What always happens to grandiose projects (Destiny)

While I wish Bungie would open up and admit to what is really going on, I don't think they can. To admit they ran out of time is to admit failure, which the industry and the buying public, regardless of how fun the game is, would murder them over. No, they have to hang their heads high, say "we know what we're doing", and hope that in time they are able to create the universe that they dreamed about.

Really? Usually big companies get massive props for discussing failings, so much so that I'm surprised they don't use it more often as a marketing tactic. It makes them look humble and close to their customers and "authentic."

Hanging their heads high is exactly the thing that a lot of people already are murdering Bungie over.

I think it's too soon for a public postmortem. After the expansion packs, in the lead up to Destiny 2, we'll get some insight, I bet.
