To clarify, “done” usually means content complete. That is, stop adding stuff, fix the bugs, finalize text and localization, etc. You can’t keep making changes after a certain point because then the game will never ship.

This gets lost in translation from creator to consumer, even I forget it sometimes in a moment. While it is quite fun and interesting to get to know the thinking that created the Crota Raid, it is this point right here that is the ultimate WHY. Not just for this, but for everything video game creation done effectively. Once the beta deadline is done, you literately get locked out to adding anything else. To fix a bug often means going to your lead, who unlocks that one thing for you to update with the bug fix, then when done, it gets locked.
