  A death so tragic it drove Jason Schreier to start a goddamn youtube channel

  Brother, if your courtship survived 400 SQFT and Destiny 1... you two are bulletproof.

  I remember when Destiny was announced they said they had a 10-year plan for the game. They technically beat that target by a few years.

  It turns out the real endgame was making sure Pete Parsons could buy more cars.

  Destiny's entire development existence was turbulent. Not surprising the bill would come due one day

  No doubt that leadership held this game back for over a decade. We always wondered what the "Destiny killer" would be, but everyone always knew that only Bungie could truly kill Destiny.

  The problem with new players was a majority of the story isn’t in the game. Plus it throws so much info at you you get confused and lost at the same time very easily. There is so much info the community created the Destiny Data compendium. Us Destiny players never gave up on the idea of Destiny or the Destiny Devs we gave up on the management who consistently mismanaged the game we loved and it struggled with consistency and quality because of it. Somehow we got a better update in 2017 that was rushed in 9 months than we do in 2026. Destiny 3 has so much more potential gain than Marathon. Sometimes you have to take a risk to gain a lot. RIP Destiny there was and never will be a game like you again.

  I’m begging you to reach out to past and present Bungie developers/producers and write a “blood sweat & pixels” style book about what happened over the years behind the scenes at bungie. I would pay so much money for it

  Worth noting that the actual reason for the Destiny Content Vault wasn't just about taking less storage on consumers devices. It was also about optimising existing content to prevent the engine from freaking out for any number of knock on effects that cramming everything in to one game was having. Additionally, the beyond light engine update forced them to overhaul all the existing content: which meant that more stuff in the DCV meant less time spent re-optimising the rest for the new engine version. Its the main reason that Bungie cant just plug the red war campaign back into D2. The game engine red war ran on doesn't exist anymore in the same form.
