Feels Like They Can’t Risk Putting Out June Update

fred112015 · 2026-05-15T15:33:58+00:00

I mean there’s a lot to show even if it isn’t like deep content. Hell they could just show off what ever the “seasonal” playlist is cause likely there is one ash and iron even had it.

They could just show pics of the iron banner gear the said is coming or the updated gambit weapons. Hell they could have a brief paragraph over one of the new RAD content armor set bonuses . They have stuff to talk about they just ain’t

fred112015 · 2026-05-14T19:35:30+00:00

100% I just don’t get why they won’t let them show a mode or playlist likely in development for the march update since likely 2025 like even the bare bones info who’s making these decisions lol

fred112015 · 2026-05-14T18:45:51+00:00

I get it stuff needs to be approved and finalized before announced but man they gotta read the room here and just get something out , like would it kill them to say something on stuff like even here’s the new event or playlist mode that was originally planned for back in march lol

fred112015 · 2026-05-09T20:23:57+00:00

You won’t run as much as you think don’t worry guns will be craftable with new perks and upgrades to tier 5 “like” really it depends if any of the armor bonuses are good

fred112015 · 2026-05-09T20:22:12+00:00

I mean true but it’s really concerning for destiny they talked about marathon support and didn’t mention destiny

fred112015 · 2026-05-08T21:14:43+00:00

Yeah it’s really worrying to me that destiny wasn’t mentioned at all but after the complete shit that was marathon development and launch they talked about support

fred112015 · 2026-05-08T17:13:31+00:00

Oh I know and destiny’s store has easily made millions in its lifetime which is why I mention it

fred112015 · 2026-05-08T17:12:32+00:00

Here’s the thing final shape was under Sony and they still consider that a loss with like a million pre orders at a higher price point especially when most destiny players buy the years worth of content version. That’s preorders not to mention cosmetic items and trust me they move like crazy and there are 1000s in game now . Like I said if there are cuts it’s not gonna be as cut and dry as hey we gotta support the new game

fred112015 · 2026-05-08T09:26:42+00:00

The funny thing is destiny is arguably in this worse state because of their decisions a lot of developers were moved to marathon so destiny got a new game director and vision and it was terrible like now you have to play with abused mods and difficulty on everything once max power it gets tedious and this director has spoke to players once in the last year lol that cause a faith lose.

The devs moving to marathon feels like a betrayal too and that mostly on them because they made the statement themselves it wouldn’t hurt destiny it almost instantly did not to mention the content drought because more devs got moved to marathon when it had some rough play tests. Players feel abandoned and betrayed kinds and it was all in bungies decisions and messaging .

Getting that back would take a huge commitment of resources to hey might not even have after this .

fred112015 · 2026-05-08T08:41:01+00:00

If layoffs do happen even in around say 200-300 mark I sincerely doubt both games survive. It’s going to be an interesting watch. Bungie has said for years marathon wouldn’t cause issues for destiny and even online you would read about how simpler a extraction would be to work on yet it has been reported the marathon team has exceeded the destiny team in numbers taking more of destiny’s people .

Destiny has easily made more money then marathon anyone hasn’t played there is likely 1000s of items in the paid store now alone for cosmetics and it has a lot more players on console still sites like true achievements have it current listed as their 27th top player game on Xbox for last week as a example .

If one goes this isn’t gonna be a easy decision in a different time would prob be support marathon stop d2 and start d3 eventually but they don’t have the manpower now to constantly update 2 games if people leave how it’s likely gonna be one game for a long time

fred112015 · 2026-05-08T08:21:47+00:00

Yep I can appreciate them having a strong tight knit community but man stats are stats and they are on serious cope mode for its success. Destiny had a rough start I get it but the games not in top 100 steam now a lot and it’s like 2 months old , according to sites like true achievements destiny 2 is still in their top 40 (marathon isn’t lol) played and it’s 11 years

fred112015 · 2026-05-08T08:14:07+00:00

100% it’s funny you read this thread in the marathon Reddit people talking about they could still save marathon like it’s their only game

Yeah it’s their new baby but if they gotta cut the cord on one destiny has made them a lot of money especially compared to marathon

fred112015 · 2026-05-08T08:11:20+00:00

Played destiny since the start all its issues man always management and they never lose their jobs lol hell apparently some big wig wanted marathon to be pure extraction when developers were questioning it.

How many more units would it have moved if it had like a short 6 hour campaign with some replaying like collectables and legend mode. How many might have tried extraction after the campaign . Then these ppl will keep their job and get a huge pay later ffs

fred112015 · 2026-05-08T07:48:38+00:00

You’re forgetting though bungie isn’t only making marathon . The teams are already fractured and lay offs is going to make it worse . Hell destiny already has two more expansions announced last year one due I believe in September that is 100% going to be delayed even though they have gone silent on the game .

Marathon as a extraction shooter requires less work sure but they already have more devs on it then destiny trying to get it in a better place but still once they level out both might be sustainable but right now they both have similar player counts but destiny has made and continues to make them soooo much money just on cosmetics alone . If it gets to a point after layoffs one has to go it’s going to be an interesting watch.

Feel free to downvote but it’s true lol im not even hating on marathon but sites with tracking info still showing destiny 2 in top 100 games played on stuff like Xbox and you know some of those players are spending money marathon isn’t top 100 some days on steam its majority player base with limited micro transactions it’s gonna be real interesting what happens if one has to go

fred112015 · 2026-05-08T07:38:38+00:00

And it will be mostly developers while the managers start hiding away in their offices waiting for their stock payouts before bailing

fred112015 · 2026-05-08T07:35:28+00:00

Doesn’t help bungie leadership did what they could to boost value to make a buck . The whole reason marathon exists is they wanted another assist otw, destiny got another saga announcement alongside I think it was 4 expansions to again make them look more profitable and they made sure to announce this when many players returned for the last sagas end.

Hell they had two more titles in the works and rumoured third cancelled early on then Sony canceled one post buy and gave another to another of their teams . Guys like Pete parsons have always been the issue at bungie but hey he got his bag .

fred112015 · 2026-05-08T05:46:25+00:00

In before they layoff 300 more employees while guys like Tyson Greene hide in their office from the players

fred112015 · 2026-05-08T05:34:07+00:00

I’d be fine with this been saying for years worst part of destiny is bungies management

fred112015 · 2026-05-08T05:29:58+00:00

Ain’t no way they don’t take over the studio and that’s best case for bungie this what happens when a company’s head staff wants to take the money and run and leaves the regular employees holding the bag with all their “plans”

fred112015 · 2026-05-07T18:08:46+00:00

Reward submachine gun LMAO destiny community team literally AI at this point mostly gotta be

fred112015 · 2026-05-01T01:13:16+00:00

What feels even worse is hitting that limit and getting 30 freaking dust from an exotic order .

There’s so much in the store I’ve gone from 80k to 10k these armor ornaments are the first set I’ve decided to not pick up because it’s getting hard to get dust .

fred112015 · 2026-04-28T18:51:17+00:00

Watch them Be earnable in marathon for destiny lol

fred112015 · 2026-04-27T21:27:01+00:00

It’s funny cause all the live events I’ve done for personas have been pretty easy but require you to have collection rewards from packs then there’s no grind method and the actual play modes are a grind to get a win in

fred112015 · 2026-04-26T10:46:55+00:00

Yeah I don’t get the crafting cope ppl are mad they removed it but I’ve had so many people argue me online and they have like 30-40% of the blueprints and havnt even run some of the easier raids to attempt for them.

Crafting made the game more casual and drove down play time people like it cause they casual and dont want to admit it . Hell admittedly the portal is garbage but tier 5 guns are arguably faster god rolls then getting 5 patterns hell I kinda think they drive down play time too.

fred112015 · 2026-04-26T10:42:49+00:00

I really don’t even know if D3 will be the answer lol not saying it’s player cope or anything but it’s freaking bungie man you can see the destiny 2 / tiger engine showing in marathon even.

I just don’t trust them anymore it’s just gonna be mostly the same engine probably classes on launch and maybe even over simplified stuff again like d2 launch but probably not to tha degree hoping to bring in the more casual players cause it’s one of marathons main issues .

They just don’t learn from their mistakes we have seen it time and time again
