Hoewel de bèta van Destiny al dagen geleden is afgelopen, is er vandaag een persbericht naar buiten gebracht waarin staat dat er 4.638.937 unieke spelers hebben mee gedaan. Bijna iedereen die ik ken heeft het gespeeld en er van genoten en zijn dan ook van plan dat als de game uit komt deze gelijk in huis te halen. Hoe dan ook Bungie heeft wat spierballen laten zien en de gamers zijn onder de indruk. Dus missie geslaagd.
