Do not rejoice. It’s never a good thing when an acquiring company usurps the management of their buyout. No way they understand the nuances of a game they didn’t create or the nature of the player base or match the passion of the original creators. While Destiny is shedding players daily and almost wantonly building player animosity, I doubt Sony has the chops to step in and right the ship. That said, if the game stays as it is, easy steady cash for Sony for a little while at least, but if I’m on the sidelines, so are tens of thousands of other lapsed players Bungie has lost touch with. Sure, you can champion the game as it is (I wouldn’t), after all, it’s still monetarily successful, but it could be even more so. It could require all those lapsed players (me included) and their MONEY$$$. I’m on Xbox with literally zero competition for Destiny and I still won’t pay to play for this tripe anymore. I pine for the destiny of old, and I would pay handsomely for that experience again, but I doubt Sony leadership would get us there and Bungie has certainly lost their way IMO… 😕

    Maybe rejoice? I like most of what you said. The takeover happened 2 yrs ago... and as of Q1 of 2025 they officially said Bungie is a 1st party studio. Sony wasn't going to invest, especially in light of the losses of Concord & Lego Horizon... the failed live service initiative without 2 things: 1. Recovering from those losses 2. Recouping most if not all of the purchase price It's called "risk assessment and analysis". Solvency promotes growth and allows for investment... Loss and "debt" do not... using the term 'debt' respective the cost to purchase Bungie. Those losses have been covered. And it looks like Sony covered that 'debt' too. In addition, a top performer amongst their 1st party portfolio. A top performer despite having the worst networking and security in the history of the franchise. Coming off the culmination of a 10-year saga with massive systematic changes... a smaller expansion with significantly less content, at least to start... And the worst morale and community sentiment probably ever. These are markers for potential growth. Or more as we found out. 40% growth in net profits when the game is arguably in the worst state it's ever been. I don't think that... but it's a reasonable assessment. So, you invest. You fix all that stuff. More money. You integrate as they have done for some of their most successful franchises. Upper-level management becomes redundant (the money men) because production is diversified and de-centralized. You keep the creative talent and add to it both at Bungie proper and satellite studios complimenting them. If the engine is now capable of being run on dedicated servers... you do that. Sony also knows about other media and merchandising. You do that. So.. maybe rejoice? I'm not saying that it is happening... but all signs point to it could happen. Likely to happen. 😇👍💠

    I’m just gonna preface this by saying I don’t care what you agree with or decide is palatable about my comments regarding your fantasy about this game and your weird baiting and personal attacks when you can’t provide real facts. My comments are my own and are 100% dead on as a player. Don’t mansplain or geeksplain how Sony bought the franchise years ago and blah blah blah…no kidding. You provide smoke and hazy facts or personal attacks always. I don’t think I mentioned the Sony acquisition was a new thing, so don’t posit it that way at all. No way this game is behaving in a way the purchasing agreement had guaranteed. That said, when Sony fully absorbs or kills Bungie after their failure to meet the buyout expectations, this game is done. I wish it wasn’t, but prolly so. We might be same side, but you’re too stalky, weird and scary… sorry. Edited for grammar

    From the very beginning... So weird. I said I like your pompadour. You made baseless regurgitated claims manipulated by a hate baiting media... You knew that would become obvious, because you do not play the game... so you hid your profile, but forgot about Destiny Tracker where your account pic, that must be uploaded... is just your hair. And your social media... like Instagram. You further made the claim that Bungie exploited their player base for money. I explained that the hair care and cosmetic's industry is so much worse. I certainly found that amusing, but I don't care what you do with your hair bud. It wasn't a personal attack... you internalized that. It wasn't meant as an insult at all... it was meant to expose your hypocrisy. And the only reason I'm looking people up... is that you 🫵 can't rationally have an opinion... and yours was gregarious, without having experienced what you were lambasting. When you combine those 2 facts together? I identified that behavior as pretentious. It was. That you're regurgitating negative hyperbolics & knowingly tried to hide it. People are allowed to enjoy life however they want, or should, without people trying to **** in their cornflakes. That's why you're here. You enjoy or get some catharsis from bringing others down. I don't like that. I called it out. I showed you a mirror... that's why your hairstyle is relevant... because it is outside the "norm"... but who cares, you enjoy it. I would wager that you probably experienced grief from people trolling you from an irrational and toxic perspective, no doubt. That's the mirror. Like you coming here or commenting to me... as you did from an irrational, and toxic perspective. Here, I thought you made some good comments, & I wanted to explain to you how business works. The links I provided, the metrics I provided are directly cited from Sony communications with shareholders... AND are facts. You want the game to fail per your ego, that's it. You feel wronged and are obsessed... And the behavior is weird. Remember you engaged with me first. Aren't you glad you did? 😇👍💠

    If weird personal attacks are your only defense, then heck yeah, I am fully behind my criticism of the game. WTF does your weird and creepy take on a picture of my bed head I posted for fun have to do with the state of this game? A game that I used to love? You can DM me for personal pics if you really want to love on my appearance, but none of that makes this game any better. You really need to do better. Your personal attacks on people wanting better from this game are creepy. You kinda seem dangerous. Can you discuss the game and my critiques without attacking some weird fantasy you have created around me? Let’s talk about how we can make this once amazing game amazing again! Seriously…you make me sad. Edited for grammar.

  • I need some wall of text personal attack from you as you are wont to do and to tell me why I cannot be disappointed in a game once loved. Go ahead. Tell me my flaws, make fun of my hair, make fun of anything but this fading game and why it deserves my money. Why should I spend my money? Tell me why I should spend my money…

    Also you mostly agreed with me until I baited you. Which shows how much you need to be right! You are not
