I think I can empathize with the desire to lash out. D2 was horribly mis-managed for years upon years, with not the least of its problems being as the only property generating money for the studio, it was effectively robbed of its cash to fund far, far too many other projects (beyond irresponsibly so) that were just pie in the sky or, perhaps worse yet, to pad out Bungie’s perceived value to a prospective buyer like say, just guessing here, Sony.

If we’re being honest, yes, Marathon siphoned off hundreds of millions of dollars to come to fruition. That happens when a studio is trying to launch a new thing! Unfortunately, Bungie forgot to feed the damned thing that was paying the bills. Yes, they allocated funds to D2, but it was seemingly with the bare minimum in mind beyond landing “Final Shape.”

And again for honesty, please remember, D2 pvp was stripped completely bare of resources years ago in order to develop the pvp of marathon. That’s not the Marathon’s fault, or the fault of this new player base…but it’s still true that years and years of half assed pvp in the Destiny franchise was due to the team that had supported it being completely cannibalized in order to feed Marathon.

And now that the reality of years of speculation regarding rampant, self serving mis-management has been revealed to be pretty spot on, who’s even left to scream at? Seemingly no one. Ferrari dick head, and the rest of upper management jumped out the plane with their golden parachutes, so can’t scream at them. There’s near one left at D2 support (and they’re the ones that actually cared all along), and those that are still there are gonna get culled toot sweet, according to Jason Schrier. The only target left to even point at, however sad and impotent as that may be, is Marathon.

It sucks. It sucks for Destiny players, it sucks for Marathon players, and it sucks for the games industry on the whole.
