Matinees are $5! I rented a new release movie from the video store for $2.50!

Am I living in a world permanently on sale?!

EDIT: I forgot to actually write something about what you said. The last part is important. When playing Destiny you're forming bonds and memories. It's not quite comparable to going for a hike together or going on vacation together, but it's also much easier and more accessible. Good luck getting the kidlets to go take a walk in the woods without a Dairy Queen ice cream cone at the other end of it. ($1.00, right?)

For your family, it is an easy way to unwind and have fun.

For other families, say, where one is across the world, Destiny is one of the only ways they can really interact, because the netcode is so good the 400ms ping doesn't matter.

When my dad Skypes me from China, we just talk for 5 minutes, he tells me about some gross stuff he ate, and we're done. If he played Destiny, we'd have a much easier time spending time together.

When I am away, I just don't talk to my family unless they call me. I say "bye" and then talk to them again months later when I need a ride from the airport, because talking on the phone don't mean shit to me. If we had a video game to play together, I'd spend some more time with them. I'm a bad person, but whatever.
