Forbes and their terrible reporting

I can't stand Forbes' article on Destiny, and more specifically the writer of this article (Paul Tassi). This is some of the worst journalism I've seen outside of fox news in a long time. To start with, he is lacking in knowledge on the entire game. Bungie has stated you'll be able to carry your characters throughout the entire decade long experience, something he is completely unaware of (even though this information is readily available on a number of forums along with legitimate sources). Next he claims Destiny is an MMO. Regardless of whether you think it is or it isn't, that is an opinion and a point of contention (despite the fact that Bungie has claimed it isn't an MMO). He passes this off as a fact that isn't even remotely debated. The rest of the article is purely his opinion, which is something absolutely any single one of us can give. They're guys on forums more knowledgeable, well spoken, and who are capable of setting their biases aside, than this dipshit. Sorry, I just had to rant. EDIT: he specifically calls Destiny an MMO in his video. At roughly 25-35 seconds in
English

    Another one to look out for is Kotaku. That is some of the worst trash I've ever read. They did a piece after bungie invited people to play the devils lair and it was horrible. And today I read one where the author is assuming they'll be no story. Sad thing is he describes every freaking fps that's come out. He made his statements so vague and open to interpretation that he's not right or wrong. If Forbes pissed you off then stay away from this garbage lol. Back to Forbes, at least they put an update with Eric Osborne's Reddit reply at the bottom of the article. A lot of speculation about this game going around. Can't wait to see who is actually right. But for now most of this trash writing seems like it's to cause hyperbole. Sorry I just had to rant along side of you :-). I understand your frustration. Edit: sorry I was referring to a different Forbes article when I mentioned Eric Osborne.
