Furious at management, grateful for the developers who tried.

With the announcement today that destiny 2 is now in maintenance mode I wanted to say thank you to the developers who tried. Management, you let your teams down, you let your employees down, you let the community down. Repeatedly. You had a passionate devoted fan base and you neglected them. Repeatedly. You had developers who had things they wanted to do in the game that paying customers wanted and you told them no. Repeatedly. You told all of us over and over again that you were listening snd you were committed to improving things. You did none of that. Say it with me everyone!?!?!?! Repeatedly. You made the same mistakes time and again and just thought we would continue to forgive you and to trust Bungie no matter what. Speaking purely for myself, it’s clear just what kind of a company you are and how Bungie is not to be trusted. (See sunsetting paid content, over delivery is bad, and no executive bonus cuts to save people’s jobs because Bungie is not that type of company) The let down a lot of people are feeling is real, and yeah it’s just a game, it’s also something people put a lot of time in to and they enjoyed it and wanted to see reach its potential. Sadly, due to the decisions of the MANAGEMENT of Bungie, that was ruined. Developers. We know a lot of you tried and tried hard too, we appreciate what you did, what you tried to do, and how you were hamstrung by tech like the tiger engine. We see you. We thank you, and we hope things improve for you. Hope everyone had a great day, it’s sad, this is not the ending this all deserved.

  • The game's almost 10 years old. You can't reinvent the wheel. Each time they tried something new like Metroidania/matterspark people would complain.

    • It's impossible to be excited for anything else in that TWID.

      • Youre late. The devs that tried got laid off years ago. Remember when bungie said “we kept the right people”. Same people that gave us everything we didn’t ask for, then ignored our complaints entirely. Yea, good people, that dev team. They can put the fries in the bag for all i care.

        • The “Devs who tried” were the creators of Halo and the OG D1 crew who left or were fired decades ago. The blue hair people there now and those ABOUT to be fired are NOT those devs and deserve every ounce of spite and anger they get.

            Oh please. "The devs that tried" were let go years ago; you've seen the people they dragged out onto their ViDocs like the rest of us did. You know, the guy giddy that players were frustrated with his anti-fun modifiers and promising to design more of them? The people confused about their own genders trying to tell us all how cool something else they don't understand is? The "adults" that can't even describe what's changing but are so dang excited for the changes? There were no devs left that cared and there were barely any that did to begin with. The studio has been a husk for a long time and this is the final result of it having no residual life left remaining to continue parading the corpse.

          • They are all in on it. You are a wallet to them. They neglected destiny 2 to make marathon and put the money and resources into marathon. They made bad choices to get players to jump to marathon. Look how that turned out.

          • Nah. -blam!- the devs too. It's easy to blame the managment, but don't kid yourself, everyone from the CEO to the toilet plunger has a hand in this. And this is EXACTLY the ending all of this deserved.

            • I've just had a dabble on the old Destiny, started to build up a Hunter...it's been a blast. However, the thing that hit hard were the cut scenes, landing on Mars, flying to the Last City, arriving at the tower, meeting the Speaker for the first time. .There is nothing whatsoever in Destiny 2 that comes close to the uniqueness of the original....so much potential, so much detail and most importantly so much fun to be had. FFS Bungie what did you do to drop the ball so badly? Regardless of whether the game was 1 year or 12 years down the line it still had the possibility with a passionate, imaginative group to continue the stories, bring in places like Old Chicago, somewhere which has been mentioned time and time again. But no, we had the treadmill of seasons which never worked, was so friggin boring, endless repetitive tasks providing mundane weapons and armor. No imagination just drip feeding. The gamers saw what was happening, raised concerns and were simply lied to. Those who complained in an effective, cutting way were subsequently banned for a week, for a month by non descript, faceless Ninjas, verily the censors from Orwell's 1984. Marathon will fail, the wrong option was chosen by money grabbing execs for a game which to the majority is an abomination. Now, when harsh reality digs into both Sony and Bungie we now see a feeble, purple attempt to introduce a PVE aspect into the latest pile of dung, all to tempt more gamers in, it's laughable. The bright space dust enlightened freshness that Bungie once had, has long gone, those brilliant creators who made it possible so to have gone. I should've known, as soon as the PC brigade took over Destiny was doomed .... I will now await the final content and have returned to my old clan to go out with one last great hurrah...for you Bungie, the cliff awaits ...

            • Destiny 2, the game with so much potential, destroyed cause of stupid management and preventable ideas.

              Today, I've learned a valuable lesson: "If you show up late at a party, might as well go right back home" You don't have to be John MCclane, to be in the wrong place, at the wrong time

            • And another management is 100% at fault and the developers did nothing wrong post. If you have not figured it out ye, there are devs who contributed to the mess; and if you believe otherwise you are being naive. No dev who helps write code, test, design, develop etc is guiltless in this down fall!
