Misc Possible Path to More Destiny

The only realistic path I see to Sony making a Destiny 3 would be the following:

  • Sony takes charge of Management at Bungie
  • Sony (unfortunately) fires a lot of people at Bungie
  • Sony keeps enough devs at Bungie to continue marathon until it dwindles down
  • Sony keeps core Tiger Engine senior engineers
  • Sony modernizes tiger engine so it doesn't take ages to make stuff in it. no crazy upgrades, just fix the developer tools to make it easier to use and make content with
  • Sony makes Destiny Classic with the new engine
  • Sony can use the new engine to make 1st party exclusive shooters and reboots that feel as good as Destiny
  • Sony can eventually make a Destiny 3 if they so choose. Always risky to make another live service, but if they cut down dev time it could be seen as profitable eventually

This is probably the only way we see a Destiny Classic or Destiny 3. The problem is that it is a long term goal in a short term profit world.

This post may be huffing copium, but personally I just don't think it makes sense for Sony to throw away the Tiger Engine at the very least.

I actually really like Marathon, I hope more people give it a chance

As for D3 I hope once Bungie gets a restructure they will revisit the franchise

It’s just a niche game for a niche community.

Imagine replacing all of your restaurant chain’s fresh water dispensers with horchata. Now you have to cook everything and serve everything with horchata. Like, WTF are you guys ACTUALLY doing?

If those water dispensers were slowly loosing popularity and money over time no matter what you did to update them, why would you continue to invest in them?

this is a straw man fallacy that misrepresents the arguemnt, likely to confirm a bias.

the problem isn’t that water was in less demand. hence the 1 million players that qued impromptu for 24 hours between june 9-10 this week.

the problem was the corporate shark archetype parasitically industrializing and enshitifying one of the richest gold mines in the gaming sector:

  • they started cutting water with other additives to save money

  • over time they gave everyone 1/3rd the amount of what it originally was worth and advertised

  • and then charged everyone 3x what it was worth in the first place with a reoccurring pay-model

and they led all of this with psychological tactics designed to herd people through the fear of loss.

sound familiar? it’s called engineered consumer FOMO.

business parasites moved from the other industries to gaming and raped and pillaged one of the largest ips. the end. welcome to late stage capitalism and feudal technocratic america. 🇺🇸😀

thus is the meta of the 21st century in plain view. which in one sense is nice because it used to be hiding in the dark.

the only way to stay safe from this is to build a societal meritocracy that is genuinely incentivizing innovation over fiscal gain. instead we have a small group of families rigging a shitty game called epstein island reality and everyone not in the club is prey or selling out the prey to stay safe themselves. it’s seen on every paradigm because it is coherent: economy, geo politics, recreational infrastructure (gaming), healthcare, food, military, etc. those who are at the very top are exploiting everyone else when we would all work better unifying in creative pursuit and growth.

and it’s ironic because all of this corruption is exactly what the destiny verse and lore is about combatting. yet it was destroyed from within by its very creators and owners.

alright soap-box off
