Kotuka (or whatever his mans his) finally released a collection of interviews and data regarding destiny a few weeks back. It's s great read, and most of my suspicions on what happened to destiny were right, except for activision. They have had almost nothing to do with what's happened/happening. The most pre-release impact they had was bungie going to them asking for more time, and activision giving it to them. He can't site any sources, as they anonymous interviews, but if you were following the scene before destiny came out, and see what it has become now, it all fits.
