The Danger of Splitting the Community
[u]Summary:[/u] Bungie is releasing their game on the Xbox360, PS3, and PS4. If there is exclusive content on one of these platforms then it could split up the community. If the community is split up then it will not last as long or be smaller.
Bungie has decided to make their game (for one year after release) exclusive to consoles. To our surprise they have also decided to release the game on the PS4, which while we can't pre-order now is going to be available at launch. There is also a mobile app currently only available on iOS and Android. If any of these platforms provide exclusive content (with the exception of the mobile app) it can and will split the community into camps not only for and against but also haves and have nots.
[Note: I typed this up the hour I noticed the update about the PS4 but didn't get around to posting it until now. I'm honestly surprised that the PS4 is getting exclusive content, but perhaps it won't have too much of an impact.]
Clarification: When I made this post I didn't know about the exclusive content, that was quite honestly a coincidence.

I am not talking about the current community I am talking about the whole Destiny community overall. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] matt1239 (Apothecary Matt) they havent said anything about the other consol's so they might get there own pieces, also what is the exclusive stuff[/quote] I honestly can't quite tell, but it's all over the forums. [quote][b]Posted By:[/b] spartain ken 15 Bungie said Destiny will be available at launch for PS3/PS4. I also definitely think it is coming this year.[/quote] Yeah, I know that. I've had my suspicions that it would launch in 2013 too "See you [s]starside[/s] in 2013", but I'm not so certain now that the PS4 is involved.
