I guess I don't really get the downside of everything being dismissed here. Project Sunrise may never be anything world-changing but it's a good, impressive effort and worth supporting. Hoping that Destiny as a game or a series or even just an IP could return is a valid response to something ending after over a decade. "Copium" perhaps, but it should clearly be understandable.
There's a reason I've talked about why this situation is such a rarity in the industry, where a series this long running and this beloved by a strong core is just blinked out of existence as a game and as a world. Other killed-off games did not have that kind of history and most were failures almost immediately (you know the ones). Other games that have struggled over the years have pushed through or they turned into something else, and at least their entire universe wasn't wiped out of existence.
He's right in that it is not illogical to tell people to move on given the current situation, given the state of things and how it's true that as a player and as a creator it will never be the same.
But that's the thing, it will never be the same. No matter how many other good games there are, replicating an experience like the last 12 years is almost impossible now. I'm in a totally different phase of life. I'm not saying I can't have fun elsewhere, but I will never build up that kind of time and connection with a game again. And, as far as we know, it's not just D2 itself, it's the entire world that grew out of these two games and could have been, could still be so much more. So, I will mourn. I will yell. I will cope. I don't know when I will stop.
