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?

Personally I think the whole Sim City launch was a little rushed, they could have delayed the launch and scheduled it for a later date in order to get everything 'Perfect' as a good launch, means a good player base, imo.

I believe that Bungie has had more experience with mass crowds online at release date (Halo series). If they ake this game correctly than than hopefully dedicated servers will not be needed.

Yikes Agh, stupid auto correction. I meant Bungie. Sorry.

ImDevinBay I think Bungie will do good with this, why would they have to worry its basically EA. Not bungie, and bungie has always done good with everything. I think it will be great. As all though , some games usually do have servers problems the first week, but that is cause overload on servers and such


I agree. Hingis will do great!


Bungie has done great in all their other games. I dont see why not this one! :D

I am sure that Destiny won't experience anywhere near the sort of problems SimCity has done, let's face it, EA isn't known for stability or trustworthy services. I am positive that Bungie will make Destiny a great, stable game.
