I have, there are accounts from former Bungie employees on the matter. Sadly however, former employees do not always tell the whole truth, and regardless of what was on the story boards in the beginning that is no way what was promised with the game sale. Books, movies and games are often changed right up until release. It is a normal cycle. You purchased what was released and until someone came along and told you it was supposed to be different you were fine with your purchase. Did you spend hours of time playing... Most likely yes. Then why are you so dissatisfied after listening to speculation and conjecture. Grow up, Bungie had every right to sell the game anyway they saw fit, and you have every right to purchase or not purchase their game. No one is entitled to "free" stuff. It is called business and like it or not it is how the "real" world works
