Bungie, hire people back, finish D2 and we can pretend Marathon never happened

I'm still in denial. I wanna see plot development of Clovis, Xivu and Winnower. Besides, the cracks are showing, a lot of bugs everywhere. In the end, dead Destiny still has way more players than Marathon.

  • It is easier to uninstall and pretend D2 never existed

  • "Finish D2" Bro, it was finished in The Final Shape. We beat the Witness, wrapped up a 6 year story line, finally ended the threat that was behind the last FIVE expansions. We literally got to enter the Traveler itself (thru the Pale Heart) & finally ended all the mystery surrounding it for the past 10 years. As a send-off, we got to mix all the subclasses together & wear an exotic class item that basically lets you use TWO exotics at once. A complete free-for-all ! We should have known it was over then. No new subclasses, no new planets, no new evil force that seeps into every corner of our solar system. The Final Shape could literally be taken as "The Final Chapter" of Destiny.... But everyone kept lying to themselves & desperately clinging to something that was over, begging Bungie to squeeze more money out of us... so they whipped up some half-baked slop with some Star Wars sprinkles on top. Everything that happened after Final Shape is completely incongruent to the Destiny that came before it. The new feats system, the new tiered armor, the new activity scoring system, it all would have been great in a D3, while also preserving legacy D2 as it was... but instead, they jammed it all into D2, causing more bugs, more hurdles for new players, and more displeasure for some veterans. Please just let go of D2 already & let it conclude with whats left of its own identity... give the gaming industry a few years to really appreciate the whole Destiny vibe, and maybe they'll cook up a D3 that actually deserves its name.

    • It's not Bungie's call. And even if it was, they all abandoned ship. Even Jason Jones is gone.

    • Bro, building solar with this artifacts sucks. There are too many perks to void and autorifles. We could use more variety.

        • At this point, the smart money would be on Bungo sacking staff rather than hiring.

          • I'm sure they got the budget to do that.

          • What makes you think a bunch of laid off devs want to go back to work for the same garbage company that secretly planned their demise behind their backs?

            👉 If Marathon currently has, for example, 20,000–50,000 daily active players across all platforms—which is plausible given the very low Steam population but unknown console numbers—then a 250-person development organization would be supporting something like: 80–200 active players 👉 per 1 employee. That’s an extremely expensive player-to-development ratio. 👉 If Marathon’s total cross-platform active population is now only tens of thousands rather than hundreds of thousands, then maintaining a ~250-person development team is extremely difficult to justify purely from Marathon’s direct revenue. 👉 Marathon alone is currently putting Bungie on the verge of bankruptcy…. except for Sony still keeping the lights on… But for how long???

            • The game has run its course. I'm still playing but it's only because I'd left for a couple of years and still have things to do. It's been a frustrating and fun ride. On to the next.

            • As much as I'd like this to happen, it probably won't. Honestly though, D2 still feels unfinished to me, and I definitely think there's more they could've done.

              • Honestly, it's the only viable solution they have as a company. Sony needs to rearrange the pieces, and Marathon needs to die sooner rather than later. It's a lost cause. D2 is not, but D2 needs minimal updates and small expansions while they work on D3. Just stuff to keep the lights on, for people to buy, et cetera. D3 should have been well into production now. Insane how bad these companies actually are at managing talent.
