It’s clear that Mr Schreier and Mr Hamilton are Destiny fans, but paid for favorable Destiny coverage? Nope.

dude like... literally...

Sweet jeezus to everyone. Kotaku, IGN, Polygon, whoever...none of these guys owe us anything. They get paid in advertising fees, just like TV, radio, etc. We contribute nothing besides our own unjustifiable sense of entitlement. As for Jason, I thought it was pretty clear he’s been a huge Destiny fan since forever. I…

Yeah... no. Destiny 2 is actually good so far. That’s how the majority of the internet feels, you silly troll.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t it you that broke the story about how Destiny 1 was gutted story wise, and had a pretty terribly development cycled the year before release? Maybe it wasn’t you, but I’m pretty sure it was someone on Kotaku.... To say you guys are being paid for positive coverage is just stupid.…

What’s the secret to getting paid for positive coverage? I’ve been doing it for free this whole time and I feel like I’m just throwing away cash every time I publicly state that I like something.

No, Kotaku is paid by ad clickthroughs. Destiny is a MASSIVE draw, much like Game of Thrones was for io9 over the last two months. Anything Destiny-related is going to draw a lot of clicks, which draws a lot of comments, which draws more clicks, which spawns more Destiny-related articles.

Which gameplay altering microtransaction might that be? Seriously. I need to know.

Just ignore these D-bags Jason. You do a great job!

I love how the vandals anime-run around now too.

“You’ll often see the Ghost icon pop up in the top right corner, indicating that there’s something nearby to scan for some good lore details, but the game doesn’t do a good job of telling you how to find it, and often it appears in the middle of heavy firefights.”

I heard that PS4 players were having a lot of issues (oh the irony), but other than a brief queue to wait to get into the game, neither me nor any of my Xbox friends had any issues. I played for about 6 hours last night.

I didn’t have server issues last night (went from about 10:44 pm Central to 12:30 am central), but I can say a friend was stuck in a queue to even load the game (though that may have been due to him not pre-loading his digital game). Maybe the servers got worse over time, but what I played was responsive and did not…

in a new multiplayer online game? NOOOOOOO
