"Dague said about Destiny and the way in which Bungie has thought about its future already."
Oh, so that's why the game has such a small amount of content in it day one. Dat DLC and sequels. Someone should tell them you CAN make a loot based game that has updates and expansions planned, but still have a good amount of content in it day one. See: Diablo, Borderlands. Hell, even Torchlight.
As for liberating, I can see that. Even if Destiny and Halo share similar genre and setting, it's still a different universe and story. And there are different gameplay elements they can incorporate now without pissing off Halo fans.
