Now there competitors know too. *their
This really sucks, we know all the games they are gonna make. 4 "destiny games" and a "Marathon" game.
We "know" zero games they are going to make aside from the untitled Marathon project. We know ABOUT them, but we don't know them. Even if that was a misstep in wording on your part, I'm sure you meant what it was that you said as well. We know a rough, 5-6 word definition of a kinda-sorta-subgenre-type-thing. That's next to nothing.
It's like describing Halo as "a sci-fi game centered around a plague and halos". You would think it's some sort of game set in the distant future having to do with Armageddon or God in some way. Never would you guess the plot of halo based on that description, in the same way that you cannot even begin to guess the plot of Destiny. We have ncsuDuncan's Destiny Map which can tell us possible names of places in the Destiny universe, but the relevance of them as well as the story going behind that which is the vast majority of the things we can possible "know" about a game, are hitherto unknown to you, me, and the general public at lard.
Furthermore, Destiny is still just a codename and even if it was the next game's/franchise's name, it's still yet to be known what the game is about. So even if you meant "know about", we still don't necessarily even have a definite name. Plus, you never know; Bungie could decide to change the name of the games in between and just have them under the subtitle of "Chapter 2 in the Destiny Quaternology". (I.E. First Blood -> Rambo, but throughout the whole series.) What we know about the Destiny franchise thus far is comparable to the following dialogue:
A: "Hey, Valve's next franchise of 4 games is going to be called 'Definite Infinity'."
B: "Sweet! What's it about?"
A: "Not telling."
B: "-blam!-, now the whole franchise is ruined for me! I know EVERYTHING!!!"
We know nothing but terms and conditions. When and where. Not who, what, or how. Not even all of "why".
Bungie did not usually reveal the release dates, or upcoming DLCs until quite late on, leaving it up to speculation. That is what has been lost.
OH GOD NO WE LOST THE SURPRISE OF RELEASE DATES! WILL SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN?
Really though, in todays day and age, waiting for info on release dates and info is now the exception, not the rule. We get announcements about DLC release dates before the actual game even ships all the time, so knowing a release schedule is only benefical to me since I know when to expect something that's going to extend my time in Destiny.
