Reninder to cancel your PS+ subscriptions
Reminder to not support an empty box of GTA VI
Reminder to support physical games
Reminder to NOT SHUT UP ABOUT IT
After sitting with the Playstation news for a bit, I came to realize something…
Isn’t what Sony is doing kinda illegal?
They’re essentially creating a monopoly by gutting any market except the ps store.
No competition. No competitive prices. Nothing.
Seems illegal to me.
I keep thinking about this and it has me so angry.
You had one of the biggest live service games that was infected by mismanagement. With proper care it could have recovered and thrived and in a few years you could have the income you desire had you have listened to the devs that were so obviously passionate about their work.
Yet you took it out back and shot it with the layoffs, and then turn and spit in our faces with this message “revitalising the market”.
@hermenhulst, @sony / @PlayStation - my money and support will go elsewhere. You have another hater :)
#SaveDestiny #WeWantDestiny3
> be Sony
> cancel Factions
> cancel live service Spider-Man
> force Bluepoint to make live service game
> shut them down
> aquire Bungie
> shut down Destiny 2
> Concord
"We want to revitalize the market with live service games".
What is this business strategy called?
Several of us in QA were still reproing the Seraphs shield and DSC elevator crashes on different consoles/framerates late into Weds night, with a goal of verifying the fix on our dev kits Thursday. Little did we know we wouldn’t get to verify it as we were all swept up in the layoffs. 🥺
It was an honor/bittersweet to close out D2 as MoT QA lead of the Immortal title triumphs and vendors.
Our MATT (most amazing test team) naturally ran thru almost 180 triumphs and all MoT vendor items/the character rendezvous/the cinematics triggering/the grass changing - one even tried to speed run it - you know who you are 😀
I wouldn’t trade them for the world and I’m so damn proud of us. We really wanted you all to feel the passion we put into making the triumph journey feel bug free and rewarding.
Hope that came thru.
If you played these activities thru D2 and liked them/did not hit TOO many bugs, we are glad 😌
And I say WE because it is always a team effort:
- Renegades golden path
- Edge of Fate Invitation intro mission and abilities (MB/relocator/translator)
- Final Shape lost sectors/secrets/combo testing of Dual Destiny exotic class items
- Lightfall full campaign and post game run thrus
- S19 Seraphs Shield exotic mission
- S18 Ketchrash 6 man activity
I guess I can rest now for a bit knowing the end of this journey is here and a new path awaits so many of us.
Thanks to all of you at bungie who worked with me in any way.
And thanks as always to the players - you made this game really feel alive.
Once a guardian, always a guardian ❤️❤️❤️
Hermen Hulst is the guy who thought Concord would be “the future of PlayStation,” pushed for the panic acquisition of Bungie, and greenlit the development of Horizon: Hunters Gathering instead of a Killzone reboot. Under his leadership, Sony Interactive Entertainment have seen over $1B in value destruction, including ~$765M in impairment losses and ~$400M from the Concord / Firewalk failure. He is a walking, talking financial hazard to the entertainment industry
The Bungie Layoffs and what the leaders and Sony have done to Destiny feels like losing a dear friend to the corporate world of greed. It's disgusting. Let a studio that will re-hire everyone who has been let go have the IP so they can do what they love and keep making this world
I genuinely don't think any of us will ever go quiet about Destiny until something changes. This outcome is unacceptable. I love Marathon too but ending support for Destiny, firing everyone, and focusing on "incubating projects" is the dumbest shit I've ever heard
Guardians: We need your help.
Send this message far and wide. On Bungie Day--7/7--we run it back.
Return to the tower. Light up the charts. Show the world what Legends are made of.
Rise, Guardians. Until the walls collapse.
