Yeah plasmas aren't really for gaming. This is exactly why I returned my Panasonic ST65 this time last year. There are plenty of resources on the web stating this.
Analogy I made is plasmas are like Ferraris, they have superior performance, but you wouldn't want to use one as a daily driver.
The picture quality was amazing, (mostly, when linebleed didn't crop up) made GTA5 on 360 look like next-gen compared to my old TV.
Anyway, my point was even after "proper" break-in (running colored slides for 150hrs before using it), and having the image shift option on and even running slides after 1+ hours of gaming Id still easily start to get burn in from games to network TV logos.
It be came way too much of a stresser for me to enjoy my gaming habits (3-6hrs a day), and I realized a plasma was NOT the TV for what I wanted to do. I returned it to Best Buy after 2weeks and got a cheaper LED Samsung and have been happy ever since. Sure the picture isn't nearly as amazing, but the trade off is I never once have to think about if gaming an extra hour would damage the thing.
Plasmas have amazing picture quality, but only really practical as an "extra" TV that you only use an hour or 2 a day. Like if you have a theater room or something. But using as a primary "living room" TV is going to quickly become a headache, especially if your someone with an eye for detail and/or an avid gamer.
[b]Edit[/b]: Also I highly doubt "millions" play Destiny on a plasma, as plasma TVs only accounted for less than 6% of all TV sales last year.
