Without getting into the specific discussion between Fuertisimo and Levi, I do believe articles like this are important to some of us. Forget the fact that its about Destiny, I get excited any time I see an gaming-related article that comes close to actual journalism. For years, gaming magazines and websites have done little more than re-distribute press releases, with little or no original content of value. Like any other industry, there are interesting stories surrounding videogame development. Some gamers don't care, and I totally get it. I find behind-the-scenes stories fascinating, but the secretive nature of game development means we rarely if ever get an honest look at how games are made.

This article in particular suffers due to lack of clear and identifiable sourcing, as Levi pointed out. It makes it tough to keep track of "who supposedly said what", or how much is being mashed together by the author, etc. But Schreier does have a great track record, so I'm hesitant to write it off as clickbait BS the way I might if a similar article was written by some other members of the gaming press. If nothing else, I see it as an attempt to do more than parrot PR announcements, so I think it is significant in that regard.
