Bungie clarifies story and developmental rumors about Destiny

The ultimate online first-person shooter game Destiny has been going through a lot of rumors lately regarding its story line and developmental issues and therefore Bungie community manager David “Deej” Dague took a second to address these ‘rumors’ that have been hovering in the air.

He did not care to go in depth with this case but it is the first time that Bungie has spoken up about the rumor. To those who did not understand the story completely, many people on Reddit and other websites have been reporting that Destiny’s story was suppose to be totally different than it turned out in the final episode and the causes for this were pointed out to various things, such as staff changes and interference from publisher Activision.

David’s final response to all of this was –

“Let me stop you right there, if I may. We’ve seen a lot of theories about Bungie on the Internet this week. I understand why that stuff is compelling. The drama of the rumor mill is a symptom of a greater issue: We all want Destiny to be better. The problem is that sifting through gossip in search of truth doesn’t bring us any closer to a stronger game.

The launch of Destiny changed things for me at Bungie. Ever since you became a community, instead of an audience waiting for a game, I’ve been invited into a room where a dedicated team is talking exclusively about the next updates for Destiny. Through me, you have a seat at their table. I’d rather spend the precious time we have together coming up with ideas for how the game can better support us as a community. I’d rather we look toward the next update. There may come a time when we take a probing look back at the challenges we faced during the development of Destiny, but those won’t be my stories to tell.”

So now players decide what you want!
