IGN has an article that shows Bungie has been working on Destiny for 14 years...so yeah they have been dedicated to making Destiny a polished and outstanding franchise. [quote]Bungie has worked hard to earn its deserved reputation for excellence but with its achievements and increased ambition comes unprecedented expectation. That said part of Bungie’s own evolution has involved understanding that expectation and learning how to meet and even exceed it. “I don’t think there’s anybody out there who can have as great an expectation of Bungie as Bungie itself,” insists Dague. “We’re our own harshest critic and our own fiercest competitor. When we say that we make games that we want to play ourselves that is a rock solid truth of our creative process.” No doubt there will be many eyes watching what Halo becomes under 343 Industries’ guiding hand but Destiny stands an evolution of the sci-fi concept that Bungie has spent over 14 years developing and will spend many more years supporting.

I think they meant that their "sci-fi concept," which was born with Halo, has been in development for 14 years.

Seriously, where the heck did he go?
