Good on Bungie if this is true (Destiny)

Completely off topic, but has there been a single good reason to purchase a strategy guide in the last, I don't know, five years?

Not to toot my own horn, but yeah ;-p

I honestly think the Portal 2 guide was worth purchasing if you're a Valve fan. We had tons and tons of concept art and the like, as well as a really extensive set of interviews with the developers that got really really in depth. There was a comprehensive story guide too. Tons of wiki pages copied passages and tidbits from the guide because they were so interesting and important.

As a bonus, the guide portion was really really good too with tons of tricks, shortcuts, etc.

You're right in that the actual guide portion is becoming less and less relevant due to the internet, but there's all that other stuff you can't really get anywhere else. That's why I worked with Future Press in the first place: they understand this really well.
