I can imagine the fact that this post isn't going to be very well-liked, but I'm going to post it anyway, because I'm stubborn like that. Destiny has officially been announced, and is already available for preorder. This is something I find fairly interesting, considering the fact that the game's release date hasn't actually been announced and very little is really known about it. Why then is it already available for preorder, along with a poster and some unnamed incentives? People who are preordering this game literally have no idea when it comes out, no idea what the incentives are (except for the poster), and very little information on the game itself. And incentives? Really? Why is this even a thing? A player who buys the game a few weeks later and is informed about the game should evidently not be as rewarded as a player who blindly shoves their money into the game.
I know, you think Destiny will be amazing, you have a lot of faith in Bungie, and all that. I've preordered games before. I preordered Halo: Reach and I preordered Halo 4. The latter was definitely a mistake. At least I didn't preorder Aliens: Colonial Marines like so many others did. And the people who preordered that game knew more about it then we know about Destiny now (although much of, if not all of, the demo footage they saw wasn't even in the actual game). My point is this: patience is a virtue. I know it's a cool idea to be brave, but don't be foolhardy. Mkay?

You're not a true Bungie fan if you haven't already preordered the game.
