Going toe to toe with terrifying greedy millionaires sounds like a great expansion.

I wonder what the raid would be?? Maybe we have to infiltrate Parson's garage and destroy it?

I'd play that.

Anyways, #FuckPeteParsons, #FuckSony, Fuck the Bungie executives.

“Actually says something” - missed the point entirely. The problem is that y’all think saying something means saying it on twitter which is silly and detrimental. Y’all clearly have not gone toe to toe with greedy millionaires that only care about their legacy. They are terrifying

[Joker @DSR_Joker]

Remember, folks, it wasn't the DCV, the recycled content, the shit new player experience, the lies, the mismanagement of the Destiny IP, it wasn't the wasteful spending, the 11th-hour reboots, and the anti-consumer practices...
It was, drumroll, please...
The content creators

Disrespectfully @Sony @PlayStation

FUCK YOU .... Y'all clowns cant make a good live service game but end up neutering a studio that actually can.

@hermenhulst .... Y'all cant make a live service game thats successful without Bungie

HUGE MISTAKE

[Vinny @VFreeholio]

@PaliNewsNetwork Only good IDF is a dead IDF.

[Legendary Drops @ALegendaryDrops]

Sony will shut down this studio.

Destiny won't have a team to make another game, Marathon is already dead, and no projects are green lit.

Generational fumble by both publisher and studio. The only possible upside of this is that PlayStation stays out of live service forever.

[Ron wright @ronsterd89]

Elon Musk once jokingly offered to end World Hunger, asking how much it would cost as if it would be some incalculable number.
When the UN replied saying 6.6 Billion would be enough to immediately end Famine for the year he never responded, and a few months later bought Twitter for 44 Billion.

You struggle and suffer because people like him are allowed to exist, not because your neighbor is an immigrant.

[Chibirobo1 @chibirobo12]

LOL Sony just threw away their rival to Star Wars as an IP too. Like if you think about it if they invested MORE into Destiny as an IP with other studios working on spinoffs, and also working on huge movies/shows they would most likely been making bank. But NOPE!

[3CH0 @3CH0plays]

Bungie leadership should face some kind of trial and consequence. It feels wildly unfair that the majority of the problem-creators get off free, while those that genuinely cared and tried are now unemployed and the Destiny community is left without future support.

[John Ebenger @EbengerJohn]

The entire Cinematic org was included. Let me know if you're looking to pick up a Director and/or other talented cine folks at any level.

[Mæster Gekko @MGecko117]

Hermen Hulst is the guy who thought Concord would be “the future of PlayStation,” pushed for the panic acquisition of Bungie, and greenlit the development of Horizon: Hunters Gathering instead of a Killzone reboot. Under his leadership, Sony Interactive Entertainment have seen over $1B in value destruction, including ~$765M in impairment losses and ~$400M from the Concord / Firewalk failure. He is a walking, talking financial hazard to the entertainment industry

[rosie🔜GCX @rosoddle]

If any game companies were looking to make a game that tries to fill destinys space for a FPS MMO, you now have every single incredible person you need looking for a job

[DrDevil87 @DrDevil87]

@Noellenarwhal They shouldn't have let him in, I'm more pissed about that than anything else.

[TeeBee @JustTeeBee]

- Worked with Herman on dogshit Killzone which got cancelled and mocked for years in the gaming industry
- Politic'd his way up the ranks in Bungie just like Herman did in sony, almost identically
- Now appointed by Herman personally to run bungie

lmao its all an insider gang

[#1 Dredgen Bael Defender @destiny_thememe]

"Over the past few months" yeah. Months of keeping the devs in the dark and letting them work on what they thought would be the next release while they planed to shut everything down. No transparency, just throwing devs under the bus then pretend to care about them afterwards.

[Zyron Kai 猟師 🇨🇺 • #CubaLibre @TheExoticGuard_]

Fuck the C Suite at Bungie. Fuck Herman Hults and his fake ass. Fuck Jim Ryan and his utter bullshit. Fuck all of them. Fuck them. Genuinely fuck them all.

[Crusader II Elessar @Crusader3456]

Hermsn Hulst is one of the worst leaders in gaming. Under his leadership of Playstation Studios which began in 2019, we have seen projects stall out, studios die, and acquisitions evaporate.

[name is blank @CrowsofCrows]

Greed, awful management, and capitalism killing the best pve shooter of all time

[Jake Parker @JakeParkerLIVE]

Alright, so now that we can confirm Bungie leadership was indeed involved in every step of deciding to end Destiny, I’ve got some unfiltered thoughts.

-The content vault was the sole destroyer of all positive momentum and sentiment for the game when players now had to spend money on new expansions every year or two with an inherent fear that content would be vaulted anyways. “Pay for access” is the death of player investment and the DCV highlighted itself as the most destructive decision ever made in any game to-date.

-Destiny 3 should’ve been green-lit immediately after the Witch Queen, Lightfall, and Final Shape reveals in 2020 and 2021. It would’ve been the perfect lead-in for concluding Destiny 2. They knew the saga was concluding with Final Shape and the game was becoming too bloated. Had they decided to do so, they could’ve announced Destiny 3’s release at this very moment 5-6yrs later. It also would’ve been the perfect bargaining chip to PlayStation for the acquisition by showing longevity of an established and secure IP with a clear title release forthcoming.

-I can guarantee a very large base of players will decide to avoid this “new journey” in Bungie if it isn’t Destiny 3. This demographic of players over the last 10yrs are Destiny fans who spent the last decade exclusively in Destiny - even bringing their kids to enjoy. For sure, you’ll have many who will try whatever comes next, but if it isn’t Destiny, you’re going to have a very large gap.

-Marathon’s “strong foundation” is grossly over-exaggerated. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a very good game that plays unbelievably well and perfectly emanates the identity of Bungie, but its retention concerns are so evident that to deny its existence is damaging. An extremely large portion of marathon players migrated from Destiny and are the core audience to consider here. To Shut down their original game with no plan in sight while saying “we have this instead” will not produce positive results. If marathon wants to succeed beyond its extraction mode, it needs a world built like Destiny, told like Destiny, and world-shaped from the marathon lore that’s been build since the 1990’s.

-If Destiny 3 is not in development and they have no plans to continue the franchise, sell the rights to another reputable studio who believes in the IP and will keep it alive. Destiny is arguably the best looter shooter that defined a literal genre and to abandon development of one of the biggest established IP’s in history is a terrible business decision.

-All of this stems from terrible decision making from the top-down. The game went from creating one of the greatest gaming worlds and stories ever made over the last decade to dollar signs and spreadsheets first. Game success comes from building a full experience that players cannot help but be immersed in.

Blaming “industry shifts” for a game struggling is code for “we aren’t getting it right on our end because we’re making the wrong decisions at the wrong time.”

The players haven’t changed; the reason for developing a game did.

I’m angry. I’m frustrated. I’m sad. I’m hurt. I’m lost. Destiny was home for over 10yrs.

I’ll see y’all in the tower.

the people who made deep stone crypt and last wish and kings fall and vespers host no longer have jobs because some rich guys who dont even play games wanted to spend the money on themselves and cars instead of their employees and the game they were supposed to manage
