Will we ever feel this epicness again?!

I know Beyond Light looks solid, but it just doesn’t give the same feeling as this did! Just doesn’t give me that “this is for all the marbles” kind of feeling. I’m excited don’t get me wrong, but what I’ve read on Glassdoor about former Bungie employees and things I’ve heard from my friends who work for other developers is that Bungie’s core values don’t line up properly. They aren’t looking to make the best game and never have. They are looking to make the most profitable game even if it involves cutting corners.
It’s depressing to know that that’s their ideals as a game company, but I guess we have to take it as it is.

2 RepliesSadly once the Game Direction changed and F2P coupled with the FOMO Seasonal model were implemented the quality of Development took a nosedive. No longer was Destiny being Developed as a “game players want to play” Destiny became a WoW/Fortnite hybrid looking to sustain itself via the cash store instead of through expansions. This Business Model has proven itself to be profitable with the least amount of resources required. Until such time that another looter-shooter comes along that can provide the player with great shooting mechanics and 100s if not 1000s of hours of playtime nothing will change. Bungie will continue with the recycled D1 content and use their copy paste Development to provide them additional content looking to resell it again all the while hyping it as NEW Development. Beyond Light is going to be a welcome infusion of content. Just don’t expect it to be on the same level as TTK or even Forsaken. The reason why Beyond Light is being released as a D2 expansion is simply because there wasn’t enough new content Developed to launch a sequel.
