James Grimes asked Robert Reed:

Second question, you also said in another Clarkesworld interview that Bungie "the makers of Destiny, gave me certain guiding points, and a certain terminology that might be very valuable for me to know" do you remember what these were?

Robert Reed I remember very little, sorry.

But then again, the terminology was nothing special. It's just the names they put into the game that they were still building. The aliens and their quirks. The Tower. Character names. And so on.

They were dealing with a non-game person. I had zero skills with a controller, and just to walk me through the story, they made my avatar invincible. Otherwise, it would have been months before I was able reach the final challenge and win.

I bought the game when it came out. (By then our business relationship was done.) On my own, I managed to max out all 3 of my avatars. Then Destiny 2 came out, and I gave up the hobby completely.

I miss Destiny. There were parts of those worlds that felt more real to me than my own backyard.
