Hi well since uh, commissions arenโt happening for a while, I guess itโs time for a new pinned tweet.
So Hi! Weโre MerriMyrder, but we normally just go by Myrder, and weโre a DID system! Meaning that thereโsโฆ a lot of us here, so we figured an intro to some of us could be good
These gamesโindustry layoffs break my heart. So many brilliant, passionate people are being pushed out while execs chase shortโterm gains.
Players donโt want soulless titles โ we want the humans behind them to thrive. Wake up. ๐๐พ
Feeling unending despair as I continually see Destiny 2 posts like โthis was a really good and fun feature I liked it a lotโ and then seeing a dev comment something like โwe actually had to sacrifice our children to management to get this in the gameโ over and over
still thinking about the time an exec told me to my face that single-player games were dead and only live service were profitable
funny how that worked out
"When Destiny was profitable, those extra funds were often immediately misused by leadership at the time, funneled into way too many simultaneous incubation projects or ideas like spending tens of millions on a new, unneeded 208,000 square foot headquarters."
I knew it lol
The last week has been difficult. Please continue to focus on those impacted by the reduction in force.
The industry is in a scary place right now employment wise. Wishing the best to all who need it, and hope to help where possible.
Many people reached out. I'm still at Bungie and I take no pride or relief in that statement. So many talented people were laid off this week and it genuinely hurts to see all these lives impacted. The Bungie I fell in love with was built by those people. That loss is real.
Hey all, it looks like my time at Bungie is over for now. Iโm glad Iโve been able to stay with Destiny until the end. Iโm proud of the work Iโve done, and I never thought I would get to make things that last in the Destiny universe. See ya, Guardians!
To all guardians in the field:
On 7/7, we run it back. One last Bungie Day on the books. Show Sony we're still here. Show them the audience they're missing out on
Show the devs how much you appreciate their work.
Show everyone what Legends are made of.

It was my honor to fight for players for ~4 years (and also hide out in game) as a QA Lead.
Commendations. Fireteam Finder. Activities and Events (Too Many).
๐คGot to work with some fantastic people and rock out.
virtus ex nihilo
Its still so shocking to me how quickly it all just blew up
It wasnt but a little more than a month ago that we were right about to hear about the update and shattered cycle and the future
And then in what felt like a blink the game is done, no D3, and half the company is gone
Itโs been one hell of a ride, yโall. I have been impacted by todayโs layoffs. Iโm not sure what to say other than thank you so much for being a part of our worlds. I am so beyond grateful to have contributed to a tiny part of them. I hope they inspired you.
Ad Astra, Et Ultra.
So basically Sony shut Destiny 2 down because they felt threatened by its overwhelming presence, and they obviously canโt make new successful live services if Destiny 2 is still in the pictureโฆ
โฆIs that the message between the lines that Iโm understanding correctly?
If your pissed about the abrupt end of Destiny 2 as I am, you haven't seen anything yet.
We're gonna get non stop stories from the now fired devs about all the awesome stuff they wanted to do and the management and c-suite said 'No'
Stories, loot, game mechanics, all of it
