Why Destiny is on your PlayStation 4. (Destiny)

Claude, I got the exact opposite from the article:

An icon for the game will show up on the system's home screen, which prompts players to purchase and download the game from the PlayStation Store.

I heard about the plans for this during PAX 2014. After the iTunes U2 free-album fiasco and realizing that some people have hard data caps, resulting in a download like this costing them money, I wasn't surprised I had never heard about it again... Until now.

Hmm... reading it again, maybe you're both right. It DOES say 'link' in a few places. In my first read-through, I had the impression it was dumping the actual game on your system, then prompting you to pay to unlock it.

Links are better (though still annoying - if I'd wanted that thing you're pushing, I'd have bought it).
