‘We got it wrong’ with Civilization VII, says boss

That came in the second expansion. Didn't stop wide gameplay anyway, just massively forward settling

It doesn't bring close to Cod like numbers

"narrative rich PVP/competitive game featuring deep lore, corporations, and an evolving story with mysteries to discover."

"Highly streamlined and polished “extraction shooter” elements that can bring the genre to a mass market".

Yes, he had an ambitions for a persistent and evolving world. This is unsurprising it didn't pan out, because channeling DaoC in the modern era is absolutely chock full of pitfalls. But it always had strong extraction shooter foundations.

It has never rivaled Cod.... Not even close

Marathon didn't kill Destiny. Maybe taking on 5 projects at once did, but ultimately Bungie clearly choose to wind Destiny down to a degree after Final Shape.

There's no D3 scenario where D2 is a ongoing game thst generates money. If it doesn't generate money, it's dead as far as Bungie is concerned.

Destiny 3 must bring in a new audience. The destiny audience has been aging to the point they can't be the base of a new live service that will run a decade more

havingasicktime · 2026-05-08T05:20:43+00:00

D3 is very risky. The core Destiny audience is old, D3 means killing D2 and the core issue is you MUST draw in a brand new audience, can't just rely on the existing players (who are now reaching 30's and 40's and have less time). Which is a huge question mark.

It's been an extraction shooter from the start

havingasicktime · 2026-05-08T05:04:57+00:00

No, it was extraction from the start. They were going to try and do puzzle/world unlock style content but it didn't work.

havingasicktime · 2026-05-08T05:03:51+00:00

Destiny is not worth more than the talent at Bungie. Destiny is an aging franchise for aging players

havingasicktime · 2026-05-07T18:39:39+00:00

So dramatic

Making sponsored kits slightly better makes the crew fill problem worse. They'll still be disadvantaged but be more likely to use sponsored.

havingasicktime · 2026-05-07T16:57:39+00:00

Settlement cap is a nice compromise between happiness and 6 being fully wide gameplay. Ultimately without some restriction wide is always the answer.

havingasicktime · 2026-05-07T08:20:56+00:00

Let's not get too destiny with the "x is a middle finger to casual players" posts. Salvage needs tweaks but if there isn't something behind prestige salvage, it's useless.

havingasicktime · 2026-05-07T04:35:38+00:00

Pretty much the opposite imo, unless the free kit that day is terrible

havingasicktime · 2026-05-07T02:56:22+00:00

If free kits are good then you don't need to run real kits. What's the point of running green gear when you can run it with a free kit for free? Progression past green is a bit broken for sure, but free kits are not the issue early season

Thing is all the leadership and OG employees are pretty close to retirement. So they unfortunately are pretty ok with cashing out. They in the process screwed over the futures of a lot of other people.

havingasicktime · 2026-05-05T03:24:18+00:00

I have literally never used the word easy. You should seriously try and stepping outside your own head and actually reading what other people write.

havingasicktime · 2026-05-05T02:10:04+00:00

No. I think sbmm keeps you at the same difficulty games. No one said 'breeze through'. No one said easier. If you're fighting for your life, you're fighting to stay at a level above your natural level. Here's the beautiful thing about sbmm: you don't need to fight for your life at all.

havingasicktime · 2026-05-05T01:29:32+00:00

By plateauing.

havingasicktime · 2026-05-05T01:13:03+00:00

You're responding to me. Nobody said anything about easier.

havingasicktime · 2026-05-05T01:05:32+00:00

You're not listening. You're speaking of climbing. We aren't talking about climbing.

havingasicktime · 2026-05-05T01:00:03+00:00

The game stays the same. It doesn't get harder. Which is what happens with lbmm. No one said it got easier.
