    Bungie shits in your mouth, consistently, over the course of D1’s life cycle.

    “No it’s not Bungie, it’s Activision!”

    Bungie splits from Activision in D2

    Proceeds to release Shadowkeep

    Crickets

    Fast forward to Lightfall.

    “Noooo, it’s Sony! Sony is at fault!”

    God damn, the excuses Destiny players make for what is a shit company will never cease to amuse me. Idk what Bungie’s collective cum tastes like but it must be fucking ambrosia considering the lengths the community goes to defend them. That corpo-speak in the TWABs is puttin’ in work!

      I don’t even play Destiny. Never tried Destiny 2 either. Honestly, the last time I pad any attention to it was when the internet was focused on making fun of Peter Dinklage talking about wizards on the moon.

      I think I tried it once and found the “loop” to basically be a reskinned version of Halo’s main gameplay loop but without the compelling narrative to drive me to progress forward. But really my response wasn’t about Destiny itself, but what is happening in the larger picture of the game industry (again… I know it’s a lot to ask for someone to pay attention to the previously linked 10-minute long video that summarizes EVERYTHING shitty about the game industry right now, but you can listen to it while you come up with up your next gross analogy in response to what I’ve typed here that you probably won’t even read).

      “No it’s not Bungie, it’s Activision!”

      Correct. Publishers are usually the main issue.

      Bungie splits from Activision in D2

      I don’t even know what that is and don’t give a shit.

      “Crickets”

      Fast forward to Lightfall.

      Also don’t know and don’t care. Again - not what I was addressing.

      “Noooo, it’s Sony! Sony is at fault!”

      Yes. Sony, like Activision - is also a publisher and gigantic corporation who cares more about making as much money as possible - usually by selling TVs and making bad Spider-Man-adjacent films (and to be fair - somehow also not ruining a good one), but also making you pay like what is it now? $120 a year…? Just to play online with your friends and replay old PS1 games you already own but they want you to pay for again.

      God damn, the excuses Destiny players make for what is a shit company will never cease to amuse me. Idk what Bungie’s collective cum tastes like but it must be fucking ambrosia considering the lengths the community goes to defend them. That corpo-speak in the TWABs is puttin’ in work!

      Ahhh, wow… it feels like it’s 2001 again and I’m on a shitty forum reading posts… but now I’m the old guy reading stuff from edge-lord teens rather than posting it myself. It’s almost nostalgic. But really, you’re obviously someone who is completely and willfully ignorant to what goes into game development, how the game industry currently works, and honestly… you kinda almost seem to deserve shitty games given who it is you continue to think is responsible for bad games despite all the evidence posted here to the contrary. I mean… if that isn’t even beginning to make you think about questioning your weird gross metaphor related to bodily fluid tasting, I don’t know what to say, bud.

      I would say I wish there was a way for you to never enjoy Destiny ever again because you’d rather direct hate toward the people who strive to make good games rather than the suits actually responsible for everything you (and me and everyone else who loves games) truly hate, but considering the sort of aimless flailing vitriol you already seem to have for a game you must have once enjoyed, I’d imagine that such a wish would be wasted as it largely seems to have already come to pass.

        Icing on the cake? Shadowkeep is the first expansion dropped by Bungie for d2 without Activision. It is also widely acknowledged as the worst expansion. Congratulations, you’ve written an essay and proven you just shouldn’t be weighing in on this. At all.

        The more words you use in your next essay won’t help, you don’t know what you’re talking about. It’s almost like you got an AI to spit this out with how much cherrypicking you do. What’s the term for a sealion that weighs in on something they know nothing about?

          lol, called it. I should’ve known I used too many words for you to read. Would it help if I posted it to TikTok? Or maybe used 🇧​​​​​🇮​​​​​🇬​​​​​🇬​​​​​🇪​​​​​🇷​​​​​ 🇱​​​​​🇪​​​​​🇹​​​​​🇹​​​​​🇪​​​​​🇷​​​​​🇸​​​​​… or shorter words?

          What’s the term for a sealion that weighs in on something they know nothing about?

          Whatever your user name is I guess.

          But seriously, I literally worked in the game industry for years, not that it matters - because nothing I’ve posted requires any sort of “expertise” to recognize. Just publicly available info. Not that you care, but I personally know people affected by these and the previous round of layoffs at Bungie.

          However, I guess because I haven’t played Shadowkeep or whatever the latest Destiny expansion is called, I’m “sealioning” because I keep… looks at definition for logical fallacy “pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence.” Great job attempting to reference a logical fallacy, debatelord.

              🤣 You’re literally not capable of basic communication.

              I think it’s silly to spend any more time discussing anything with since you stop reading after 2 sentences, and - like a moth to fire - zoom in on a couple of key little trigger words in any given response without actually engaging a single point.

              You… please name the logical fallacy I’ve employed.

              I didn’t say you engaged in a logical fallacy. You literally said I was “Sealioning.”

              I was making fun of you for saying that since you seemed to be misusing the term.

              Oh wait! Maybe you didn’t know that term was referencing a common logical fallacy and you just think a “sealion” 🦭 is a real zinger of an insult? 🤷‍♂️

              By the way, I hope you appreciate I’m trying to keep it short and am now incorporating images and emojis to make it easier for you to read. Love ya, buddy. 😘

                No I just don’t read what you’re saying, mainly because I’ve got better things to do with my time than to read a nobody bloviate about something they don’t understand. Your experience doesn’t matter, do you know why?

                I’ve refuted your claim that it’s somehow all the publishers fault. You, for some reason, think that Bungie releasing a terrible expansion the first time they’re free from a publisher somehow doesn’t obliterate your argument.

                You’re absolutely sealioning btw, you can keep the corpo speak to yourself. I’m not reading it, because it’s just a waste of my time. There are plenty of devs to defend, Bungie is not one of them.
