Sadly this is TRUTH.... I pre-ordered Borderlands 3 $109 version after this TWAB,

Activision takes the blame for cut/stretched content and eververse but bungie is to blame for everything else.

Actually activision is still tied to this next dlc dropping on June 4th. After that Bunjie is free to do what they want. The two studios that are under activision vicarious visions and the other I forget the name are still working with Bunjie right up until it drops. Stay positive guardians!

activision i believe hasnt seperated just yet. also, i think destiny 2's biggest problem was duedates; bungo delayed halo CE i was told and look at how that succeeded. a delayed game will eventually be good, but a rushed game is bad forever.

To be fair, Activision is a parasite, Bungie just turned out to be a poor host.

I've been saying it for years. Activision may be terrible people... Objectively.... A cancer on the gaming industry, and for note, I do not use that term jokingly, I use it in the manner it is intended, a corrupting disease that causes significant harm to the body of gaming fans as a whole. But no matter how much I dislike them, Bungie has always been squarely responsible for Destiny. All Activision did was set contractual revenue goals, Bungie was the one responsible for the decisions that would effect how those revenue goals were reached. So every decision that you've ever disliked about the direction of destiny?......... All of that was bungie. Activision gave Bungie the boot because it became clear they were no longer capable of regaining the core player base. People argue with me but I have a firm suspicion that an Activision rep showed up at Bungie headquarters flanked with Activision legal, walked past the Pete Parson's secretary ignoring their protests, shoved the door open, made a statement, laid a check that had already been written out on Parson's desk, shoved a pen into his hand, then snatched the signed check of his desk before the ink was even dry and left without saying another word. At which time Activision's commitment to Destiny ended. Bungie might have "celebrated" having full control over their ip... Because... You can't really be seen publicly running around screaming like the world is coming to an end. But there isn't a chance in hell they legitimately wanted to be saddled with this. People don't really seem to get what a publisher does. And a developer is not going to be happy to have their publisher tell them to go -blam!- them selves. Warframe has managed to self publish all this time because they have always survived on word of mouth advertising and a fanatically invested player base that keeps coming back over and over. And also, as much money as they make, they have never claimed to be a AAA developer, people take Warframe for what it is, they don't have high expectations. Destiny? Destiny does not fit into that mold. They're now self publishing, and they don't have any idea how to do that. It is however an interesting question as to rather or not Bungie now has control over the original destiny ip as well because now it means they could arguably combine the two games content into one game if they so desired which would double the amount of endgame content and strikes available for play...

Never thought I'd say this, because Activision is the nemesis of gaming, but I respect their decision to leave. Bungie just surpassed the reputation of Activision. That's an embarrasment.

When they left bungie, you know the shit is not going well. They flat out said no money was being made from D2 and that is a horrible game. Luke smith had to come out and say we are proud of our game. Shit sucks, especially when on reddit, fanboys are defending the nerfs. Activision executive Coddy Johnson said that Destiny had not seen a “full core re-engage” during a disappointing earnings call in November 2018, in which Activision blamed Destiny 2’s underperformance for its own poor financial results. After Activision shaded Destiny 2 on its earnings call, the game’s director, Luke Smith, fired back on Twitter: “We are not disappointed with Forsaken. We set out to build a game that Destiny players would love, and at Bungie, we love it too.”

That next annual pass ain't gonna sell might as well drop D3 next year even tho it's to early but at this point idt no one buying the next pass.

I’m waiting until we actually see the patchnotes, instead of a few (mostly) justified nerfs, before I cast judgement. I’m willing to bet money sleeper was due to a new encounter in the new raid. The exotic armor was obviously going to get nerfed, but I’m waiting to see by how much. Whisper is the only one I don’t see a reason behind. The whole reason they nerfed it in D1 was because it was a legendary weapon. They then made it an exotic, and didn’t fix the perk. It then comes back in D2 as an exotic with the OLD perk, and then they decide to nerf it, going against their reasoning from back in HoW. This is the one nerf I absolutely don’t agree with.

Bl3 later bl2 playthrough fpr now lol

Why did anyone believe it was Activision? Bungie no longer deserves your good will or money. They need to earn it. Do not preorder next septembers Destiny release or D3.

Looks like someone finally woke up and realized that Activision knew what it was doing when it canceled its business contract with BUNGIE.

Hate activision, I will always love Bungie..

They're nerfs. Not the end of the world.
