Ok, Bungie: time to stop being evasive (Destiny)

I think there are some very good points being made here. I totally understand the need to keep info close to the chest during development, but it does frustrate me when certain things are kept mysterious for no apparent reason.

Like when Bungie first showed the gameplay demo at E3 2013, and everyone was like "Oh cool, you've got Peter Dinklage in the game" and Bungie's response was "we're not talking about the cast at this time". But... it was clearly Peter Dinklage... we all heard it! If you're not willing to talk about that detail, why show it?

I think the thing we all need to remember is that any Bungie employee that goes into an interview has a list of things they are allowed to talk about. Anything not on that list gets the "we're not talking about that at this time" response. They're not trying to be mysterious, or anything like that. They're just sticking to the stuff they're allowed to discuss.

But I do agree it can come across as silly and frustrating to the fans.
