Trying to be reasonable in an unreasonable world. There is a good chance all of our beliefs do not align, however I would love a respectful conversation.

You get a breakdown of daily players, player % by platform etc.

Almost mid day on a Sunday and there’s almost a 7k player difference. Reminder that Marathon is a mostly PC game while Destiny 2 has a massive console base. Bungie/ Sony made a huge mistake.
English
@DSR_Joker As much of the blame as Peye rightfully takes. How many other people were involved in allowing so many incubation projects to run and just burn cash.
Do we know what Jones is working on? Sounds like a whole lot of nothing...
English
@KalZakath Well, my bet is they had to wait till after the last set of goals before the final payouts, and remember Pete was pushed out... I mean left.
English
I see what you're saying
I even respect it
Counter point! FFXIV Evercold: Endwalker's Patch Content-Dawntrail 7.2 was rough FFXIV started losing players, SE/CBU3 got their shit together and 7.3-7.5 was good.
Evercold looks great... so far
Doesn't help Bungies bad with money:
Dawn Namine@DawnNamine
It's depressingly ironic watching the Destiny community go from "vote with your wallets and don't buy any more DLCs!" To "no wait we didn't mean shut the game/studio down!!" in just a few days time. Like what'd y'all expect the outcome of those actions to be?
English
@DSR_Joker If there wasn't a performance clause in there then man, Sony really needs to have a better handle on things
English
@DSR_Joker ... Then why the fuck is any MGMT left there .. clean house of the dead weight and let them build while setting deadlines.
English
@CarpetFTW @PsalmOfAgony People blamed MS too, but look at what we got from Bungie during the "Golden Era".
They make great games, but they have always been horrible at managing things. The issues is now being compounded by Sony's old live service mismanagement and now we all suffer.
English
@PsalmOfAgony Yeah. I'm just stunned that Sony's reaction was to sack it instead of simply being another Activision to hold them accountable. The game still had so much potential.
English
This is why they failed. Activision lit a fire under them. Activision refused to be put into the situation Sony is in now. They made Bungie recover from the disastrous launch of D2 and CoO. The fact Bungie intentionally cut most of LightFall is insane and would NOT have happened.

Today, we're announcing plans for Bungie to assume full publishing rights for the Destiny franchise. Read the full story at Bungie.net. bungie.net/en/Explore/Det…
English
@itsHecticc I was called all sorts of names for calling it back in March. The writing was on the wall.
English
Yea but how much of that was reused D1 assets/leftover content with 3x the dev team. No shot they do it in less than 3 to 5 years.
Plus, they can't launch with just one raid and dungeon. They basically need to come out of the gate with 2 to 3 years worth of content in a Y1 roadmap.
English
I'm sorry,
but if the reaction to Destiny 2 ending,
is that hundreds of thousands of people are devastated,
everyone is sharing their favorite moments,
and saying how much Destiny has impacted their lives,
How the fuck does Sony see that and not make Destiny 3!?
English
Many weeks ago I said that marathon needed time to break open, Destiny took 1 year to make it to TTK.
4 seasons makes the year.
I didn’t expect it to come like this, but Marathon DOES have the potential for a TTK moment.
🇹🇹 Geezaws🗽@Geezaws2
@ViagraPussy it’s not, but it can set the stage for a PvE raid. They had 0 plans to make PvE a thing so with testing in S2 they can potentially make room for a PvE raid in S3 or S4
English
@KnownAsSys Excision... When it loaded and you didn't get error coded.
English
The Final Shape was a fucking masterclass in live-service community events. The story. The week-long buildup. The day one raid. Excision being the first (official) 12-man activity to kill the Witness. Then the scene looking at the Traveler reflecting on everything.
Damn...
I really hope I see something that amazing again before I die.
FarrisOfThemAll@FarrisOfThemAII
This debuff from Final Shape's launch will always be my favorite one of these. You had this any time you were in the Tower during launch week before Salvation's Edge dropped and it was such a cool little detail that most players probably missed.
English
@Braepil @Chrizmo__ Just like ME did after Halo CE.... Bungie makes great games, but they need a steady hand to hold them accountable
English
@Chrizmo__ Dude Activision was surprisingly holding the whole thing together. Bungie celebrated when they went back on their own and everything instantly went to shit
English
This feels like Activision all over again
Paul Tassi@PaulTassi
@SkyAsassino That’s not what Bungie wants, but that’s on Sony
English
@paulrlma @callandor_ Ijust said we aren't getting a new expansion until D3. I didn't say D3 was coming
English
You're telling me the Destiny developers didn't know that the "Monument of Triumph" update was the final one for D2. You know, the update which closes out the game? The update that all of the developers were working on rather than the next DLC?
Paul Tassi@PaulTassi
Almost all of Bungie did not know about this until it was announced
English
@falloutplays Like a wet fart in a traffic jam... We all have to deal with it one way or another.
English
Well, it's just as that old saying goes: Upper Management has made their bed, and now literally-everyone-else has to lie in it.
English
@PaulTassi That was my thought. I was hoping the reason the HELM was in different locations each season was so they could put it in the director in different locations and let you go back and play those seasons.... Guess we got SRL instead :)
English
As far-fetched as it may be, the idea of rerunning old seasons with updated loot wasn’t half bad as a form of maintenance mode. Division did something like that. But yeah not gonna happen
English
They let management walk, or they Bungie walk with it?
If there isn't some clause that allows them to pull that back, then that is on Sony and their attorneys.
Acquiring a company that either misrepresented itself, or mismanaged itself into the ground (or both) seems like grounds for a termination of the contract... or something else defined within the acquisition.
Either way, expect a Jason Schrier book in a couple of years on it :)
English
@KalZakath I've been talking about this for what feels like forever now, but what are the odds sony just lets them walk with the money?
And you don't need 800 people to sustain Marathon.
English
I think people underestimate the structural apparatuses required to run an MMORPG
Under AvB Bungie had 1000+ employees, 2 satellite studios, and where still behind on producing content. Why?
Because they were working on other games, you can fallow this pattern back to Halo.
John Titor, Timewalker.@JohnTitorVT
I'm sorry but this idea that a studio of 800+ people at its peak failed because they made a second game for the first time in 15 years is just stupid beyond all rationale. The actual reason the game failed is because top leadership deliberately mismanaged the studio to inflate its value so they could directly benefit from its acquisition. EVERY problem with D2 that led to this is downstream of that reality.
English
@minabanano @AzerothPulse @Blizzard_Ent @BlizzardCS @Warcraft And don't forget, D2 currently has a higher player count than Marathon...
English
@AzerothPulse @Blizzard_Ent @BlizzardCS @Warcraft Except blizzard is constantly adding content aimed at casual gamers and such. Higher end players got plenty of content every season.
Exact opposite of bungee just forgetting about Destiny to make marathon. And then declaring it dead because of low player count.
English
Destiny 2 is shutting down.
Let this be a wake up call to @Blizzard_Ent / @BlizzardCS @Warcraft
Destiny was one of the best games ever made. With a highly dedicated playerbase.
Those players quit because of developer laziness.
Those players quit because of abusive, non existant customer support.
Those players quit because of auto bans.
Blizzard better think long and hard about this one.
English
@KalZakath @staycationtg Or work on destiny 3...
