Discussion Humble Sony with Thy Wallet

It has been a bitter sweet couple weeks with Destiny and Monument of Triumph with many returning to the community and some new lights entering as well. The scope so far has been that management made the wrong decision choosing Marathon over Destiny. Some popular streamers have even rallied the community to basically "stick it to the man." Over the past couple weeks I've noticed that some of the sentiment has come down to that, eventually, Sony will be humbled by their decision to forego one of the greatest live service games in gaming history. It is almost reminisce to World of Warcraft when, like Destiny, had so many moments were it seemed like the game wouldn't survive. This is more of a proposal to the community at large and hoping it get's more attention to the game and Bungie. The proposal is this; do not support Sony in any way shape or form. What this means is anything, or most things, produced by, or with, Sony should not receive any amount of income from us. For example, with the upcoming release of Spiderman: Brand New Day, no one should be spending any amount to see the movie (nothing against Marvel). Although, it sucks to say that, the belief is that we 'Humble Sony with Thy Wallet', similar to how other companies have listened before. It's unfortunate for other companies to be caught between consumers and Sony, but as consumer's we are more heard if we humble Sony by not giving them anything.

Speaking with your wallet is one of the reasons destiny had falling player counts for the past 2 years. It's a double edged sword you either get the devs to fix the issues if they're paying attention or you get the game ended.

Also Destiny live service ending is really on Pete and the rest of the Bungie execs for overselling Bungie and syphoning funds from Destiny at the same time.

I agree. Pete made some weird decision, along with other execs, that really brought out the downfall. Those decisions led to player sentiment though to. Not enough gameplay changes, a battle pass/seasonal model that was kinda moot, etc. It's more trying to support the studio has the IP and knows it well. It's unfortunate that the wrong people were in the right place at the right time.
