It has begun :(

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)

    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 Destiny 2 is severely outdated, but that isn’t going to keep Sony from polishing this franchise as one of its flagship titles.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.
