Where do I start, we've all been on this journey for a long time.
I dont know if I should be angry, sad, or un-surprised to hear Bungie has been sacrificing D2 to fund other projects.Literally YEARS of drama...every expac "its do or die" for the community. Little did we know the pushing of paid event cards, dungeon keys, PAID shaders?!...
was all to fund projects that sound so bad its laughable...3rd person hero based destiny puzzle game? mobile games? Years of cooking on a competitive shooter in a market so saturated concord couldnt even get enough players to become a meme.
Bungie...you had one of the only "successful" live-service games in gaming history.
Maybe just maybe, the expansions sales numbers wouldnt have dropped off if you doubled down like you should have. Instead you've milked a loyal playerbase to fund dumb unwanted projects...When did you decide to betray the fanbase and work on trash incubation projects for years draining all profits away for nothing?
Was it the moon reskin and fetch quests that was shadowkeep? we all came back because forsaken felt like a full dev team that cared, then you betrayed us with that garbage DLC.
All those MTX, expansions, dungeon keys, and not a dime went to future proofing the franchise that carried you...D3 was the answer, not gummibears, marathon, or a fking 3rd person puzzle game.
Free from Activision and any accountability it seems.
Farewell Destiny

6 commentairesTried to tell people. Been gaming since the 80's. My first experience with this shady type of business practice was a game called Defiance created by Trion worlds out of California. They did the same stuff, such as not fixing bugs, not patching exploits and not nerfing over performing guns, pay walling gear or essentials hard to find in game to make certain upgrades to weapons. Soon came a bunch of legal issues for said illicit practices and to weasel out of them they filed for bankruptcy and sold their games to Gamigo. Gamigo also had a pay wall practice and also promised a bunch of stuff that v they never came through on all the while saying big things were around the corner for Defiance while also making some small game improvements to get people to buy stuff while v thinking better days were too come only for v them to say a year layer that c they were pulling the plug. They used Defiance the same way Sony/Bungie is with Destiny; using it as a bankroll.
