So there are speculative reports in various media that Bungie have a "10 year plan" for Destiny and are planning a 500 million investment into the game over that time. I know Ccp could never have pushed that kind of coin at Dust but any thoughts on the decade plan they have?

They have a 10 year plan for the franchise, not just Destiny. I do believe Activision is banking allot on the game being a success, though they have money to burn with all the sales of the new CoD every year.

Reliable developer backed by big money developing a game in a genre they helped define
versus
Flakey developer buying the cheapest labor it can (chinese) in order to develop a game in a genre that couldn't be more different from their one other game, a game which has had such a horrible code base they have had to re-write it a few times.
I really do not see a parallel here.

Why do we always use the fact that the dev group is based in Shanghai as a reason to why they have a hard time making Dust? Seriously, why?

Because when was the last time a quality product came out of China? China is known for producing the absolute cheapest, cut-rate, bordering safe, possibly toxic, artificially cheap products on the planet. Many companies have been burned in the past by try to switch to chinese labor, and have had to retool shop elsewhere.

They aren't spending $500 million over that 10 year time. They are spending that $500 million right now for the Destiny.

Well, I'd like to post this again (can't find my previous post).
A little history lesson. In short, Bungie was on top with Myth II on the PC. Myth III was expected to be even better. Halo was their next big thing. Bungie, along with Blizzard, was a big Mac supporter since they were doing PC games just as that was becoming a big deal and Microsoft and the PC clones hadn't taken off yet.
So, Halo was getting heavily promoted for the Mac and Myth III had a big player base. Then the bottom fell out. Bungie sold its soul to Microsoft for funding to do Halo. Microsoft wanted Halo to be their premier title on their new console, the Xbox.
PC/Mac development was dropped. Also, they dropped support and development for Myth II. Myth II was sold to Take Two Interactive which pretty much just hastily finished it off and through it out there with bugs galore. Also, the biggest thing about Myth was that you could mod it and create maps and upload and distribute them. Myth III was 3d based and so even that was gone.
Bungie is the reason why Blizzard and WoW became number one on the PC.
Let's just say that NO, I would not support or expect any guarantees for Bungie products long term.
They lost my support 14 years ago.

Yep they are spending $500 million in just the first game so as to establish the franchise. They won't make their money back in sales on the first game. But with DLC and sequels they'll spend less on marketing because it'll be an established franchise. I'm no fan of Activision, but I do think it its pretty smart.
Most tankers are like sand people. They frighten easily, but will quickly return...and in greater numbers.

For all you guys that played Magic: The Gathering when they were younger:
HEX: Shards of Fate's open Beta is very close!

The game is just wonderful, I even stopped playing RUST (not Dust 514) to have more time for HEX. |

Destiny will be successful they already have it set up, that if you play on PS3 or X360 Your character profile follows you to PS4 and Xbox one.
Meaning if a new Sony console or Microsoft console comes. They will be prepared. Now my only concern with Destiny is the Publisher Activision, I expect content to be with held. Along with a ton of micro transactions.
In short my expectations are very low for Destiny. |

When they announced Legion my wife was fairly happy that we wouldn't have to waste money on a PS4. She was also happy when I told her I might have to cancel all of my CCP accounts (60$ a month on average). She was then disappointed when CCP officially pledged to transfer our characters when they changed platforms...because I'm still in favor of supporting CCP, and they deliver just enough that I can hold on to the hope that we'll see something amazing in the next few years.

The difference is that Bungie knows how to make a good FPS. So even if the 10year plan goes the way of Dust, we won't have spent our time on sub-standard gameplay in the meantime.
RIP Stinky Sleeve.
RIP Dust514.
See you on Destiny. PSN: GSDSteVB
