My biggest concern about Destiny. (Destiny)

This is all at the whims of the platform holders.

Someone has to pay those server bills... unless they decentralize it like classic PC games it will not live forever. (Halo 2 saved us from the horrors of decentralized PC private servers with the beloved virtual couch revolution, try and play that online now!)

Myth is still alive though, through somewhat nefarious means, and the 16 player limit/list common in every Bungie title since leads me to believe that code is still in there somewhere, so it should still be able to live forever if someone cares enough.

My own opinion is that it is not an MMO, but it's not a classic disc game with ancillary/disposable MP elements like previous Halo games so your fears are well founded and the situation is without precedent, or at least without a resolved precedent. Brave new world indeed.
