This is the game I put more time on my entire life. I ditched it back in 2022-2023. Greed ruins everyone’s lives, that’s all I can say.
Shit man, I quit after a couple years of playing the first one. Too much time researching and not enough playing. That’s when I decided I was done with these games that don’t give you all the info you need in the game itself. Don’t think I ever even installed 2. Doesn’t even work on Linux.
Do you mean it doesn’t work natively on Linux or via Proton?
Neither. Anticheat.
They have an active stance against Linux. Destiny and Destiny 2 doesn’t work on Linux. I would have played it.
Warframe gonna get a shit ton of new players.
Wake up, Tenno…
Bungie believes they’ll play Marathon. lol
Oh, it’s already been more than a year since Destiny players hopped to Warframe.
Destiny 2’s online has not been what it used to be for quite a while now. And why would it be when Bungie managed to break the main gameloop and then proceed to not fix it until literally the final update of the game?
Destiny 2 died a long time ago. Sure people were playing with its corpse but they’re finally getting bored with that too. Shame bc there’s a lot of fun stuff in there (especially the stuff they ripped away from their paying customers already) that will go away forever.
Died when they decided to put the onus of their development debt onto paying customers and throw shit they paid for in the trash.
Dude I distinctly remember the day I logged back on after a few months away to find entire planets just removed. Literally played for 5 minutes until I got mad and haven’t been back since.
I had only recently gotten into the game when they did that. I hadn’t quite got to play some of the content they “vaulted”. I quite literally never logged in again.
Been dead to me since no Linux support.
Yeah I own Destiny 2, but when I converted to Linux, I stopped playing it. It wasn’t good enough to dual boot for one game.
I miss when video game companies made video games and not “not live service models.”
I bailed on Destiny 2 after Shadowkeep when they announced content vaulting and I never looked back. The writing was on the wall back then that the game will end up in a ditch. My experience with Destiny 2 is basically frozen as of Shadowkeep so it’s relatively positive but I just can’t understand how anyone could tolerate player hostile decisions Bungie has made over the years. Here is Aztecross’ video explaining some of them including pay to win elements. His video is already two years old so I’m sure even more nonsense has been added to the game since. Destiny franchise started out as something special but it died as a horrific heap of anticonsumer garbage due to unchecked greed of a corporation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsIdPWB2_JA
I bailed on D2 shortly after Curse of Osiris even though I bought the first 2 expansions. Never even played the second expansion. I think I had around 2000 hours in D1 and D2 just didn’t feel the same. I didn’t like the changes they made so I just stopped playing it altogether.
I had 4000 hours in D1 and over 6,000 hours in D2 even though I haven’t played either game since July of 2025. Edge of Fate just looked boring as hell, the portal and all the other changes they made totally turned me off from the game. I waited eagerly while they released Renegades but saw no relief to the things that bothered me. Not to mention the fact that renegades just made it look even more like Bungie had no concept of what the identity of Destiny should be. It once again just started copying other games or concepts. If I wanted to play a Star wars game, I’d play a Star wars game.
Marathon however does not appeal to me in any way. I don’t give a rat’s ass about extraction shooter games. Why they decided to pour so much time and energy into such a niche game makes no sense to me. We all know they’re going to add PVE as an add-on game mode. But that’s just it, it’s going to be an add-on. Unless it’s extremely robust and thought out and deep, it’s not going to retain players. It may attract some new ones temporarily, but that won’t last. If Bungie can’t keep up with the pace of development needed to support Destiny 2, what makes people think they’ll be able to do it for Marathon?
Marathon will never generate the revenue that Destiny 2 ever did simply because they chose such a niche game type. They can add whatever game modes they want but at the end of the day it’s still an extraction shooter and it’s primary focus will still be more on PVP in a world where there are plenty of other extraction shooter games out there that have far more players and are far more fleshed out and are far more inviting to new players of all skill ranges.
It’s a sad day indeed and a shitty way to end a 12-year franchise.
I swore that Bungie was dead to me the moment they walked back their plans to carry player gear over from D1 to D2. Every single thing I’ve ever learned about D2 has been secondhand and it has all completely validated that decision.
Man, I was hooked for a long time before I woke up and smelled the business model. I haven’t touched it in years, but I do miss the lore. Always thought it was their strong suit. Maybe they can set a better, non-live-service game in the same universe, but this is Bungie. Not gonna happen…
I bought the Destiny PS4 when the game launched. I knew I was basically signing up for World of Halocraft and all the bs that comes with it.
But what did surprise me was how poor the execution was. Every single DLC made all the previous gear/items COMPLETELY USELESS.
Yeah. I quit when a green floor item was a higher light level than the legendary yellow emperor launcher.
It was so liberating to just… uninstall and never look back, lol
isn’t this how MMOs work ? you’re asking for horizontal fearing which is less traditionally(GW2 does it) but most MMOs do not.
FFXIV also kinda avoids this as well, if you grind for endgame gear it tends to carry you to a little over the halfway point or to the end of the next expansion before the patch cycles start. Like gear from 7.55 (last patch of old expansion) should carry you through most of 8.0 (new expansion launch).

Not exactly. Did you play the first seasons? Basically every dlc there were items you’d farm to buy gear (or something it’s been a decade now and I forget) that became completely obsolete when the next dlc came out.
Most rpgs you can sell those items. But in Destiny you had to delete them.
I played tf out of MMOs. It wouldn’t have stood out to me if it was at all a typical experience.
Unpopular Opinion: It should have ended after The Final Shape, not hobbled along.
Not unpopular at all. That’s precisely when I stopped.
Now that they’ve given up on it they are going to open it up to Linux, right?
Hahahaha
I wouldn’t a game that is still playable call “be dead”. Destiny 2 enters the “retirement” stage.
I am eager to hear Skeletor’s opinion on this.
I have played a lot of Destiny 2, I really enjoyed Final Shape and just after but the portal was the beginning of the end. It killed the flow and the scale of the game in one go.
I’ll probably jump in for some of the changes and to slaughter a few teams in Gambit one more time but I doubt I’ll play much at all after that.
I’d love if SKG was able to get some wins before they pull the plug entirely. Allow the community to keep it running, let them restore the lost content, unlock/add cosmetics, etc etc.
A guy can dream…of essentially what games were 15-20 years ago.
If I could play the two games from start to finish right now, I probably would. As it stands, I don’t regret sitting this out.
