Is there a media bias against Destiny?

I've noticed there doesn't seem to be much talk of Destiny in the gaming media, despite the BETA being a relatively large success. I've also noticed much of the media seems to downplay Destiny as a highly anticipated game despite the game breaking preorder records as seen here.: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tech/tech-news/Activision-video-game-Destiny-sets-pre-order-record-Executive/articleshow/40277361.cms? Perhaps it's just my imagination, but is there a media bias AGAINST Destiny? Why are so many people in the media and pop culture either ignoring the game's existence or claiming it's "nothing special." What do YOU think, is there an actual media bias against Destiny, yes or no?

  • Nope, no media bias. Simply Bungie keeping their cards up their sleeve like they always do. You can't report on non-factual info (you can, but in the industry, it's much harder to get away with), but it won't do any of these sites any good. Look at Destiny News or any other fan driven Destiny site, even they are rehashing Beta footage with old info to spread things out and drive traffic. It's not as if we know everything there is to know and news sites can continuously report news on Destiny. Bungie simply doesn't allow it. PS - Datto, not knocking you bro if you read this. I'm one that watches everything you and RFN put out. Withdrawal is getting much worse the closer we get to launch.
