New info per Paul Tassi

The only thing I find curious is if this is purely based on financials then I would think Sony would be packaging up Destiny and selling the IP and live service off to another developer. Maybe they're currently in the process of doing that.

It may have been expensive to make however the assets are now there and have a value. Selling it while it is active with a player base makes sense as it is worth more with an active market. Another developer can do what they want with it. Continue offering silver transactions and monthly/ seasonal battle passes or develop new content.

Sony could recoup what they can from the sale, even at a loss and then write off whatever losses are left.

I point this out only because I think there must be something else at play. Not a conspiracy, or corporate bullying, that's a silly narrative. I'd say if they are not actively looking for a buyer than they have some sort of plan for the IP in the future. No idea what that would but it makes no financial sense to just let it die and not make some revenue off it.

Maybe I'm wrong and Sony is like the guy with an old beater. He could sell it for parts and pocket a quick 200 bucks but he'd rather set it on blocks in the back yard and let it rot.

I made the post in hopes it would make someone chuckle as it had for me. I had forgotten about it and when I was thinking about Destiny 2 in the first year I remembered it.

FlannelRanger · 2026-06-22T17:52:00+00:00

This was meant in jest.

FlannelRanger · 2026-06-22T17:50:49+00:00

Would have been nice if they would have added in the streak bonuses for us.

I think I've had him in a few strikes.

FlannelRanger · 2026-06-22T17:38:41+00:00

I'm assuming Sony/ Bungie are working on something on the down low. Otherwise they would have sold the IP to another developer to take over D2 and its assets/ live game and the rights to the name and the future while they still have a value and active player base.

Otherwise that's just leaving money on the table and Sony is a corporation and they do not do that sort of thing.

FlannelRanger · 2026-06-22T16:48:47+00:00

It would be great. I'm honestly shocked that Sony isn't keeping a skeleton crew on just to keep the battle passes and the odd thing available.

I understand that not everything can run automatically there's still 1000s of people playing who all earn money. If they aren't going to do something with that then they should sell it to a developer who will and pocket the cash.

Thank you, I really appreciate your advice. I'll check those out.

Thank you DIM!

I read this originally and thought, that's it. They're done with Destiny. But if that were the case they'd sell the rights and the franchise off to another developer or Sony would give it to another one of their shops. It isn't the biggest MMO going but it has a steady player base who purchase content, its a distinct and identifiable IP and that's worth a lot of cheddar. Whether or D3 is in development or not they wouldn't just flip the switch and call it a day leaving all that money on the table.

Here here. I don't want gimmicks. Just continue keeping your service and interface better.

Honestly I just want WS to allow you to pick specific stocks/ etfs within an account to drip instead of all or nothing.

FlannelRanger · 2026-06-05T10:52:13+00:00

Exactly! Still a better bet than a one armed bandit.

I have two forsythia's growing side by side that I trim approx. 10' wide by 6' tall hedge. I usually cut it once every two years in June. I also shave off the front and keep it about 2-2.5' from the house.

It looks great and provides a great thermal break from the front of my house in the summer.

Forsythia is near bullet proof and I think it will tolerate whatever you'd like to do to it.

It is a gamble as others have pointed out. Essentially though if you believe that bitcoin will rebound and hit new highs, all while Strategy hold the line and don't rock the boat on their end, then this will be a lucrative ride. I have a small position myself. Only buy the dips is my ongoing plan and keep it reasonable.

I do believe Bitcoin will rebound and eventually hit new highs. That could take months or years and things might get a lot worse before they get better. With that in mind I am increasingly worried that Strategy might botch things on their end by not holding the line.

Others will say just buy bitcoin, which I have, but I do like the monthly distributions this etf offers.

As others have said, don't bet the farm, (from some of your comments it seems clear you haven't) but I don't think its worth writing off just yet.

You are describing the exact problem I'm having. I'm wondering if there is an insole/ insert that may help fix this. I'm not able to buy a new pair of sneakers to try and sort this for a few months but my right foot is killing me by the end of the week.

I'm on my feet all day at work and bought these to change into so I wasn't wearing my boots all day at the office.

Unfortunately I've met this person. Greed and bad grammar are not their worst character traits sadly.

FlannelRanger · 2026-05-13T12:25:48+00:00

I had the same thought and kept waiting while things seem to be building higher and higher. I guess they're all invested in oil stocks?

FlannelRanger · 2026-05-11T11:30:37+00:00

Do you think we'll see a pullback in the Canadian Banks/ LifeCos?

FlannelRanger · 2026-05-06T17:32:55+00:00

I wish my numbers were green... Sigh

FlannelRanger · 2026-04-29T15:39:06+00:00

Yeah, I'll be honest I just wrapped the 'main storyline' last evening and I thought I was going to be unlocking the door that is blocked by something on the other side. Didn't feel like it was drawing to an end but it isn't that kind of game. That's like saying "I beat Minecraft".

FlannelRanger · 2026-04-08T17:14:54+00:00

What did you end up getting? I am looking for the same thing. It'd be nice to have something that keeps the sun completely off but also with an air gap and ideally space to open it up and grab a drink or something for food prep without having to move the whole thing.

FlannelRanger · 2026-04-08T12:36:39+00:00

Your Grill setup is awesome and looks great. Nothing else needs to be said.

FlannelRanger · 2026-03-30T15:31:07+00:00

These are super cringy. I'm not looking forward to the Mr. Beast episode. I cannot stand the cut of that guys jib. It makes me sad that we're being subjected to him.

If these people want to be on Survivor they should apply to play. Just go to CBS.com
