It's the very nature of software development. Period. (Destiny)

That this was not considered a given for you actually gives me pause.

Maybe I just expect the perfect console patches I get from Valve and Platinum.

Can't speak to Valve's games (never played them... I know, crazy right?), but I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that Destiny is more complicated than every game Platinum has ever made put together. We need to remember that the entire game is always online, and it's all completely interconnected. I can't even begin to imagine the logistical challenge of organizing all the various systems and making sure that a change in 1 place doesn't effect anything else.
