Massive layoffs at bungie game mess mornings
Giant bomb podcast
Starts about 4-5 mins in, lasts about 25 mins, very good info, trusted gaming journalist who's spoken to people high up inside all parties.
TLDR:
Parsons not leaving but Herman hulst now has final say on every big decision, so Sony in charge.
'Payback' new destiny game/D3 cancelled indefinitely
D2 content going forward will be very light as far less people to work on it
No more expansions going forward, new name is content packs, much lighter content.
Marathon aimed at 2025 & all bungie are betting on
Gummy bears still a project, moba, but it's now a Sony game so PSN exclusive, working out of bungie studios but no longer bungie employees.
150 staff told to move to Sony studios with no clue were they're going it what they're doing.
Sony & Bungie see destiny as in a death spiral, no way back. If marathon flops bungie cease to be.

1 ReplyToo bad that they did not listen to players last year. th9is whole thing could have been averted if they had just listened. Alas, I feel it is the end of Bungie. I feel zero remorse for those losing their jobs, they did this to themselves. Pushing the LGBTQ agenda Making things so hard players are not having fun Failing to fix critical issues, server issues, PVP, gambit A ton of stuff that just needs fixed - bugs, flashing vendors that NEVER stop. I say good riddance.

Not going to lie, I hope Marathon fails as hard as is possible. They've pissed the money I spent in prior years on Destiny screwing around with unrelated PvP nonsense and I do hope it lands on its face right out the gate.

This company is toast!🤣🤣🤣 I will not buy Marathon or any other game this company will come up with after what they’ve done here. It’s a massacre!🤣🤣🤣 These guys don’t own their behinds anymore, Sony does. And yes, Sony will take over. This company is caput!!! 🤣🤣🤣 A complete disaster! 🤣🤣🤣 Absolutely nothing here but a shamble mess of shallowness!

[quote]Sony & Bungie see destiny as in a death spiral, no way back.[/quote] It is ours now... All the no-lifes had to do was no-life until everyone else faded away.

2 RepliesThem putting all the eggs into the Marathon basket just shows how lost they truly are

1 Reply[quote]Sony & Bungie see destiny as in a death spiral, no way back.[/quote] There's a way back but they refuse to acknowledge their part in the mistakes. They always blame the players, like with their server connection error codes. We all have no problems with other games, yet when we can't connect to destiny it's "our internet". If BNG can acknowledge their social experiment didn't work and focus on players and fun content, there's still a whole universe to explore.

2 RepliesIf they aren't doing any expansions going forward, then this game is officially on life support. People will probably stick around for the rest of the year since they already bought in. But after that? I don't see many people sticking around much longer.
-
Wow. Content packs, no d3, no more expansions. I wonder how this is all gonna go. But id say probably not good.
-
How much lighter can content get? I can’t wait to see the first episode with even less to do in it.

1 ReplyThis game won't survive on content packs. Destiny 2 should have ended with the final shape.

Who’s that cave man talking about video games

4 RepliesMarathon will flop of that I’m very sure

I will never play marathon because they completely changed it from the original idea. I honestly feel like quitting Destiny 2 now. definitely not grinding for anything anymore, maybe casual mindless play will be more fun anyway for the time being. sad but eventually things change.

6 RepliesThis is how I view it. [b][u]IF #1 (Destiny2)[/u][/b] If they just manage to upkeep the current non-seasonal stuff (ritual playlists..vendors..dares..etc).. make the seasonal events and Iron Banner top-level.. bring back a few old content things on a rotator and every once in a while a content drop.. and this is all able to [u]keep up a meaningful population[/u].. I see it as better even than the current state. [b][u]IF #2 (Marathon)[/u][/b] If they add "normal" PVP type game-modes it has a chance. Not interested in the extraction shooter portion.. but regular PVP with similar movement/gun-feel.. in the new game.. its got a chance.

3 Repliesbtw, OP it says "error in playback"
-
Payback was never gonna be a D3 considering Frontiers is a leak that all of D1 is going into D2 and D2 was gonna receive a complete overhaul It makes NO sense to make a D3 since that would mean no more D2 and after the work id take to pull of frontiers that makes no sense. Id more then likely be a Destiny spin off game
