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?

What is sad is that reporters working in the gaming industry is more fans than reporters and will never have the balls to push Bungie and/or Activision to answer these questions like a real reporter would if this was about anything other than games. In the grand scheme of things this game is of course not that important, so you wasted some money. Big deal, but it is of course disapointing and i'm not saying one should not complain just because no one's life is at stake. But don't expect an answer from the boys that sold out to Activision and don't expect the teenage acting so called reporters of the gaming press to risk not beeing invited to the next big event for asking tough questions. And don't say you will never buy another Bungie / Activision game, because you will run faster than your legs will carry you when D2 comes out in the hope that Bungie is back. As will i .... There where two companies i was always sure would make GREAT games and that was Bungie and Blizzard ... Now there's kind of one and a half ... You can still fix this Bungie. Do something that's never done. Be honest and then fix it. All will be forgiven and instead of being the guys that sold out, you will again be legends ... Your Destiny awaits ....
