sounds to me like you really want to hate it. 

Game is excellent. But you can keep rolling with your conspiracy theories which all seem to point to Bungie engaging in a huge coverup on how bad the game they are releasing is. 

Too be fair, that kind of stuff is well documented as ways to control the review process. People are more likely to be biased(well ... even more biased than humans already are) when they go to exclusive events, and companies stopping the review process through embargos or in this case not sending a review copy can effect sales of the game. Whether or not the game gets positive reviews OP should not retract these "conspiracy theories", because getting a positive review from EasyAlly just means it's a good game, not that shady shit wasn't going down

If you have played Destiny you would understand why sending out a review copy would be pointless. The only way to let the play the game was a simulated event. The game is always online and many of the events just don't work without proper matchmaking and mass all logging in to partake.

Personally I don't mind it. Now its seems we have less reviewers rushing out a review to be "1st" and actually playing the game. They still got 1 of those reviews, the Slant Review was published the night the game was released. No one in hell can you play enough of this game in a day and then write the review and still be able to knowagebly score it.
