Gameinformer Article on the Story of Destiny (Destiny)

I wasn't as critical, but now that you mention it...

I think the article does a good of informing people that there's more to Destiny than they might have realized.

That is true. The narrative that "Destiny has no story" has already been out so long it is accepted fact, even among those still playing the game. I fear it is probably too late to reverse that for many, and to the extent that this article connects the dots on certain things that players might not have noticed, it is a good thing.

I think the author has overstated the degree to which everything presented within is accurate, and I'm also wondering why stuff like this doesn't just appear in a weekly update, and why nearly every damn thing we learn about Destiny comes from GameInformer, which is outright owned by a retailer. Surely digital sales are a large enough portion now that kowtowing to GameStop is no longer mandatory?
