In the MMO shooter Destiny, the developers mix with the players to gain an information advantage and to know what is worthwhile in Destiny and what is just bad.
Launch went solid
In an interview with joystiq, Zach Russell, the Director of Online Service at Bungie, talks about the first month of the MMO shooter and cannot hide a certain excitement before the launch: “When you let millions of players through the door into your game, you are pretty nervous. Did we think of everything?” For such a large project, the launch went solid. They had some complex issues, for example with access to Destiny from dormitories at US universities, but they are working on that. The servers were rarely down. Maybe four hours in the first month.
