News Destiny Didn't Have Enough Post-Launch Content, Says Activision CEO
That'll change with Destiny 2
Destiny has always been a bit of a weird beast. Back when it first launched - and even before - the shooter was framed as a kind of MMO-lite experience that would be continually updated and improved.

News Destiny Dev Had 'No Idea' What the Darkness Actually Was

Weirdness Destiny Rapper Is Back and Is Somehow Dropping Beats to Exotic Armour
Rhymes of the exotic kind, part two
Absolutely ages ago (summer of 2016), we wrote an article about YouTuber DUBA and his surprisingly creative Destiny exotic weapons rap - the perfect sort of madness for one of our rarely used 'Weirdness' articles. Now, DUBA's back with a rap that's perhaps even more impressive, if only because we can'
