You say "lie", Activision says "monetize". That area they said is playable? I'm sure it still is playable, it's just not in the core game. You don't honestly think they'd take playable map real estate they paid a team of level designers good money to make and throw it in the trash do you? No, of course not. They set it aside for future monetization.
Say it with me now [b]M-O-N-E-T-I-Z-A-T-I-O-N[/b]. Good, good. Now keep your wallet nearby if you're looking for a Destiny that is beyond a minimum viable state.
Consider the core game an open ended feeler program designed specifically to gauge what the player base wants in specific so they could prioritize and optimize future development time in line with the interests of their fanbase to maximize profitability. You want it? You screaming at the internet about how it'll make Destiny the perfect game? Well you can bet your ass that's what they're going to wrap up in neat little packages and sell you over the course of the next decade.
Game development is a business boys n girls, and business is gooooooood!
...that said, I think its a shitty thing to advertise stuff you aren't selling... You tell me you're selling a bacon cheese burger, I'm probably going to expect bacon and cheese on a burger, even if you have a tiny fine print disclaimer stating "burger toppings subject to change". Yeah that doesn't [b]require[/b] them to include bacon and cheese, but even an idiot would expect a customer not to be satisfied with a plain burger when they were expecting bacon and cheese on it.
...yes, I just compared the content missing from Destiny to bacon and cheese...

Now someone has to make a meme with two bacon cheeseburgers where it shows the difference in what bungie offered and what we really got hahaha
-
Just needs a Destiny logo =P
-
This is good
-
The Moon Wizard community is dissatisfied with the lack of bacon and cheese.

I read nothing but the last line and laughed for a solid 3 minutes and I'm not going to read the rest because I don't want it ruined that was great thank you.
-
Dont bring me into this... Bacon has done nothing.
-
Bacon, why are you so damn delicious?
-
Because Bungie has me so salty...
-
Not to make this weird... but I love bacon... I bet you get that all the time.
-
I do.

Best Comment Chain on the internet, 10/10 would read again
-
Awesome! XD
-
I think that is a very accurate comparison. Bacon and cheese are big parts of the product and when they are left out they are sorely missed. Much like the gameplay and story elements from the game.

Typically I find food analogies to be in poor taste... ...get it? Poor taste! ...I also find my sense of humor to share that attribute...

Hahaha! That's great! I have the same humor that most people find poor in taste. Thank you for the comic relief.
