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

But because Bethesda, queen of glitchy, broken games, actually put their time and effort into fixing 76, listening to their players wants, offering a PTS to help with fixing things, the game is still alive and kicking and, dare I say, good. Running on a relic game engine no less. And yes, before anyone says "Well yeah but they have the boost from the Fallout shows success," news flash. The show happened long after Bethesda decided to listen to their players and fix their trash pile. Now, with the success of the show, it only behooves them to put even more time and effort in 76 and make it even better since Fallout 5 isn't happening anytime soon. The point I'm trying to make here is the difference between one greedy, shady corporation and another. While Bethesda has done its due diligence working with the player base, Bungie has fought us all from the start. Their "listening" to us included giving us rinse repeat content, game modes no one asked for, nerfing the fun out of pretty much every fun build or gun ever, nearly unanimously hated characters and poorly written story content (don't even act like you don't know what I'm talking about.) And above it all, mismanagement from the top all along the way. Hope Greedy Petey really loves those cars and knows that his horrific management is driving his gravy train into the grave. What goes around, comes around, and I have a feeling Greedy Petey is going to get it good in time.
