Don’t throw money at the screen…aka trust but verify.

While the news about destiny is great and I am STOKED for what is happening, please remember how many times Bungie has previously let us down. Before any of us “throw money at the screen” we would be well advised to wait and make sure that Bungie is actually going to follow through, actually give us solid content, actually LISTEN to all of the stuff we have been saying this whole time. There are so many examples, so many reports, so many REPEATED times they made poor choices or didn’t develop something because they couldn’t monetize it enough or because they needed to fund other projects that NONE of us should be preordering anything until they have proven they are actually doing things differently. Yes it’s a business, yes it needs to make money and be profitable, and yes they are free to make whatever decisions best benefit them. That doesn’t mean they get a pass to be greedy, abuse their developers, make bad decisions with no consequences or take advantage of their customers. Corporations. Are not. Our friends. They don’t automatically deserve our belief in them. I know this is a new management team, I know we all want better things for this franchise, and I know this has us all very excited for what is potentially happening…but don’t let excitement blind you. Behaviour is a language. Bungie’s, AND Sony’s behaviour has not been close to reliable for a while now. I hope most, if not all of us take the stance that they have a LOT of work to do to regain any kind of trust with this community. I urge you to politely hold them to account and wait to purchase anything until they have consistently demonstrated they’re willing to do things differently. If we just take whatever is offered then things will never actually improve. We should all demand better. Bungie, we want to love you, but you have a long road in front of you if you want us to believe you in the future.

  • Trust is earned not given. Over the years we witnessed many ups and downs for the franchise, false promises, transition from previous gen to current gen, limitations of hardware ECT. Time will tell what's in store for us all. Till then Eyes Up Guardians 🫡🍻

  • This news sounds great on the surface. However any change to the current D2 content sounds like it’s months away. There’s also no specifics about any actual future beyond D2. Honestly , I’m reading this as ‘Hey guys, we’re continuing Destiny 2. Now that you know that, remember Marathon is available right now if you want to support us!!’ Yeah, I know I’m Mr Sceptical. On the plus side, it means any surprises are nice ones, lol.

  • I’m not holding my breath, it wouldn’t be the first time we were feed bs, they could just be hoping this news helps Marathons player numbers. I’m curious to see how they’re going to pay for all this, it’s certainly not coming from Marathon revenue. At the end of the day it’s Sony who calls the shots, they could just pull the plug on the whole company tomorrow.

  • The vid sounded less like an apology and more like a recitation of grievances brought to them by players, players that they seemingly only cared about once they were gone.

    • I’ll only trust that they’re going to deliver when I see reasons to do so. As things stand all I’ve seen is ‘trust us bro’ and ‘buy Marathon to support us’.

      [quote]Corporations. Are not. Our friends.[/quote] Correct. It would be incredibly naive to think that a company suddenly wants to "do the right thing". Its more likely the company was embarrassed at recent conferences , where the new games being announced were eclipsed by the entire chat spamming "we want D3"... other studios/developers must think Bungie is a bunch of idiots, to end a game that has such a massive following of fanatics who are BEGGING to throw their money at it... like "sell it to us, we'll make D3!" lol

    • How many times have you heard the same crap from Bungie’s leadership… different leadership every time. Marathon as it stands is a financial flop… where do you see Bungie drip feeding their coffers from? How many times have they actually listened to their player base… pvp is a hot mess and has been for years as their “ paid” anti cheat is a farce. Dedicated servers, too expensive. How much money will you actually want to throw at the screen for regurgitated content. Content such as paid campaigns and raids which should never have been removed in the first place. How big and bloated do you think the game can function on a 9 year old code base full of patches and held together with broken promises. It’s the same -blam!- all over again aimed at the lost and addicted. Shame on you Bungie.

    • So we are just never going to have a happy day, we're always going to be cynical and jaded. Well, you guys will, I'm going to celebrate today! Any guardians that want to throw down, I'll be on!
