Kotaku, The Messy, True Story Behind The Making Of Destiny (Destiny)

I'm not surprised that they're taking a page out of Blizzard's playbook. The parallels are pretty obvious. Ironically Diablo 3 was another game I was hyped for that disappointed me greatly on release. Activison companies are starting to make a habit of doing that.

I feel the same way. Activision's marketing department is great at saying things that sound like, but aren't, promises, and then underdelivering on them like crazy.

Sadly, D3 is the first of the games I was really hyped for that I felt burned by and contributed to my current stance of never pre-ordering anything.
