It's genuinely amazing that despite everything Bungie has done to Destiny over the years, it still maintains such a large, devoted fanbase.
Look at what they’ve pulled over the last decade:
• Vaulted $200+ of paid expansion content
• Changed the director to a mobile UI
• Released Lightfall and the world's worst MacGuffin (The Veil)
• Sunset half the weapons
• Locked more and more cosmetics behind Eververse
• Piece-mealed content via Dungeon Keys, Battle Passes, and Event Passes
• Built a predatory, FOMO-driven seasonal economy
• Maintained the world’s worst onboarding experience for new players
• Paywalled basic features like transmog
• Subjected us to player levels of grind
• The absolute disaster that was D2 Year 1
And this isn't even touching the obscene leadership failures, layoffs, and various studio scandals.
Yet, against seemingly all these odds, the game lasted 9+ years and has a crazy loyal community. It’s an incredible testament to how good Destiny is at its core, but it's also a wild case study of how much tertiary bullshit consumers will endure when the core loop hits just right.
Just wish they'd put Destiny 1 on PC.
@maddl29 low ilvl is a problem sure, but i’m not buying a wow token to be able to afford the stupid ass 30k enchants on all my characters like what, i’m no spending a couple hundred usd for 5% damage nor am i gonna play an extra fuck load a week to get gold
@aiiygatorz so we’re turning into mactics now or? How tf can u play destiny for as long as u have and trust that studio with any ounce of trust and if u do holy shit ur cooked in the head
@DamionRussell17@CrusaderTwitch ahh yes cause spawn protection so needed not like i can walk 5 feet and one tap someone off spawn on like half of the tarkov maps or anything let alone factory, u casuals are criminal stop being afraid of pvp and losing ur gear
@VeriitasGames as a 24 year old i don’t want some berucratic speak that sounds corpo as a response, or some speak like we gotta be all nice and put together shit, cause that’s not the real world and who cares if peoples feelings get hurt by words there just words
@AlmanaxWinch@Harley_Sonder@tarkov bro lied through his teeth, u can play it once, u don’t keep any loot or xp, and only way to redo is reset of prestige that was only part u had right. U load back in ur stash at same state u were in before the mission after mission no loot no xp nothing
@nikgeneburn for as much shit as people talk nikita , just know we love you ur a character of a game dev but u made what many of us have considered our favorite game of all time, and ur pretty funny too, keep on pushing on on 1.0 and the future.
@VersaceBedSprng@NoiceGuy_ yes nikita was cheap and this isn’t me defending them, but most of other countries sanctions restrict any of there citizens working for russian companies, kinda hard to hire the best of the best when u only can hire out of russia
This game while it had its many ups and downs was and will forever be one of my favorites in the mmo space and games in general, sad day to see it go especially as it was making its come back . Thanks for the memories and all the fun, O7 @playnewworld
