It may not have been perfect, but it was a shared world for millions of players across two games and multiple platforms.
To all the devs and members of the Bungie team, thank you for what you gave us with the Destiny franchise.
I've made friends through your world and had wonderful experiences doing dungeons, raids, and just entering public spaces where other players were working together towards a common goal (even now with distortions and public events, being able to revisit those spaces for a purpose other than to just wander around and wonder what could have been with them has been fun).
I have my own thoughts about who let us down, but for me, it wasn't the developers who worked tirelessly to bring us this story and experience. Nobody's going to love everything about something that has been created, and there are always going to be critics (who I would invite to go and create their own studio and "do it better" if you think you can.)
My son introduced me to Destiny on the PS3 right around the time The Taken King launched. I learned that I absolutely sucked at platforming; my regular group of raiders often had to wait 30+ minutes for me to get past the infamous "wall of dicks" in King's Fall. But we had fun nonetheless, and those friendships have lasted beyond playing Destiny together.
It is a shame that greed and poor leadership decisions have led us here. But to those who created the world, you have my thanks and appreciation for everything you have done.

I enjoyed my time when I came back for Monument of Triumph. It showed us all what Destiny 2 can be, and while we never got our vaulted content back, we still had a good time. I’d personally thank Bungie’s workforce for creating such a fantastic universe with such memorable characters and destinations. I spent many an hour exploring Titan and dancing on the Vanguard table in the original tower. Destiny really did build a life of its own. The leadership of Bungie however, deserve nothing but the harshest condemnation. They totally mismanaged the company and perhaps most damning of all, gave us “the content vault” which stands as one of the most controversial decisions in the history of the gaming industry.

6 RepliesI will. Never ever buy another Sony or product. Since they will not save our game Sony go fall off a cliff I hope this decision cost the Sony company greatly. To those that developed the game thank you so much for the memories and thank you for this game I pray that your landings are soft and you find a new jobs.

Best game I have ever played.

3 RepliesMe: it sounds like “SONY” getting ready to sell “Bungie”🤔? To lessen the cost of selling “Bungie” studio to a potential buyer (some layoffs is needed in a business perspective).
