Destiny is truly dead, huh...
For me, this was bigger than Marvel, Star Wars, Transformers, Batman, or anything else. This is what I loved the most, and now it’s just… gone. I don’t know how I’m supposed to deal with a world without Destiny.
It’s one of the most, if not the most beautiful universes I’ve ever been a part of.
I was so privileged to experience it blossom.
I’m gonna miss this part of my life so much. My best friends are because of this game…

What is this business strategy called?
Beware of under-delivery
When you stretch out storylines, drip-feed content, and ask players to pay more while receiving less, you’re sending a clear message: the players come second.
Success isn’t built by maximizing revenue at the expense of your community. It’s built on trust.
The fans who supported your game from the beginning are the reason your franchise exists. Destiny included.
Under-delivering erodes that trust. Brand loyalty takes years to earn and only moments to lose.
Treat your most loyal players well. Surprise them. Reward them. Give them moments like Monument of Triumph that remind them why they fell in love with the game in the first place.
Not everything should be locked behind a paywall. Somewhere along the way, Bungie lost sight of that.
Your developers are not disposable.
Building a world-class team takes years of investment, trust, and experience. Bungie’s developers, artists, writers, and community managers helped create one of gaming’s most beloved franchises.
If accountability is needed, it should start with leadership… not the people doing the work.
Great games aren’t built by constantly tearing down the foundation. They’re built by empowering talented teams, giving them the resources to succeed, and letting them create something special.
When you invest in your people, that’s where the magic happens.
I hope Bungie finds its way.
I want to see the entire team succeed and continue building Destiny for many years to come.
But that will require meaningful changes at the top. The studio needs new leadership and a renewed vision.
The entire leadership team needs to go starting with the studio heads.
Too many mistakes have been made, and the damage to both Destiny and Bungie’s reputation cannot be erased.
The developers, artists, writers, and community teams have shown time and again what they’re talented and capable when given the support and resources to succeed. To build a better Destiny.
Sony leadership needs to recognize that investing in great games isn’t an expense, it’s the foundation of long-term success.
Strong franchises generate value for players, developers, shareholders, and the company itself.
Destiny remains one of the most recognizable live-service franchises in gaming. With the right leadership, the right investment, and a commitment to Destiny, it can continue to thrive for years to come.
The players deserve it. The developers deserve it. And ultimately, it’s in everyone’s best interest for Bungie and Destiny to succeed.
Per Audacia Ad Astra.
I’ve sat thinking on this for weeks since evrything was announced. Its puzzled me, especially seeing as Destiny 2 hit number 1 seller on Steam last week, and showing up all over the gaming community. However, if Sony really just has a hard on to kill everything from the Jim Ryan era, then I’m concerned about Destiny/Marathon servers a year out from now.
So, we've been seeing some interesting videos where Guardians are doing near infinite damage to bosses thanks in part to unintended Artifact perk stacking. Quite hilarious to watch, to be honest!
While we're planning a fix (next week likely), we think this is a bit fun. Go ahead. Get out there, beat up on Atheon. Destroy some bosses. Do your thing.
Just to note: we will be disabling Artifacts in Crucible/Gambit to protect Guardians from being on the receiving end of this.
We tried to come up with a name. The Artifactening? Sure. Why not. If you have a better suggestion... throw it our way.
All in all, it's Monument of Triumph. Do some crazy stuff. Send us your videos. Have some fun. Be Brave.
Destiny 2 got a lot of flak over the years,
But it truly provided some of the best gaming experiences of the past decade.
And I'm so glad this is the game I got addicted to 🥲
