it to happen. You can't design a cultural touchstone -- you can only discover them."

Not really sure what she's getting at, actually.

Bungie says "We bottled lightning with Halo. We think Destiny can be even bigger."

How does this ensure that they'll fail? (Okay, she didn't say they'd fail. She suggested that WANTING people to look back on their experience with Destiny and class it up there with LotR or Star Wars was somehow going to make it LESS likely that people would actually do that. Seems like about as hipster-ish as you can get without the glasses.)
