I expected destiny to far surpass marathon's player counts once the final update hit, but seeing it beat out marathon BEFORE that while marathon just had its brand new season AND is free to play for the week is genuinely shocking to me
Truly what do you do if you are marathon
"The guy who taught himself a new art form spoke negatively of tools that circumnavigate the art form, curious." This is not a "safe" comment in an industry that is being bankrolled by AI conglomerates to incorporate their products at any level to the degree that Scorsese is propping up the Emperor's new clothes. Kane is the biggest director in the world right now because he is neither greedy nor stupid enough to need AI for film making.

Brother, I have nothing but love for your content. I absolutely do not want anyone sending you messages like this. In this space we unfortunately get disturbing things sent to us. Doesn’t excuse it, but a reality nonetheless. However, those single messages from obviously disturbed individuals do not define a community, and they for sure don’t define the Destiny community. My issues are with certain individuals in Bungie at the top. Believe me, this week has cost me. I love Destiny, like you once did. I still remember doing Vow of the Disciple with you and man what a treat it was. Having a lore master walk me through every piece of that raid, explaining all the little things I had missed and never knew. You enriched the world of Destiny for us. And I’m just not ready to say goodbye to that world yet.
Holy fucking shit. It's really the end for Destiny. That game changed my life. Marathon may go down as the biggest mistake in videogame history. Why did Bungie focus on that utter shambles over Destiny 3? Like, why?

For almost twelve years, we have had the joy and honor to explore the Destiny universe with you all. Through all the ups and downs, surprises and triumphs, building Destiny alongside our players has been a monumental privilege. While our love for Destiny 2 has not changed, it has become clear that after The Final Shape, we have reached the time for our shared worlds, and Destiny, to live beyond Destiny 2.
As our focus turns towards a new beginning for Bungie, we will begin work incubating our next games. To that end, on June 9, 2026, we will release the final live-service content update for Destiny 2 to begin that new journey as a studio.
Though active development may be concluding, we will ensure that Destiny 2 remains playable, just as the original Destiny is today. Many changes in this final update will aim to ensure that Destiny 2 is a welcoming place for players to return to.
We’re proud of Destiny 2, the places it took us, and the legacy it has created. Because of you all, our universe is vast, built on years of shared stories, adventures, and victories. From the Cosmodrome to the Pale Heart to the Lawless Frontier, we have forged life-long memories and friendships with you all.
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who made that journey with us.
From the deepest part of our hearts, thank you, and we'll see you in the stars.
@Maddog12968 No, obviously a D3 wouldn’t fix everything. Some of the issues with D2 are with Bungie and how they roll out content/updates. I think a D3 with a solid foundation would benefit the series in the long term since D2 was never meant for long term support.
