This is NOT why we have a beta (Destiny)

There is nothing unexpected about not having enough resources to cope with a flood of demand that you engineered.

What we are seeing is exactly whet any competent engineer would have expected. There is nothing novel, unexpected, bleeding edge or unusual about problems cause by thousands of people trying to access servers and download gigabytes each all at once.

It's pretty poor but it only makes things worse to say that betas are for winding up gamers. :-)
