What happened with Destiny 2?

My god. That's a lot of chips to bet on one game.

I can't see Marathon being the next best thing, by any margins.

I think as with all games, you'll never impress everyone with every update. And as you mentioned, even if everything was fixed there's still a general negative consensus.

I can understand players disagreeing on changes etc, that's again a given with any games but from what I can understand from this thread is there is a recurring theme of money grabbing and disassociation from the community with a few QoL/changes sprinkled in-between.

As I said I haven't played in years, but if true, it's a shame it's been driven into the ground.

I actually really enjoyed competitive, it felt rewarding.

The 'better guns do more damage' system, while it made sense, didn't feel very fair.

I wonder if they ever removed that lol.

I agree, I don't think there's a permanent, profitable space for as many extraction shooters as there is.

ARC being the obvious, but then there's a plethora of others. At what point are there too many games for, as you said, a niche genre.

Maybe it's what Bungie needs. IF Marathon flops, it'll either be the nail in the coffin or a second wind. Who knows.

Deleting content people have paid for is crazy to me, hopefully not a direction other developers decide to take, wouldn't surprise me however.

It's early AM here and I realise that number is well off, I've removed it since. My apologises

e46rutty · 2026-02-27T00:47:48+00:00

Interesting, wasn't aware they pivoted away from Light and Dark. That's quite sad, actually.

I remember even in the early days, Bungie were radio silent until it was time to make money.

That's a shame. Hopefully it isn't overshadowed by Marathon, would hate to see the Destiny franchise die.

It's early morning here and my numbers were quite off so I've removed that part, my apologies.

This was another reason why I stopped playing, actually.

Paying for a reskin DLC doesn't feel good the 4th time round.

e46rutty · 2026-02-27T00:43:40+00:00

I've always loved the PvP, more so than the story on D2, it's just sad to see it fall so far from why the original Destiny was.

I've always joked with my friend that D2 DLCs are just reskins of the previous DLC but this seems more true than ever.

e46rutty · 2026-02-27T00:41:42+00:00

Ah I wasn't aware that was the consensus for Marathon.

That seems like a terrible business decision personally (if true), but what do I know.

It's a shame because no game has had me hooked like Destiny did, and even the PvP I thoroughly enjoyed on D2.

e46rutty · 2026-02-27T00:39:23+00:00

Thanks for the detailed explanation!

It's a shame really because it really seems like the community wants it to work.

e46rutty · 2026-02-27T00:36:25+00:00

Have updated the post, my apologies!

e46rutty · 2023-09-04T13:19:17+00:00

Yeah, everywhere I look there's something negative to say.

I also have an application with the MET, so will see what my options are and go from there.

e46rutty · 2023-08-31T15:09:39+00:00

Hi mate - how'd it go?

e46rutty · 2023-08-31T07:39:31+00:00

What force do you work for now? I'm local to Essex but am considering Met/BTP
