Luke Smith Do You Want Destiny to Fail? (Honest question).
Not everyone can be Joe Staten, but you dont need to be the worse lead in the history of the game industry either! I knew it that with the last year depature of Joe Blackburn there was absolutely nothing left at the so called Bungie studio.
Now it became the Luke Smith Studio a Kotaku editor and former WoW pro who kept falling upwards when other people left the companie. And tada now he is the leader and therefore this game has had and will have a smaller change of redemption then games like Fallout 76, Final Fantasy A Realm Reborn and even Anthem!
I play videogames for over 22 years and the decision making in Destiny (a Triple A game) is handsdown the ... ..... .worse I have ever seen.
The Destiny franchise could have been easilly settled between the top 5 most played games on console. Instead it dropped out of the top 50 multiple times. It so sad and actually straight capital destruction! Activision jumped ship, because Destiny a top 5 competitor dropped under games like Spider Man and Batman as most streamed games, when those games were already out for more then a year, older single player games did better! Even the last year COD did beter....
What is Bungie worth now in the eyes of the Bungie veterans? Or the Destiny veterans or worse in the eyes of the new generation of gamers?
All the Fortnite teenagers don't even know what Destiny is anymore and the generation before kept telling me: the game is boring you cant play how you want and it is expensive!
No it is free for the most part and you will think people will try it left and right and they did. But then Luke's team had to come up with seasons and time gated content and as a cherry on the cake the bountie carousel! Do you guys want the Destiny franchise to fail? Do you hate your jobs so much? Please tell us, why do you do everything you shouldnt? Do you guys want this to fail? Are you so blind that you keep pushing the game to the direction nobody wanted it to be!
Even a 8 year old told me: they just need to Make the game fun and run good...
That's it....

I think he lacks the leadership and long term game plan to make destiny what it should be. The game lacks competition so Bungie as whole has become complacent. Bungie’s complacency was probably a big factor in the Activision split. Look how many times they have pushed back content and haven’t made schedules. I can’t do that in my career. Most careers you have to find a way to progress and overcome. Bungie is the opposite regress and underachieving is the constant.
Activision is the better company and better decision makers hands down. The evidence since the split shows overwhelmingly Activision is superior as a company.
