@DustinCanFly Congrats you guys! This is so rad!

[the #backlogbreakdown @bbdowncast]

@wesleytypes @Atlus_West Imo, P3 has the best characters and story beats. The Reloaded version has a lot of great QoL adds too. That’d be my recommendation.

This is a legitimately great take.

My predictions for Bungie/Destiny:

Destiny 3 will get greenlit… eventually. Easy win for Sony, but with stipulations. Many years away, but budget will have to be much more efficient.

Bungie overhead will need to drastically be cut. This could be total personnel, top level, perks, office/campus closure etc.

Destiny 1 remake is released, likely outsourced or small internal team. Solid way to get back to the roots of Destiny, the story, less clutter, and hit that nostalgia wave. Nice revenue bump too.

Marathon will continue on as it’s honestly good. It may not get Destiny numbers, but will remain consistent enough to maintain for a while, while the gaps get filled.

Now pie in the sky thought? Destiny 3 gets announced at the PS6 reveal. Nothing huge, just a small teaser and title screen ‘Destiny 3’ with no release window. Just hype to move consoles.

I say all this with the upmost respect to the Bungie team. I have many friends there. Many I have previously worked with in my career at various places. They are the best of the best. I don’t want anything bad to happen to anyone, and these are just my realistic thoughts based on my industry knowledge and the way the industry is shifting.

There is money on the table with more Destiny. How we get there will be what changes imo

I was laid off last week.

So, I'm officially looking for my next thing!

I've worked in indie game PR, produced for Last Stand Media, managed platform submissions at Lillymo, ran a gaming press outlet, and most recently was a marketing and project manager at IIO where I was part of a team that published 75+ games in 18 months and spent a lot of time building tools and workflows to make the operation run better.

If any of that sounds useful to your team, I'd love to hear from you. I'm open to roles in publishing, developer relations, marketing ops, product and project management, and my skillset extends to plenty more.

DMs are open. Happy to send out my resume upon request.

And I would really appreciate you resharing this post or making connections if you have them!

@HoegLaw @GameOverThirty Him joining XBOX is legitimately one of the most interesting things I’ve seen happening in the industry in a minute.

And I’m really curious to see if he can execute on all that analytic expertise as well.

[the #backlogbreakdown @bbdowncast]

@PaulTassi How is Lightfall not in this convo?

That story was REAL BAD.

Edge of Fate had some interesting moments. Even if that level design was absolute dog water.

[the #backlogbreakdown @bbdowncast]

@wesleytypes @XBOX I mean Uncle Phil was pretty charming too… and that didn’t really work out.

That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic on Asha. To paraphrase @HoegLaw “I’m giving her the opportunity to disappoint me.”

@HoegLaw Is this something that a clause in a EULA could sidestep?

I want a new Chronicles of Riddick Escape From Butcher Bay please.

Corporate Worship is the priority. Personal study is good, but…

“… not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.”

[Troy Frasier AKA Revived Studios @RevivedThoughts]

If for the next 30 days you could only:

Quiet time with Bible and prayer daily
OR
Go to Sunday morning worship

Which would you choose?

This led to a huge debate amongst my friends and I a few years ago curious how people feel about it.

[the #backlogbreakdown @bbdowncast]

@wesleytypes @WarhorseStudios @KingdomComeRPG @CDPROJEKTRED @thewitcher @C_NyaKundiH Alive and well feels like a bit of a stretch… but we’re here. lol.
