People acting like me playing Marathon makes me a traitor to Destiny.
WHERE WERE YOU WHEN I WAS BATTLING THROUGH TRIALS OF CHEAT SIRIS DOING EVERYTHING I COULD TO HOLD THE DESTINY WORLD TOGETHER AND VOUCH FOR ITS PLAYERS WHILE EVERYONE ELSE WENT AND PLAYED/STREAMED OTHER GAMES?!?!?
I NEVER WENT ANYWHERE! I WAS FUCKIN HOLDING MY GROUND AND FIGHTING FOR US! IM THE #1 FLAWLESS PLAYER IN THE WORLD. I CARRIED 4000 PEOPLE TO THE LIGHTHOUSE WHILE OTHERS RAN FROM THE DESTINY WORLD. MOTHAFUCKAS, I BLEED DESTINY. DONT YOU DARE MAKE ME OUT TO BE A TRAITOR.
Did anyone else know that these weapons were projectile-based and not hit scan?
This makes sooo much sense now as to why these felt horrible to use for me.
Definitely gonna try them out now that theyโre hit scan!

In addition to headliner features like Night Marsh and Sentinel, Season 2 brings many improvements to the core experience. Full details to come next week at launch!
Okay, I uploaded this unlisted bc it's easier than uploading to Twitter directly. But here's my full discussion about the ongoing dissent in the Destiny/Marathon communities. Ultimately, this is an exploration of the question: Did Marathon kill Destiny?
Key points in the vid:
- The last Destiny expansion to actually meet sales projections was Witch Queen. The years before and the 4 years after were all years of underperformance. This lead to layoffs. Destiny lost dev support not because they were shifted to Marathon but because they were forced out of the building.
- Some key architects of pivotal moments like Forsaken's weapon system overhaul and the Go Fast update were promptly let go as soon as the product shipped.
- Marathon isn't a Sony cash grab, they would have made a safer bet if it was. Instead, it's a Bungie passion projects where devs put their talent and love into a ballsy move to try to create a game that pushed the boundaries of a niche genre that they saw something special in.
- Players reacted poorly to seasonal and episodic drip style content, leading to many players leaving the game behind. This also stripped old content and left new players confused and lost.
