Disagree (Destiny)
Yeah no... Luke was more than willing to engage the interviewer on the subject. If he truly didn't know anything about it he simply could have said that's not my department, or I don't know.
Instead he provided some very specific answers about why it was going to be priced the way it is.
This was probably a misstep for Luke and Bungie's PR, but for the interviewer it was a victory because he got some insight into Bungie's thought process regarding pricing that they might not have gotten by talking to a different source.
Bungie of course could backtrack and say something like our employee misspoke or something like that, but I seriously doubt he said anything that is incorrect about their pricing philosophy.
