Is Bungie trapped between a rock and a hard place? (Destiny)

Given how often we seem to get post-facto news about game development being "rebooted" it's probably time to stop automatically assuming it's a huge deal that necessarily rips games asunder. Some games handle it well, some games don't. At this point "there was a reboot of the game during its development" is practically synonymous with "the game was developed."

I mean, basically every game is 'rebooted' during the concept stage. Many people consider Bioshock Infinite a success, and that game was infamously rebooted.

The problem is when the reboot isn't a complete one. They weren't throwing stuff out and starting anew. They were using existing things and cobbling them together in a different way, and saving already made stuff for expansions. If you are going to reboot the game, you need TIME. Too bad Bungie can't go back to the days when their release date was "when it's done".
