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

While he says all of what's behind him is playable space and real geometry and one day they hope to send us there, I can't help but wonder if perhaps we misinterpreted his remark. He's not lying, one day they MIGHT send us there. Or perhaps he was telling something of a white lie. The remark is true, he's just demonstrating in the wrong direction. After all, what's behind him is far more visible and expansive than what's in front of him, which is a giant wall. He could've even meant the area just around the wrong of the wall, which, like we saw in the Beta, was fairly expansive for no real reason. Or he could've just been making a false remark and was reprimanded for it later.

It does make me wonder. If Bungie were even remotely open they might talk about what they really meant, but they're a bit like Apple in that regard: they only ever tend to acknowledge their mistakes a while after the fact, and control the PR in the medium term. Years later we get to hear oh god that was *such* a fuck up! on some behind-the-scenes footage somewhere.

But it's kind of too late, expectations are set. Here's the top comment on that video:

Good luck putting that one back in the box, Pandora.
