Sony isn't bound by this woke crap so this may be a blessing!

Long time overdue 👏👏👏 This game has become a compete JOKE with 55% of the entire population being Hunters (specifically prismatic hunters). There are 15 subclasses in total (5 for each class) and prismatic hunters account for approx 45% of the entire playerbase. How that is a good business strategy???

To be honest, they brought it upon themselves especially with "don't overdeliver"

I wonder if it impacted the PVP strike team? I’m guessing not, because it never existed 🤣👍

I can't wait to hear what Skeletor has to say about this 🤣🤣🤣

[quote]Read the statement from Pete Parsons. Sony x Bungie assimilation is starting. TFS sales apparently didn’t reach the number they needed to offset this from happening. 220 employees are being laid off. Bungie’s future is in an even more precarious position that it was before Final Shape dropped. This is a dark day, but I hope the future is brighter in Sony’s hands (I personally think it will be)[/quote] Bungie leadership is entirely to blame.

Bungie had to explain to Sony why Lightfall was such a failure, while its predecessor, the Witch Queen, was such a monumental success. Bungie didn’t do a good job. Furthermore, they claimed that they needed more time to polish The Final Shape to not repeat the same mistakes as Lightfall. Sony, being reasonable, gave them the extension they asked for, in return for cancelling all prior preorders. Hence, the refund controversy. Fast forward to two weeks into the release of TFS, Bungie was notified that their numbers did not exceed the sales expectations that they agreed to with Sony. Today: everyone with a surprise Pikachu face… Bungie hates their player community. If that isn’t blatantly obvious by now, then you have probably never complained about the state of the game, welcomed every nerf ever implemented, and followed every streamer ever that is seething right now because their partnership with Bungie is on life support. This was a long time coming. This will be a better change for the franchise overall. Unlike Bungie, Sony has a consistent track record for listening to their player community. Destiny 2 is severely outdated, but that isn’t going to keep Sony from polishing this franchise as one of its flagship titles. Destiny 3 will probably take some time to make from the ground up with a new engine, which is why it will also make for a great launch title for next-gen systems, but as a Destiny 1 Alpha player, I can definitely tell you that it’ll be worth it. Over the years, we have seen a lot of changes to this beloved franchise. Some even wonder what’ll be the next Destiny-killer app. Look around, do you still see a fan base as dedicated as us? Some of us started this journey a while ago, and we intend on seeing where it takes us regardless of whoever is at the helm. I’m certain I have well over 10,000 hours logged in for both Destiny 1 & 2 combined, that’s because I honestly fell in love with the game universe, even if I didn’t agree with the direction it’s going to at times. Destiny 1 had a certain charm that Destiny 2 couldn’t replicate. I’m hoping that Sony can bring back by starting again from the ground up.

I kept saying this was Bungo end !! The arrogance of the studio finally bit them in their -blam!- !!

The Final Shite living up to its name

It will all end with Marathon. That’s when the rest of the Vice Presidents collect their bonuses. They may keep Bungie as a token studio in name only but it’s already over. Bungie don’t have big plans anymore - they are running a skeleton crew until marathon comes out. Sony takes the top dev talent. Bungie leaders take their bonuses. Sony sells the Destiny assets to Microsoft. Destiny is over.

For the umpteenth time, my post referencing their social agenda has been deleted. And still the ninjas refuse to accept reality!

l been telling ya all along ,bungies increase in mechanics and difficulty only was good for the top 10% of players. but bungie doubled down on it and killed the game. streamers should of kept there yacking down for more difficulty it not only killed destiny it runs them out of a job.

Cause and effect. Make idiotic decisions, bad stuff happens. 🤷‍♂️

This line from old man Pete pissed me off more than anything else [quote]Let’s unpack how we ended up in this position; it’s important to understand how we got here. [/quote] We already know how we got in this position, Peter. Y’all prioritized a little extra money via your precious Eververse over a loyal and invested playerbase that has supported this franchise since its inception. That’s how we got here.

Insert shocked Pikachu face here. Saddest thing about is that the least talented of them (Bungie leadership) ruined it for the most talented of them. AAA studios seem to be screwing the pooch all over the world.

This culminated in today where a side project was taken in by sony and these layoffs (keep in mind around a vast majority of these layoff will be moved to Sony. This isn’t because of TFS its because of OTHER reasons but go off get info wrong Bungie is in no danger just they needed a restructuring of projects and employees and that just happened
