The whole problem with Destiny 2 as a live service is that there were multiple bombs even before Marathon. https://www.resetera.com/threads/%E2%80%AAjason-schreier%E2%80%AC-bungie-is-planning-significant-layoffs-destiny-3-is-not-in-active-production.1527352/page-4 If anything, I’m more surprised that Sony seems to double down on Marathon. 4 users liked this post: benji, Hap Shaughnessy, HeavenIsAPlaceOnEarth, Taco Bell Tower

Man, that Bungie thread is pure
Bungie has been terrible for a while, but this time they fucked up and can't buy their way out of their contract. Like they could with Activison Feel for their staff but welcome to the game business. 4 users liked this post: filler, HeavenIsAPlaceOnEarth, kaleidoscopium, Taco Bell Tower

Rocksteady is going to get another one despite the Suicide Squad disaster. Bungie, The Initiative, Firewalk, etc. basically didn't release anything by the traditional model, after spending hundreds of millions of dollars over years. Like, what the fuck are companies supposed to do, throw money at the names of studios even though nobody who built the prestige is still there and the studio is wasting years sucking down massive amounts of resources? I think they really believe that "money people" should just throw money endlessly at studios that don't produce anything. The whole industry should be a charity. (Unless the developers wear the wrong t-shirt or go on the wrong podcast or say anything positive about AI.) I'm glad PlanetSmasher was YELLING LOUDLY about acquisitions but if Microsoft didn't roll out the charity they did for all those studios they'd be dead too. They're lucky Microsoft borderline doesn't care about their game studios financial performances. You're nuts if you think Bethesda could have ate Redfall and Starfield while taking their sweet time on Elder Scrolls VI if Microsoft hadn't bought them. You think The Coalition and 343i would have been able to waste the time they do without releases under anyone else? And this isn't even true, a single bomba has killed companies forever. Haze ended Free Radical. Lair ended Factor 5. Epic Mickey 2 ended Junction Point. APB destroyed Realtime Worlds. Too Human essentially ended Silicon Knights. Darksiders II probably would have ended Vigil even had THQ not gone bankrupt. 1 user liked this post: Taco Bell Tower
