@SandyofCthulhu By far the shadiest deal I have ever been a part of, and another reason to despise EAs practices. Our sister corp BioWare survived a bit longer, but the result was the same.
@SandyofCthulhu Riccitiello left EA, formed a VC that bought our studio, and then rejoined EA as CEO. EA bought us soon after. My friend asked how that felt, and I said “it’s as though we woke up one morning to find Star Destroyes in orbit.”
They gave us a bunch of money then killed us off.
Many of the best times in my career were working with incredibly talented people on Destiny. Through the ups and downs it was always developing at the cusp of what was possible in AAA games. Box product to live service. Raids. Dungeons. Strikes. What a journey Eyes up Guardians

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.
@SandyofCthulhu In the 80s I was gifted a box of old trpgs. In there was a treasure trove of early systems (Top Secret, Traveler, etc, ), but the bulk of it was Runequest source books and campaigns. We’d only played DnD and Star Frontiers and Runequest blew us away. It’s still a favorite of mine
@Fragtastik@SCShipyards I think “irresponsibly powerful” ships are compelling in the right hands: Mistake Not My Current State Of Joshing Gentle Peevishness For The Awesome And Terrible Majesty Of The Towering Seas Of Ire That Are Themselves The Mere Milquetoast Shallows Fringing My Vast Oceans Of Wrath
@zillyhooligans I love this. What a great use of generally unused fabric. I had most of these and more. I rarely wore most of them, but all but one were lost in my house fire (the one was the in the dryer at the time).
These shirts were small thing in the big picture, but I think of it often
@th3jmanx@PaulTassi This is actually the result of over delivering. What’s been going on since the annual pass. It promised giant additions to the game at the cost of longevity.
@sound_hockey This and then Kartye gets beat down, nobody steps in, and he ends up in the box for fighting back from the ground with his helmet off.
Someone needs to get punched.
