Bungie not afraid of SimCity style disaster for Destiny

4.7
Bungie has explained via a blog post that they are not afraid of experiencing a SimCity style launch debacle citing the following

"This isn't our first rodeo"
The blog post continues to say "Bungie is no stranger to anxious mobs of players who rush home after a midnight launch and put our best-laid plans to the test." Bungie states that it hopes to "focus on some less frightening but equally important challenges" for now, worrying about release day problems at a later time.

This is clearly a swipe at the recent series of issues experienced by EA/Maxis during the launch of SimCity.

How do you think Bungie will handle launch day of Destiny compared to how badly SimCity was handled?

They Seriously? This is Bungie we're talking about here, there will be no problems.


I love Bungie but they never made a game without problems. If there were no problems then there wouldn't be any patches.

Bungie have always been good on the server-side of things and if there ever is a problem, they get it fixed ASAP (Unlike EA) so I doubt there will be any long-lasting problems :D

SOG I have no doubt in them, they will put dedication into their game.


Bungie have never had server issues right? Can't remember if they have or not.


actually i think Halo 4 had some minor problems with host migration during the first week of launch, of course it was quickly fixed...

It'll be good, EA are money hungry, Bungie have a lot to lose so I'm sure they'll do their best.

Agreed. They certainly have made great games in the past, why shouldn't this one be good as well?
