Overall, pretty disappointing that if you are switching to PC... nothing at all, including anything achievement/ legacy stuff you did carries.

The more you hear of that kind of stuff I do get concerns for how outsourced the PC game is. It's effectively another Destiny game with subtle differences.

I'm just not buying this 10 year plan bullshit they raved about at launch. I feel ever since the first expansion they've been making it up as they go along.

Well, they have spoken about making stuff up lately, like the darkness (I can't believe they would admit they hadn't got a clue what it meant).

 

I do think they are on their way to a long franchise but I don't think anyone is taking them literally when they say it'll be here for 10 years. It's definitely 5 years imo.
