I was putting off this cutscene for so long because it only makes the end feel that much more real, but I hit 110 on the pass for the last time ever and it's now been almost a month of Monument of Triumph.

See you starside, Big Blue. Enjoy retirement.
As always RIP to the goat Lance Reddick and thank you to Keith David, for taking up the mantle and seeing this role through to the end.

Let's decide our future, together. #MakeDestiny3

Happy Bungie day.

[Steve Dolan (Satyr) @crazystevied]

I was the on site Bungie representative for this shoot. It was so freaking cool to see the emotes come to life.

So much dance talent in one place. I could have watched the titan popper all night.

[Tetsuya Nomura @TetsuyaNomNom]

In response to trends in the gaming industry, as of April 1st 2027, I will stop going to Square Enix to work physically and appear digitally only.

Employees will be able to download the Tetsuya Nomura APP on their devices with my code 42069 and have me tell them what to do.

Turn datacenters into food banks or something that actually benefits the towns they’re invading, like aeroponic gardens or something.

Just to show you how scummy Sony is being with this news.

They anticipated their numbers would drop through people protesting/boycotting by canceling Ps Plus and pre-orders but they won't have to show their numbers to investors until the end of September.

Their next earnings call is July 31st however it only covers up to June 30th. They planned this out perfectly to drop it on July 1st for this very reason. The numbers dip early July, they have over 2 months to watch them HOPEFULLY recover as the deperate gamers crawl back and the investors see that Sony moving away from physical games didn't hurt anything.

Keep this is mind as we move forward. Sony is betting on you caving and crawling back to them in the coming weeks. Oh and so are the investors.

I'm talking to people - Sony is currently being inundated with emails and messages behind the scenes from smaller publishers and devs voicing their displeasure over the end of physical games.

I'm actually kinda shocked just how much internal backlash there has been to this.

Doubt it'll make a difference, this was apparently a decision made by the money men within the last two months, is 100% influenced by component costs & manufacturing (AI ruining everything again)

They know nobody will buy a $1000+ PS6

They have calculated that the only way the PS6 makes business sense for them right now in terms of margins is to kill both the retail and resale market. Furthermore, they figure people are invested enough in the ecosystem that they're locked-in for life.

They fully expected a huge backlash and took it into account, but they think the anger won't amount to much in terms of real financial losses and are willing to take the PR hit.

Of the 15% of the current PlayStation audience that buy physical, they expect only 2-3% of people not to move over to fully-digital upon being forced.

The money saved by getting rid of the retailer cut, and lost on the reseller market eclipses that 2-3% and makes up for their miniscule profit expected per PS6 sold. (they will not sell it at a loss, but are willing to only make as little as $50 per unit sold)

The only way they'd ever reverse this decision is if the 2-3% of physical audience they expect to lose is instead around 8-10%+

As much as i'd love to see everyone come together and somehow force their hand with a mass boycott, I doubt it will happen.

They have been wanting to kill physical since around 2020, the AI RAMpocalypse has forced their hand.

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.

Oryx will forever be my favorite trans dad. Dear Oryx, come have tea with me sometime and we can talk about how the stars will remember the shape you gave them.

@lobrocop C’mon, Brian, you know Lodi would fit so well in one of those games. 😂😂😂

[Robert Brookes 🩷💜💙 @Sphynxian]

Getting to be the narrative designer to make that first mission in TFS was a huge honor. Loved the buildup to that first boss fight. Everyone on the team cooked so hard to make it as good as we could.

[Joshua David King @joshuadavdking]

Who wants to romance the Taken King? Show of hands…? 🙋🏽

[Heart of Spades @ToneSide]

I can’t even tell you how excited I was when I learned Ardeth fucking Bay voiced Osiris.

I loved Ardeth in The Mummy and The Mummy Returns.

And I wanna hear his voice more in #Destiny3
