MORE SPIDER-MAN x FORTNITE COMING THIS SEASON
So far we only have confirmation of the Mythic Gloves returning to BR (& for Power Hours), but there's a high chance for a collab with 'Brand New Day' next month.
Alright, so. My sources (Bungie, not Sony), on the "Sony revenge" storyline:
- The impression is that this reported info *probably* comes from PlayStation employee observers, not anyone high up with significant knowledge of leadership's mindset.
- Some at PlayStation have "publicly wondered" why D2 is ending support, but keep in mind there are like 12K people working there.
- This is almost entire financial, simply Destiny 2 cost more than it made. Math. Cruel math, but math. No one at Bungie has any belief this is some "revenge" idea.
- It is obvious to everyone Bungie has not performed well and it is not exactly Sony's golden child. But this idea that Sony is blaming Bungie for Concord and all the rest of the live stuff is a huge reach. Sony isn't doing this to "punish" Bungie for some transgression via its live service plans or game underperformance.
- Despite atomizing Destiny 2 support to the point where there won't even be hotfixes, there are zero plans to wind down actual servers.
So take anything too hyperbolic with a giant pile of salt. Like the basics may be true, Bungie didn't live up to what Sony wanted, some employees working at PS may not understand or like this move, but this isn't as cloak and dagger as it's being portrayed. It's corporate, albeit that is obviously its own kind of bad. I'll probably have a piece or vid on all this tomorrow, but I see this spreading like wildfire.
Sometimes I wished I played when forsaken released. I did get to play it during the Shadowkeep year but it would have been nice to experience that alongside the community.
Being asked about this a lot. I don’t know anything about the guy who is saying this, so I can’t vouch. I’m looking into it on my end. Not quite sure about the “revenge killing for Sony’s live service push failing” framing, but who knows
🚨 NEW: Sony leadership reportedly has a "desire for revenge" against Bungie over issues with its live service strategy, with "internal resistance/strong pushback" at PlayStation over the decision to end Destiny 2 live service support - https://t.co/ThhqFlelo0
