Hey man,

I saw you changed the ESRB rating on the "Destiny" page from "Teen - Rating Pending" to "Teen." I saw the Polygon news report too, but I did not think it was appropriate to change it on our wiki yet. This is because, to my knowledge, this has not been independently confirmed by Bungie or the ESRB. Considering that video game news sites are not a Reliable Source by themselves, I was wondering if you had seen any direct confirmation from Bungie or the ESRB about the rating being "official" rather than "pending."

I've learned never to trust gaming news websites, especially when they say things like "an anonymous source confirmed..." or "we have confirmed..." It's like a 50-50 chance that it's totally wrong. And since ESRB ratings do not typically come out until the game has "gone gold" (i.e., is completely finished), this seems REALLY premature. So it would be good to have an official source for this information rather than just Polygon! Have you seen anything like this?
