How does Bungie plan to handle splintering?

I never expected to play with Xbox 360 players when I have the Xbox One version. I never expected to play with PS4 users when I play on my PS3. That was all wishful thinking.

Why not? This has been the standard for how these massive shared world type games have operated in the past. Regardless of platform, if you had a client you could connect to the same world as everybody else. Most were PC/Mac only because of this, with a few exceptions of course. Especially with Destiny ostensibly being such a social game, this is a major step backward, and antithetical to that goal.

I realize this is beyond their control of course, but they are partly responsible since they are targeting 4 (3?) incompatible platforms, instead of just making PC/Mac/Linux versions that can play together like has been common up to this point.
