SONY IGNORES YOU UNTIL YOU PRESS CANCEL.
the community begged for answers and got silence. then thousands started canceling PS Plus and suddenly the cancel screen got very generous.
- up to 50% off at the cancellation screen reported on Essential, Extra AND Premium, 1-month and 3-month plans
- 12-month plans get 25% instead
- screenshots span the US, Europe and Hong Kong but the offer is targeted: some see it, some don't
- cancel discounts existed before (25% back in January) - 50% is new
- today PlayStation broke its five-day social media silence... with a fight stick ad
not one word about discs. not one reply to the community.
188.000 signatures bought silence. one cancel button bought 50% off.
now you know where to aim.

The man himself @Aztecross told the Destiny community what our only hope is... and it's for all the Bungie developers who’ve left over the years to create their own studio and build their own game.
It won't give us a Destiny of course but it could give us the same magic... ima still use the # s.

They CANNOT be closing down Destiny 2 with no clear plans for the future of the franchise & laying off almost half Bungie's staff while "wanting live-service games to define their future".
Actual joke man.

Destiny 2 players organize “Server Slam” as some call for a Sony boycott
The Destiny 2 community is encouraging players to log in on Bungie Day, July 7, for one final “Server Slam.”
They want to celebrate the game one last time and overwhelm the servers.
Players are calling for a Sony boycott to send a message following the end of major development and support only for Marathon

It could still happen, though I'm not holding my breath. Neither should anyone else. First, Sony has to complete the current Destiny 2 purge, completely realign all the remaining resources and fully stabilize their game plan for Marathon. Next, they have to architect their long-term plans for the Destiny franchise. Will there be new Destiny IPs? If so, which platforms?
If Destiny is going to move forward they will force-rank selections based on profitability forecasts. If one or more of the IPs is forecasted to hit their metrics—and there is still an appetite for developing Destiny within the Sony PlayStation universe—it will be greenlit. If Sony decides that Destiny has no future within their corporation, they might sell parts or all of the IP.
At least, from a purely business perspective that's how I see it.
At this point my biggest hope is they keep enough of a team around to keep Destiny from falling in on itself while they figure out what the fuck they want to do.
I keep thinking about this and it has me so angry.
You had one of the biggest live service games that was infected by mismanagement. With proper care it could have recovered and thrived and in a few years you could have the income you desire had you have listened to the devs that were so obviously passionate about their work.
Yet you took it out back and shot it with the layoffs, and then turn and spit in our faces with this message “revitalising the market”.
@hermenhulst, @sony / @PlayStation - my money and support will go elsewhere. You have another hater :)

This is a recall notice for guardians at home and abroad.
On 7/7, we run it back. For the friends we've made, loved ones we've lost, and the devs who sacrificed buckets of blood for this game, return this Bungie Day.
