Interesting in a good or bad way?

bad based on everything he said publicly.

Not really big on Destiny anymore since they continued to neuter the shit out of all the fun stuff to balance their pvp. Not even gonna buy Destiny 2 unless they separate that shit off entirely. Might check this out if it doesn't cost anything.
He was the lead on Vault of Glass which is supposed to be the best part of the game thus far. Don't see how it could be a negative.

What is it that he has said that is so horrible?

Hit me up if you do come back. I'm back on the wagon
There was this whole fiasco with some things he said last summer
Overall though I think Luke Smith heading up Destiny 2 is fantastic news. He seems to be very passionate about Destiny's potential and every piece of content he's been a direct part of has been great.

I really enjoyed Taken King so I will probably jump in on this as well.
Vault of Glass design = Destiny 2 is more No Man's Sky (wonder, exploration, no limits etc.) and less grindy repetitive environments where your only hook is loot? I'll believe in Destiny 2 when I see the results.

I liked the Taken King, and all of Destiny, but unless they implement a better way of grouping up in game, I'm not that interested. I know it wasn't THAT hard to use outside sites, but I just got sick of it... never even got to do that Oryx raid. Also, while I liked it initially, I really hate that they locked away exotics behind daily heroic quests that required you to wait until they popped up again to try them. I get to play for a couple of hours a week, tops, and can't be tied down to shit like that.

I'm indifferent.
On one hand, Luke was responsible for VoG which was one of the best experiences in Destiny, period. He also played the game a lot and seemed to understand the game from a players perspective and even dropped by DGAF once in awhile.
But he was also at the helm for TTK which got rid of a lot of fun that was in the game in Y1. The RNG light system, decision to not carry elemental primaries forward, worthless and unfun nightfalls and disappointing King's Fall raid are just a few examples. We've also seen micro transactions creep deeper and deeper into each content release.
I'm a big Destiny fan and have been playing pretty much full-time since it's release. I'm sure I'll buy the expansion regardless, but I'm not setting expectations too high. Bungie made a lot of changes in this April update which are great. However, I don't know if that's the direction they're taking for all content moving forward or just a bone they threw since we had to wait so long for an update after TTK.

They always find a way to make Destiny fun again... at least until endgame lol
So Im totally in
Destiny is one of those great games to leave alone for awhile and then come back to it seems

Luke is highly critical of all entertainment. I would say he is a near perfectionist. His standards are very high. Microtransactions are not from Bungie. That is their publishing partner.
I think seeing Luke Smith as the game director proves that through this entire Destiny process his input has helped create a lot of the things we love about the game. His standards have helped mold the game into what it is today.
I can't imagine we will ever see Luke Smith get up in front of a crowd and suck up to the audience. At least I hope not.
It is not easy to have vision in life without giving in to pressures from others that want to mold your vision into something that suits them better. I think Luke has strong enough convictions to his vision of what this game can be that he is a good choice to be driving the bus.
Yes, it still saddens me that Activision forced them to sign that contract at gunpoint.
I very much doubt the live team has had enough time to churn anything else out. All they've done are lame special events and the April update which was barely a content update.

Nah TTK reveal topped out around 250K, this will be lower I guess between 80-120.
Hitting 120 now.

I forget how much I hate Deej until I'm watching one of these.
A touch under 200k watching now. (Edit: 207k)
The thirst is real.
New 'Horn is a dedicated quest reward in the expansion, not random drop. Black version is pre-order bonus.

It appears the Iron Ghorn pre-order is basically a skin. There is a quest in the game for everyone to get it.

Gjallerhorn confirmed as available to all, with a quest no less.
Iron version for preorder.

Oh wow a content update to an old weapon, and not actually new content. Thanks Bungie!

He's heading Destiny 2, I believe.
Thank god. Maybe they can actually push the boundaries a bit this time.

I wish they'd turn down the mic on the EP. Way too loud.
I want him to head everything damn it!

Aaaaaaaand I'm back.
After 5-ish months of pause, I think it's time to get back with DGAF.
HYPED for new expansion!

Is it just me, or does this expansion seem heavily inspired by Game of Thrones?

"New and Updated Strikes"
Oh God it might have actually been a Typo.
... Oh he corrected himself, "New strikes... New strike"....
