It started right before Lightfall. Speaking to the massive instability issues.... Silence for months... through almost 2 fiscal quarters. Then we got the weird 🙃"server upgrade" explanation... which didn't make sense because the same thing that's happening now HAS been happening. So... now through 3 fiscal quarters, the year ends with September.... How much grace does Bungie have left per their independent operating agreement? I love this game... that's why I'm speaking out. You're (Bungie) are being tactically & maliciously disrupted to undermine your independent control. 2 parties could benefit from this: 1. Malicious 3rd Party actors (cheat devs, hardware addon devs) & 2. Sony... full stop. If it's the latter... the game is dead. If it's the latter (and you're a Bungie dev) the best time to blow the whistle/speak up would be now while Ryan's conduct and ethics are still fresh in everyone's mind from what came out in the FTC trial. If you have any leverage... the time is now. I've been barely able to play the last couple weeks. It's going to be sad if it ends this way. Someone needs to email Casey Hudson... get him on the phone, he might have an interesting perspective on these issues. Casey Hudson, formerly studio head of Bioware, that signed an independent operating agreement with EA... then lost everything because Andy Wilson signed that deal in bad faith... took everything. Maybe that's not happening... but the circumstances are eerily similar. Most of the senior devs put on Anthem (Marathon) with the least experienced devs left overworked & understaffed to develop Mass Effect Andromeda (Final Shape). This is WHY I'm worried. I'm already kinda checked out... the user metrics are most definitely tanking. I'll deal with jankiness... Starfield, lol... but if I can't play... if people can't play, it's over. AND... it's so depressing... so many are here to watch the house burn down. AND... the gaming media isn't really covering it.... That's dire & depressing. You know I think I can pinpoint the mortal error... it was bringing D2 to PC, you weren't ready for it... your game wasn't built for it. You were always playing defense & catch-up... you allowed (for way too long) the integrity of the product to be attacked, compromised, & undermined. You allowed investment to continue amongst these 3rd party marketplaces for years before you acted. It's so much easier to prevent an infestation of rats before it starts... as it starts. That's IF it's malicious 3rd parties. If that that's the case, the game needs new network infrastructure... if you can't do that, maybe the game goes PvE ONLY... but I don't know if that would change anything now. I'm more worried about this game, its Devs, & studio than I've ever been. So, there's that... back to Starfield & Cyberpunk I guess 😢. This whole situation is sad.
