Nobody cares about anyone else's opinion - be it mine, yours, or a cult of angry star wars nerds - when they are enjoying what they enjoy.

Everyone cares about opinions, that's why we socialize on a forum with strangers.
So this leak happened and we know some stuff we didn't know before. Destiny is a series of four games that will come out every other year beginning in 2013. Each game will get an expansion pack and there'll be additional paid content as well. The game is vaguely massively multiplayer, but we don't know what that means yet.
Also, there's a new Marathon or something.
SO WHY IS EVERYONE FREAKING OUT ABOUT THIS?!
We essentially know nothing. We have yet to see gameplay footage. We have yet to learn what "massively multiplayer" even means, let alone whether or not it's "liek totally a WoW clone" in any way. Paid downloadable content has been a part of playing Bungie's games since Halo 2. Marathon has been dormant for 18 years and that's a huge amount of time to formulate new ideas concerning the universe, the gameplay, and the characters.
I'm wary of Activision, just as many of you are, but the fact is that we learned very little from this contract leak. A whole bunch of you are, predictably, jumping to all sorts of wild conclusions, but there is nothing to be worried about, at least not until we know something concrete about what all of this new information means.
Short version: Don't panic! You're all getting worked up over information that has no context. We still know nothing about the games themselves, so quit worrying and be patient. If Destiny is scheduled for Fall 2013, it's a safe bet that we'll see something at E3 this year.
