@HazzadorGamin "Xbox is a disaster" all based on unconfirmed rumours of studio closures.
Meanwhile Sony: lays off 400 bungie employees; removes hundreds of movies from people's accounts with no refund; kills physical games on Playstation.
Am I the only one seeing a patern? 🤡 🤡 🤡
@TheCartelDel To elaborate, it's because they understand a $1k or more PS6 is only going to appeal to certain audience, and therefore they need to monetize that audience higher than before, rather than try and broaden the funnel.
I completely understand where you’re coming from, but for a lot of gamers physical discs are the only way they could afford to play games because they could get them secondhand. You can also give games to your younger siblings Which is a great way to introduce them to the games you were playing.
Most importantly though, as we saw from PlayStation this past week, if the media we buy is only digital, it can be taken away from us at a moment’s notice with no recourse. Imagine that, one day your entire library of games could be deleted overnight because technically you don’t own it.
Remember how Hideo Kojima's P.T. was not only pulled from the Playstation Store, but was also made impossible to re-download?
Another bell tolls for the death of the gaming industry.
@IdleSloth84_ Yeah, no. From someone who works in publishing, has had games in game pass (won't say more) this isnt even remotely true. Crazy thing to spread.
Basically the whole D2 Sandbox team is gone, myself included.
The good news is if you liked the way Destiny felt to shoot and play, there’s going to be a lot of great designers in the market looking to help other games step it up.
I'm so sick of this. I was just going for an evening stroll and now the sky is making me want to suck cock.
This is unnecessary and intentionally signaling the gays. They know what they're doing. Once you see it, you cannot unsee it.
This is intentional.
I will not be gaslit.
I support signing the Destiny 3 petition and having as many people logging in on June 9 as possible as ways of supporting the series and studio
Just...keep expectations in check about any miracles

i’ve figured out what bothers me about the MIXTAPE debacle
gamers complain about AAA studios laying people off even if they make a popular game but if you make an indie game with 17 friends that gets too well reviewed they will try to ruin your life over it
can’t win 😩😩
would you rather people make up the dumbest shit imaginable to justify harassing you off the internet or would you like to just lose your job? all this shit is going to do is ensure the most homogenized safe games ever get made, the same five AAA slop + friendslop + indieslop over and over again and they’ll all complain that design feels stagnant but if you do anything outside of the things people Know Are Good you will get hate campaigns
it’s tiring seeing the same boring idiot takes from people who’ve never licensed a song in their life just looking to score dunk points on the latest acceptable target
there’s no such thing as an “industry plant” you guys just don’t know how anything works so you get confused about everything
The "Mixtape is an Ellison nepo baby project" discourse is peak modern internet: pure, unadulterated grift fueled by people who would rather manufacture outrage than open a single Wikipedia tab.
Let's actually look at the reality of how this game got made.
Mixtape wasn't cooked up in a Hollywood boardroom. It’s the brainchild of Johnny Galvatron. Johnny is an Australian musician who used to front the punk rock band The Galvatrons. In 2017, he stepped away from the band to found his own studio, Beethoven & Dinosaur.
His first game? The Artful Escape. It was a masterpiece that won massive critical acclaim, secured BAFTA nominations, and proved Johnny’s unique voice in the industry. That proven track record and creative success is exactly what landed them the funding for Mixtape.
But sure, let’s ignore years of indie hustle, actual musical pedigree, and an award-winning debut just to chase engagement with a lazy narrative. Do better.
