I wonder if the 12-14GB was almost ALL the content? (Destiny)

This has the beta build watermark but obviously wasn't accessibly by anyone with the beta. I'm guessing that everything was just locked off in some way and that most of the game was in there (as in whatever content they had at whatever point in time they locked down the build for the beta).

It seems more likely to me that it was included as part of the beta build simply to streamline distribution — one client download gives access to the beta proper, plus for certain flagged PSN/XBL accounts corresponding to journalists the extra multiplayer map is also made available. If the 12-14GB of content was almost all content for the whole game then that means people would be downloading a *lot* of pointless content (other than multiplayer maps, we'd have no need for content from Venus or Mars).
