@MitchVC_@DestinyBulletn They wanted the live service expertise. Sony bought out other studios to try and do that and when those failed they closed their studios. Unless bungie picks up the slack for live service on their end for Sony I don’t think we’ll ever get another Destiny.
@Jay411__@pagliacci_dse@DSR_Joker I meant to say I’ve played through final shape. I’ve been playing since d2 release. Destiny changed my outlook on life. Gave me that spark.
@Jay411__@pagliacci_dse@DSR_Joker And I’m on board with the rest of the community. Destiny is the only thing I really truly care about. I’ played since final shape and took small breaks here and there. But I didn’t want it to die. I just wanted it to do well.
@Jay411__@pagliacci_dse@DSR_Joker We claim we love the developers of Destiny and some of those developers got pulled to marathon, why not show those same developers the love as well? Sony sees fans but focuses on money. I hate as well, but they only care about where the money flows not what the community wants
@SuperJuiceBoi@DSR_Joker I love Destiny and maybe it’s me having copium/hopium but I don’t want it to go. If someone who was in bungie says this is the one way to save the current developers at bungie and give us a shot at d3, I’m thinking of taking it. That’s all. For the love of Destiny
@SuperJuiceBoi@DSR_Joker Not really..because people say if you play apex it saves titanfall. Don’t get me wrong I felt the same way. Loved titanfall. But EA has never really been for the consumer. Back in the days, Sony was, but now not so much. Idk man. Bungie was doing bad even before being bought.
@ThePyromancer@DSR_Joker Its was this that bungie employee is saying. Destiny was already doing badly before being bought by Sony. I don’t like that bitter pill either. But Sony as a business is being precautious. I love Destiny and I don’t want it to go. Just spreading Liana’s words.
@keronage@samikatplays Bungie was below the red line before the Sony acquisition. If it wasn’t acquired right then, the studio was very close to shutting its doors at the very least on Destiny. It was an emergency acquisition
@manoklid@pagliacci_dse@DSR_Joker The dev for bungie says otherwise. Destiny was doing bad as a franchise before marathon was even a thing. Sony purchased bungie for their live service expertise, and was pushing for it after being acquired. So bungie got pressured from all around.

Only if you're looking at it from a consumer perspective. I've seen no one speak correctly about the details of the acquisition. Their value isn't SOLELY in Marathon but if Marathon is considered a failed project - which it has not at this time - then that puts them up for grabs for turning the Bungie name from a production studio and more into a service of expertise that would benefit the whole Sony network. But again, things could have changed since my time there. It's not just Bungie leadership that changed, a huge proponent of the live-service push from the Sony side also left, which changes the entire chessboard.
Half the community is going to hate me for saying this, but the only way to keep Bungie alive right now is to support Marathon. People keep comparing Marathon numbers to Destiny and frankly, that's ignorant. Marathon was never designed to do Bungie numbers. The conversations about that were very upfront early. It's more aligned with Tarkov than Destiny. Completely different target markets that just so happen to have a wide intersection with Destiny target markets since it uniquely has so many.
@DSR_Joker Instead of saying ifs ands and buts, maybe look at what a developer that had time with bungie under Destiny is saying. I love Destiny, but we Destiny players are good at holding grudges. Too good. We need to stop it if we are to keep bungie alive for a D3
@DirtyEffinHippy@samikatplays Liana, with someone such as myself that doesn’t play extraction shooters, supporting this game will in the end support a possible green light in d3 if I read your replies correctly..if true, I guess I’m buying and playing marathon.
@joshy41233@PoweredByElectr Bro…as someone who’s been playing since d2 release, I’d rather they do. Screw respect. It’s here now. Game is done being developed. Let them use it. No one cares.
