You know that’s actually a pretty good analogy.
That divided them too. Some had hope the traveller would come back, while others became bitter, resentful and hoped everything the traveller touched next would die.
Did we actually beat the witness (bungie/Sony)... or only tricked... trapped in the final shape(post marathon)... abandoned by the traveler (the brilliant devs that got laid off)... and so the collapse looms once more (first Halo now destiny)...
Left to be overwhelmed by the hive (toxic players) the vex (bots and cheaters) and the fallen (gatekeeping elitist)...
