THAB—Content Vault Edition (Destiny)

This week they describe what exactly is happening with the content vaulting. Surprise, it’s just as half-asses as you probably thought it would be!

I dunno, this seems pretty straightforward and explicit. It's pretty much exactly like I was expecting from their earlier signals and that means they figured out a good way to message that information to me.

I'm not sure I'm totally happy with previous content disappearing, but I do think that Destiny is a game that needs focus. Sparrow racing was fun, even if it was too limited at first. Once it was something people could choose to play with friends, nobody did it. Too much content always available can cause content to become stale. Destiny needs a critical mass of community interest for its underlying mechanics to work well. Pruning makes sense from my perspective and this doesn't seem that dumb to me.
