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

That's actually a great example, but yeah, didn't come from somebody from Bungie.

The more I think about it, though, the more I have to wonder how this description came into existence. For a games journalist to just assume that the game permitted this doesn't make sense to me; they must have asked, and somebody at Bungie must have nodded or otherwise indicated that it was the case. Whether it was wilfully withholding the truth, or feeding somebody something that wasn't true, they permitted the fiction to be published.

As has been written elsewhere (I forget who said it) we'll probably learn the truth of all this in 10 years’ time, much like we eventually did with Halo 2. I suspect once that happens we'll learn that (once again) their vision and their ability to deliver on it weren't entirely in alignment…
