Really eye-opening video by Gamespot's Danny O'Dwyer running deep into the addictive traits of Destiny. I'll be honest, the entire time I watched this I just couldn't stop agreeing with him.
The sad thing is I already knew it, I knew that Destiny was sucking me in with every bright flash of an exotic, every RNG nightfall drop of anticipation turning into sorrow or gratitude.
I'm scared now, scared of Bungie and what they've become; of course this kind of focuses on the 'dark' aspects of the Bungie war machine, but I suppose a lot of good has come out of it, however at what end is this to ever end? Remember that it'll continue for 10 years...
Really, I'm not going to try and reiterate what was said in the video, all very good points made backed with scientific study.
I was already on the fence for the Taken King, if anything I'm being swayed very negatively.

The slot machine engine is not in itself a bad thing. That's the best way to keep a game entertaining. However using it to make money is pretty revolting. Still, I'm in love with Destiny and though it's an abusive relationship, I want to be a part of the experience.
