Bungie's reveal: a disservice to Destiny

That's the quote, but it's the sentence before that that caused the backlash:

We limited players to two weapons, we gave them recharging health, we automatically saved and restored the game -- almost heretical things to first-person shooters at the time. We made the game run without a mouse and keyboard. And now nobody plays shooters the way they used to play them before Halo 'cause nobody wants to.

The interpretation many people and some blogs have of this is that he's saying "no-one plays shooters with keyboard and mouse anymore, because halo rendered that obsolete", which is obviously not the case. We all know it wasn't what he meant, but you know the internet...
