As it turns out from my source, despite hours of rehearsals, Jason Jones was actually unable to see what was going on on his monitor, which may be partially why he was slow to react to Joseph Staten’s calls. As it turns out, Bungie was also playing the game back stage, matching with Staten and Jones’s actions on-stage just in case something like that happened. It’s not a new practice, but it was very weird to see it in a world reveal. Apparently, it was also very hot backstage as many developers were ready and waiting to give their slice of the presentation.
It’s nice to know then that this wasn’t a Destiny or PS4 issue.
