Sony is slowly taking over Bungie. It was announced today. To me this is great news. I do not think the studio is in good hands right now with how unsuccessful Edge of Fate is and the disaster showing of Marathon. I am not rooting for Bungie and the people who care about Destiny to fail. I want the studio to take a new direction and finally listen to the fan base. I hope their is a new vision for Destiny and one that will bring it back to its "Golden Age" We will have to wait and see.
I also have a theory that Renegades is something that Sony wanted.

Good. People are worried Sony would kill it. I guess they forgot that its from Bungie in the first place. Quick replacement would be cool, but incredibly unwise. Slow is the way to go. So, Sony is already making better decisions.

It's like jumping out of the fire and into the frying pan 🤣

Destiny 2 is f**king dead. Sony can try life-support, but it's a waste of time and money. Eliminate EVERYONE at Bungie who even sneezed in the direction of Edge of Fate (and all the F**KING changes "we" asked for (we obviously meaning streamers and "content" creators), and start with something new, Sony. We won't ask again. One chance for redemption. DON'T F**K IT UP. 'nuff said

Let us face it: This September/ October Destiny 2 will be 8 years old. We all know the issues it currently has- and I am not talking game direction- or how game modes are handled - as that’s a matter of personal taste if you like it or not. Bugs- seem more constant. PvP- more lag seems to be happening. Updates- more frequent updates- that has started a few years ago. Also that takes longer- and typically cause more issues afterwards. Major Updates- New DLCS- are often hard to play day one if not even day three at times. Old and or likely broken code that seems to cause missions and enemies not to function correctly. Old Engine- Tiger- is a 17 year old engine- by modern standards- especially for an online multiplayer live service game. With my research and understanding- that can be a big reason for many of the problems- or at least contribute to them. 17 years old is old from a technology standpoint. 8 years is old from a game standpoint. IMO- there’s not -going to be a “Golden Age”. for Destiny 2. From a time, resources and money standpoint- it’s probably easier and more efficient and less costly to start over, than trying to update an 8 year old game to a new “Golden Age”. If there is a “Golden Age” it will be in some new game- Destiny 3 or some form of a Destiny Universe. New game benefits: Could be built on a new and modern engine. Code would be up to date and new. Likely drop oldest gen consoles- that would let them build a new game on the most up to date graphics and technology. Anyways, just my thoughts.

Need Sony Japan. The American branch needs done away with. Japan still hires and promotes based on experience, talent, skill, and work ethic. Not social politics. Bungie care far more about the company photo and virtue signaling.

Edited by Alleviate_Fate: 8/8/2025 2:36:51 AMYou know Sony has a 0 rate with live service games. Remember concord yeah that will be destiny. The cfo also stated d2 and two other games were responsible for 40% profit so i doubt they are ready for absolute take over. A lot of journalists are just blowing smoke because Sony said integration is possible...

You're cheering because instead of a bear mauling you, a jaguar is gonna be mauling you.

Renegades is castlevania style. It's the other half of Luke Smith's payback game, the first half is edge of fate. It was a game built to follow destiny, but was cancelled & is being used for this year. Idk what castlevania style is btw, but the 2 halves of payback were metroid style & castlevania style, & edge is metroid.

What you want in the game is not what I want.
-
So to be clear, you want Sony to take the game in a new direction, and you also think a 'Star Wars' themed expansion was their idea. Is that what you had in mind when referring to its "Golden Age?"
-
Its unfortunate, Sony doesn't manage online games well.

I am abit hesitant on this, they might be able to turn d2 around but there are so many other factors to take into account too.
