A Very Reasonable Request, Bungie

Dear Bungie, Today and yesterday were pretty wacky. A whole lot of rumours got started, some of them very convincing. They claimed that Destiny had been mutilated by the evil capitalist empire of Activision, and we were being fed the ground up remains. People compiled little bits of evidence from everything you showed us, that made no sense at the time, but now shed Light onto the mystery that is Destiny's intended form. I do not mean to assume who is lying, the gossipers or you guys, but you, Bungie, are the only people who really know the truth. Architect404 claims to have been very close to the development of Destiny. They answered many questions, and spoke of a collapse roughly 7 months prior to development. Where Destiny was pressed into a new mold after being half baked. The combination of your lead writer leaving, and the Grimoire author joining at almost exactly that moment seems very suspicious. Most of what this Architect said was rational, akin to how a developer speaks to the public, and fit into all the shady bits of knowledge we had. However, only a few hours afterward, DeeJ was to claim that we were being "trolled." The reason for this is likely to protect the public image of Bungie, and how polished Destiny is. Though this comes as more of an upset to me. The claim that Destiny was never immersive and beautiful, that the launch format is in fact what you had envisioned from the beginning, scares me. I would rather believe that Destiny was butchered by some terrible internal conflict than that it was simply never going to be impressive. Like I said, I don't want to take a side in such a shady argument. But I am pleading to you now, don't hide the truth from us. Whether you are or aren't, I wish to remind you. We are your community, and we want to help make your game as amazing as it can be. No matter what happened mid development, we are still playing your game and many of us still support you wholly. We just really want to know what happened to those rendered cutscenes, narrations, alleged storyline, missions, characters and locations, more importantly why those things happened. Please tell us. Is this really what Destiny was meant to launch as?

    DeeJ already said we were being trolled by Reddit's AMA article. DeeJ already said they're working on resolving some issues and finishing up future content. And DeeJ already said that he'll give us more news when he actually has something substantial to share. [b]My point is he IS responding. He's just not saying the things that everybody WANTS to hear.[/b] The problem is some people refuse to accept any other answer EXCEPT some big fat juicy scandal with all kinds of crazy plot twists about how a game's development took a turn for the worst. And they'll never be completely satisfied until they hear exactly that (whether it's even true or not). Regardless of what happened behind closed curtains, some of you guys are going to torture yourselves trying to figure something out that you'll NEVER get an answer to. The development team is remaining tight-lipped because they are under legal contract by the publisher to do so. They have no control over that. Even ex-employees can face lawsuits if they divulge anything. Unless you've been living under a rock you should know that's how many major businesses run. That being said I wish some people would stop vilifying Bungie for remaining secretive about the whole thing. This isn't some conspiracy to scam you out of money. They didn't get this far in the industry by doing that. They're literally just doing their jobs and trying to make a living. They KNOW things haven't gone smoothly at launch and they're clearly making some effort to make things right. The game has literally been out for only 3 weeks. This stuff takes time.
