Alright, so. My sources (Bungie, not Sony), on the "Sony revenge" storyline:

- The impression is that this reported info *probably* comes from PlayStation employee observers, not anyone high up with significant knowledge of leadership's mindset.

- Some at PlayStation have "publicly wondered" why D2 is ending support, but keep in mind there are like 12K people working there.

- This is almost entire financial, simply Destiny 2 cost more than it made. Math. Cruel math, but math. No one at Bungie has any belief this is some "revenge" idea.

- It is obvious to everyone Bungie has not performed well and it is not exactly Sony's golden child. But this idea that Sony is blaming Bungie for Concord and all the rest of the live stuff is a huge reach. Sony isn't doing this to "punish" Bungie for some transgression via its live service plans or game underperformance.

- Despite atomizing Destiny 2 support to the point where there won't even be hotfixes, there are zero plans to wind down actual servers.

So take anything too hyperbolic with a giant pile of salt. Like the basics may be true, Bungie didn't live up to what Sony wanted, some employees working at PS may not understand or like this move, but this isn't as cloak and dagger as it's being portrayed. It's corporate, albeit that is obviously its own kind of bad. I'll probably have a piece or vid on all this tomorrow, but I see this spreading like wildfire.

Hear me out🚀

It wasn’t exclusivity
It wasn’t “money-hatting” third party
It wasn’t acquisitions
It wasn’t console wars
It wasn’t “woke” vs. “anti-woke”
It wasn’t “entitled gamers”
It wasn’t COVID or “the economy”

It was the last two CEOs on both sides that single-handedly ruined gaming’s biggest makers, with live service, greed, cookie-cutter creations and the most terrible decisions that only talented creators and studios paid for with closures🎤

Holy. Sh*t.

THIS one. This one actually drew tears. More than once.

What an incredible ride this all has been.

Eyes up, Guardians.

[Destiny 2 Team @Destiny2Team]

To the Destiny 2 community,

Thank you.

As artists, our goal has always been to create worlds filled with wonder, mystery, beauty, and adventure. But what brings those worlds to life is you. You take our designs, our napkin sketches, our "wouldn't it be cool if..." ideas and transform them into something real. Your creativity, your passion, and your love for the game give our work purpose.

We've always believed Destiny could be a place where expression is celebrated, where players can see themselves and each other in the worlds we build, where every Guardian can forge their own legend—and you proved it.

Watching your Guardians grow, embrace new allies, take down bigger and badder bosses, solve mind-bending puzzles, dodge death traps, avoid Taken boopers, and overcome every Raid challenge we throw at you—all while looking incredible—has been a constant reminder of why this universe matters.

You shaped it. You made it matter. You are the light of Destiny.

With Monument of Triumph, we set out to create a series of love letters to Guardians, new and old. We shared a preview last week of armor inspired by early designs from the original Destiny but have also sprinkled some winks and nods throughout the rewards releasing tomorrow. We hope they feel like a small thank you for everything you’ve given us.

From all of us on the Destiny 2 art team, thank you for supporting us, inspiring us, and continuing to bring this world to life in ways we could never have imagined. You give our art meaning.

With gratitude,
The Destiny 2 Art Team
