Thank you, got some hours of content to watch on the second monitor.
Not this shit again. You're just wrong. Look at Bungie's history with Microsoft, Activision and Sony. There's only one constant in all 3 shitshows, that's Bungie. It was always Bungie that mismanaged everything from the 90s up to now, and Microsoft, Activision and Sony had to come in and clean up the mess. Early on in the series Activision had to put 2 internal studios to help Bungie not only fix their shit, but develop additional content because "it was too hard" for Bungie. To the point that a significant portion of the community knows that some of the best content of the series came from Vicarious Visions and High Moon, not fucking Bungie. They only stopped helping when Bungie split from Activision.
As to who was responsible for all the talented people leaving Bungie, that's squarely on Bungie's board and particularly Jason Jones. Anyone who believes otherwise is just coping and/or uninformed.
You are 100% right and I really hate this "Activision Bad" when relating to Destiny/Bungie.
Don't get me wrong,
Activision IS bad, but we would probably at least still have an ongoing game if it was in their hands. It would probably be even more sloppified, but alive.
Despite all their issues, they know how to make business, which is why they abandoned the franchise, they knew it was a sinking ship 7 years ago.
The downfall of Destiny is the fault of Bungie, and them alone.
I remember my guild friends back in Destiny 1 discussing Activision bad, and I was always very wary of it, because I know that Activision is souless but they know how to adjust their games to make money. COD is still alive after 20 years for a reason. Then when word got out that Activision was no longer with Bungie, they were all huffing insane amount of Hopium, just saying "finally Bungie is free to do the game they wanted

", and I was sideeyeing them.
In reality, Activision was very likely the tard wranglers that kept the game going for 9 years or something.
It is so over guys. Warframe won.
True, but its been the case for a long time.
I dont like Digital Extremes because they are very troon pilled, but they have some passion for their game at least.
The fact that they kept the game alive for like what, 15 years (?) as a FREE GAME just selling optional skins and shit is insane.
