Justin Truman to take the role.

      His replacement’s not much better. Lots of mixed sentiment from past employees, and even though he did acknowledge it with a joke, the “overdelivery” thing is such a red flag to carry.

      I quit the game this past fall after literally 12k hours on steam. Huge number of growing reasons, but the top reason has always been the way bungie c-suite treats their devs and their players. One of the most toxic in the industry by a mile.

    Might be bitter but I lost interest when I bought Destiny years ago and the main campaign just…stopped. To be continued only when buying DLC. Never spent a penny on them since as I believe a game you buy should be the entire thing end to end with additional content available to purchase. I wanted a main storyline with conclusion.

      I stopped playing when I learned the DLC I paid for would be removed and no longer accessible. I already had some growing negative sentiment towards the game at that point but being outright ripped off was the last straw.

        Yep. I didn’t have a huge issue with them charging for new DLC. If the DLC is good then fine, devs gotta eat.

        When they sunset content that I paid for and tell me it’s no longer accessible, that’s when I dropped the game like a hot potato. Should have requested a refund, actually.

      I lost interest when I first tried Destiny 2 years after it was 1st released and realized they didn’t seem interested in new players.

      Too many storylines merging and diverging before you have any idea whats happening.

      It was like reading a book (and it’s series) out of order.

    Good, the game needs some fresh leadership. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that on the same day they announced this, Bungie also announced that all previous season passes will soon return to a kiosk in-game and you can finish them at any time (yes like the Helldivers model). Plus, players who never got the pass before will be able to buy them for a pretty reasonable price (around $6 USD I believe).

    I didn’t know destiny 2 was still going. I played it for like a year after release before getting tired of it but it was fun enough. The only game I’ve played since then was elden ring so I’m not real up on the times
