I don't see how. Blizzard is in partnership with Activision and they're still rolling in money, if not more.

Does anyone else think that Activision is going to run Bungie into the ground?
Having quality and standards, isn't the same thing as having money.

I've been thinking about it and I decided that I really doubt this will be a pay-to-play MMO. It'll be a console game, predominantly, and the release schedule, although perfectly fine due to Bungie's size and pre-planning, would be pretty tight for an MMO. An MMO typically has a very long lifespan, partially extended through numerous expansion packs and DLC. Each Destiny game has exactly one expansion pack.
I think the phrase "massively multiplayer style" is probably more accurate than people are giving it credit for, in that I believe it will take many elements from MMOs without being a traditional MMO.
Or it will be a free-to-play standard MMO supported by DLC and microtransactions. Either way, I don't pay for additional services on top of XBL, so I certainly hope it's free, or it'll take a lot of convincing for me to play it.
I't looks like it will have a Guild Wars model in terms of funding for it's servers and back end.
