I'd also wager if nobody had heard of Bungie before and Destiny didn't have the marketing and hype around it, it would have a very different reputation right now, even with the debatable investment system.

Looking back at the first Halo, I don't remember a lot of hatred thrown at it (except by Mac fans :p), but boy do I remember the Halo 2 era where there was a LOT of hate, sometimes from people who had never played it.

Many excellent points, but I just have to point this out. I remember dealing with a lot of hate directed toward Halo from my PC gaming friends (who weren't into console gaming). I find Bungie draws a lot of hate from haters ever since the M$ purchase.
