On skill-based matchmaking in *Destiny*:

> People tells us that they just want to be able to make the choice. and we understand that. Sometimes you just want to kick back and have fun. But what does that **mean**?

> Maybe ... that means 'I want to win a majority of my games'. But that's tough because you're playing against other human players. If you win ratio is 65, 70 percent ... then someone else out there is on a 30 percent win ratio. And we don't want that, because they're just going to stop playing. How do we balance that?"
