Question for anyone who knows game development.
Maybe I'm remembering completely wrong here... But. One reason bungie stated siva wasn't coming back is because adding the textures would be too much work and too time consuming. Yet, the new activity has siva in it. Not only is siva there it's been dulled and made to look dead. Is that not more work? To port or recreate siva in this new activity and take time to make it look dead? I expected the plague lands with literally no siva present at all. I fully understand Bungie hates money and doesn't want to bring siva back, but was that just a made up excuse?

The textures on the dead bodies look REALLY low resolution compared to normal and they're all in like 2 different poses which looks super awkward. So I doubt they were lying about that but the big reason has always been that they're a unique enemy type with unique weapons, traits, and abilities. And it'd be tough to bring em back. Maya would probably choose quicksilver the more advanced siva instead, and the only working replication chamber that isn't quicksilver is in our hands. Bungie likes to break lore but I doubt they wanna break lore, spend like a year developing siva enemies, and then abandoning them after 1 season and MAYBE wrath of the machine.
