Well, honestly, this might work out very well for PC. And if Destiny 2 turns out to be significantly better than Destiny 1 on launch, it could create a lot of hype for the game on PC. I wonder if this is partly because Bungie haven't made a PC game in a very long time in-house. Wonder how much the team would have needed to expand to make a PC version a reality - especially since they're getting help from Blizzard to launch the game.

I am certain this has nothing to do with their engineers or programmers, probably higher-ups in marketing and sales department made this decision in cooperation with Sony/Microsoft.

This is fine...
