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.

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.
