Subject: Is destiny MMO?

Ok so from reading through a lot of threads it's being said the destiny will be an MMO. But from watching the recent IGN video about the concept are the guy said that bungie was joking about destiny being an MMO. So im a little confused is it an MMO or nor?

Key

If someone doesn't cite a source, don't believe them. Nobody who's said Destiny will be an MMO has cited a credible source or, if they have, they misunderstood the source. This goes for pretty much everything, but especially the Destiny situation.

"Product" or "Products" means the following that are developed during the Development Term (as such term is defined in Section 4.1 a series of interactive entertainment software products being developed by Licensor based on the Destiny Property, planned to be massively-multiplayer-style (i.e. client-based mission structures with persistent elements), sci-fantasy, action-shooter gamesFrom the Bungie-Activision Contract.

That's the most definite information that we have. Whether or not it's classified as an MMO or to what extent the MMO style elements will dominate the game have yet to be seen.

Yes, Destiny is legally an MMO.

MMO just means Massively Multiplayer Online. There is a difference between a MMO and a MMORPG. It could be that the game supports a large number of players on one server.
