The fact that Destiny is not subscription based actually worries me greatly. What is their business model going to be? How will they pay for this always connected world? Old style buy the $60 game and play the entire game forever? (although even that will not be a possibility since without the servers you can't play the game, and they won't be around forever) Or will we be treated to micro transactions for gear and stuff?

One of these choices ($60 for a full game) gives me hope that destiny might not be shit after all. The other (micro transactions), nessesarily means the game will be shit (if this happens, I'll explain in detail, don't worry).

Once the business model is revealed, I'll have everything to know whether or not Destiny will be good given what we know so far.
