A new AAA live-service looter shooter in 2026 is insanely expensive and risky.
"You know what else is expensive? Not making shit that's what's expensive, you know what I mean? You know what else is expensive? Making something that bombs. That's fucking expensive too. You know what's NOT as expensive? MAKING A GAME THAT WOULD OBVIOUSLY FUCKING SELL LIKE A DESTINY 3."

Cross confirms that he will not play Marathon today as he continues to make a stand.
"Why would I talk this much shit just to show up on Tuesday and be like, 'FUCK IT WE RIDE BABY WE RIDE!'"
I've seen (& signed) the petition going around. But I think the much more powerful response if you're hoping for some kind of future for the franchise is:
Log on the week of June 9th.
Dont' get me wrong, Sony execs aren't gonna fall to their knees in tears and insta-green-light D3 or anything. But seeing SO many players out there logging on to give one last hurrah to the franchise that meant so much to them - it'll speak volumes in its own way.
At the very least, we'll have one more window of fun enjoying the last batch of new content in a game that meant so much to us. At best, it'll show how passionate the community still is, and just how badly so many of us want SOME kind of future for this franchise, no matter how long it might take to build.
I'll see you out there in June. It's gonna be one hell of a ride.
Overall view:
- Destiny 2 probably should have ended with Final Shape with Destiny 3 already incubating
- If Destiny 2 was going to keep existing, it shouldn't have been what we got, which was badly handled
- Marathon siphoned a ton of resources and there is no disputing that
