My theory on what happened (Destiny)

Why are those choices mutually exclusive? Spend the 100 hours for the band-aid, then redesign the underlying system. At least players have relief in the meantime.


They're not mutually exclusive, but anyone that is familiar with programming will know there is one resource that is the most valuable over all others: man-hours. If they provide a band-aid that is hundreds of man-hours (also notice the 's' on there) that is NOT going into a different new feature, or even fixing the overall system for something that will be temporary. I don't know any developers that would decide to provide a band-aid like that unless the problem was completely ruining the product.

Things change when your game is now apparently a Software-as-Service. Who wants to use a service when problems aren't promptly addressed?
