In response to the thread, not so much the recent comments:
As a 2-week greenhorn new to the game and the community, I'd like to thank FD for at least providing some updates, and more importantly my fellow players for keeping such a professional and open dialogue (Destiny forums, this is
not). Having played plenty of other AAA titles from other mega devs, I think I have a rudimentary understanding as to why announcements are shrouded in a bit of vagary and shareholder CYA. From what I understand, there's a lot of gray area in releasing new content because there's so many moving parts in the process that providing promises too early leads to
disaster.
Having said that, maybe I'm just coming in fresh, and any planned-yet-unscheduled content is just icing on the cake. Either way, I'm willing to be patient while I watch the PC barnacle miners get rich.
