Horrible interview. Here's my takeaway in TL;DR form... (Destiny)

Anyway, I don't like that Luke said they're totally addressing the issues and then totally deflected when asked about those issues. He doesn't even cop to them. It gives me no hope for this xpac, and I'm worried about the future of Destiny.

Why should he have to say more after saying they're addressing those issues? Is not describing how exactly they're addressing it in the interview make him a liar somehow? Wouldn't that be really stupid to lay out specifics of how they are changing things given that TTK is still in development? And why would they rush to agree with criticism and elaborate on all the "issues" given that they obviously still believe in the game and, let's be real here, are still publicly pitching the game to try to expand their player base?

THANK GOD Bungie isn't one of those obsequious companies that acts like every consumer complaint must be addressed or every wish granted (although sometimes they seem headed in that direction, which worries ME about the future of Destiny). They have ideas and philosophies governing what they want to do and what they want the game to become. I like the fact that Bungie still seems like a company that is willing to acknowledge criticism without losing sight of their vision of what they want to build. To paraphrase what Jason said the other day, fan's concerns are real, but the hard part is diagnosing what Bungie should do. Go back and listen to Conversations with Creators (at the 33 minute mark). These guys hear the fans. If your specific criticisms don't end up being addressed (in the game), well, at some point maybe you have to acknowledge the game they want to play is not the game you want to play.
