    No. Still waiting for a PC version. I don't want to play with sub-par ps4 graphics. 
    Considering Destiny 2 is going to be announced next year I'm betting you won't see a Destiny 1 on PC.
    With the problems at Sony at the moment, i wouldn't hold your breath on that one. A lot can happen between now and then, it wouldn't surprise me at all if it was either delayed, or released to more or a different platform.
    Doubtful that problems at Sony would hold anything up; their only input with respect to Destiny is to QA stuff for the PS4.
    Then you haven't taken note of the number and scope of the lay offs that Sony has made in the Playstation division lately.

    Sure .. there are plenty of other great games to play. If they don't want my business, i am not going to lose sleep over it. 
    What do we even need a Derpstiny PC port for? Warframe has more content and is better in almost every way.

    Variety? I also play warframe ... but does that mean that I am not going to play other 3rd shooters? Not a chance.

    (Destiny is a FPS, not a TPS).

    And I suppose you have an argument there. The important thing to ask to determine whether or not a Destiny port would be a good thing is whether or not it would come with the chat support and partying features expected of a PC release. Destiny's main flaws all stem from it being tailor-made for consoles. Adding the required grouping and chat UI and functions would be a huge improvement for the game.

    Though I do think there is another reason why a port of this type would be highly unlikely. Every other PC & console MMO I can think of does not require PS+ or XBOX Live membership to play. This is in part because all or most of these were made for PC first, but it is more or less an expectation of a PC cross platform title. Having some of your customers pay a pointless premium while others get to participate for free is just asking for a PR nightmare. Perhaps, for Bungee, Sony, and Microsoft, a required subscription is just more important than opening up the box sales to PC customers, especially because Destiny is one of the main titles pushing these subscriptions on the current-gen consoles.

    I have no clue whether they will or will not port Destiny to the PC. But at least Bungie said that it is possible.

    Again, if they don't .. i am just going to play something else (as mentioned before Warframe will be one of those).

    Destiny's biggest problem was its lack of player communication options, on the few occasions you do actually group up with others, there just isn't any communication, despite there being an option for voice comms, it just never seems to be used. At least if they did port the game to PC they could introduce some real communication options, and maybe raise the bar a bit higher than just 3 people in a group. And also allow for voice comms for guilds rather than only for people in a group, maybe then players will actually use it?
