Worse: It takes longer to buy something with strange coins than it does to delete your character.

On PS4 the other day in the game options menu from the home screen I accidentally selected 'Delete Game' rather than 'Close Game'.
Luckily there is a 'confirm, delete game' screen that comes up. Close call though.
(I'm guessing my save game data would still exist on Bungie Servers even if I delete the game locally?)

Uhh, about that... I flat-out deleted one of my brother's games off of his PS4 when I tried to close it, despite his sounds of confusion. I hit Confirm and everything. Oops.

What's funny is that when you bring up the menu, "Close Application" is automatically selected, and there are no less than five options between that and "Delete". I manually scrolled down and clicked on that without it registering in my head that I was doing it wrong. Go figure...

Why did I even try to close the application in the first place? No idea...

I was loading up Destiny, and when the character screen showed up, my controller was on the table about a foot or so away. When I reached for it, my finger pushed the X button for a second or so. Luckily, the cursor was nowhere near my characters, but it got me thinking. I selected one and pressed X, and the bar filled up MUCH faster than it used to. I obviously didn't let it fill up the whole way--I'm not that gullible.

But I will say this about your gaming habits: You need to be even more careful out there. I used a stopwatch(this is freaking disturbing)--unless there's another prompt--which I hope to god there is--you can seriously delete a character from Destiny faster than you can delete an Exotic.

I swear to God.

WATCH.

YOUR.

HABITS.

BE.

CAREFUL.

I'M SERIOUS.

Stay safe out there, guys.
