Community interaction and engagement is central to Bungie and our games. For years, we've invited creators and other members of the community to confidential summits to provide feedback on the future of Destiny. This is a beloved part of the process, but relies heavily on trust.
— Destiny 2 Team (@Destiny2Team) April 14, 2023
If you are unfamiliar with Destiny 2, it is Bungie Studios' second best franchise ever (out of two). It's like World of Warcraft meets Call of Duty except instead play as solders, you're space wizards.
The median Destiny player has like 3000 hours logged in, proving that g*mers are subhumans who deserve less than nothing.
Earlier in March, there were some leaks of new weapons which are basically same as old ones, and some "exotic" armor pieces (which everyone has) would get like 5% worse: https://x.com/Bungie_Leaks/status/1637247451882225666
Today, Bungie made a surprise Tweet sounding like a BPD foid with all that "you breached my trust" and "I won't have s*x (secret summits) with you (streamers) until I can trust u again": https://x.com/Destiny2Team/status/1646967503690813441
Coincidentally, around the same time, a big Destiny streamer called Ekuegan made vague and ominous tweets - also sounding like a BPD foid - of basically "YOU'RE not breaking up with ME, I'M breaking up with YOU!!" He ended up 🔒ing the replies like a b-word.
Good morning. I don’t think enough about people that have wronged me or situations that have wronged me. I have gotten to a place where I am happy with who I am in life. I personally know the truth , I know who I am and I’m happy knowing it. Only god can judge me
Meditation ❤️
Complete with self-harm too!(?)
Punching bag or not, I’ll be here . Time to experience new games .
Blessing in Disguise. I see the real ones
Cue Liana "Hippy" Ruppert, a beloved community manager for Bungo and actual BPD foid. She went on to tweet how this deeply affected her and proceeded to argue in her replies:
Sometimes this job hurts. I don’t think people realize how attached to folks we are. As a human, not employee: when that trust is betrayed, it hurts. Same thing when I was a talent manager: it’s hard when you genuinely care. And we do. Please don’t abuse that trust.
We want you to succeed. I’ve seen so many creators lose entire brands because of one decision. If you’re under NDA, no matter the nature, HONOR that. Don’t show your friends, no matter how much you think you can trust them. VALUE yourself, because you’re amazing.
One last thing: we have people that handle this. Please do not try to seek out leakers, attack them, or seek to harm. Let our teams handle these things, it’s part of the job. Your job is to be amazing, be kind, drink water, and absolutely pwn as a Guardian 🤙🏼
She also made a 26-minute long video on this shit
She also got ratioed in her own replies lol
Reddit reacts:
New tweets coming from the Destiny 2 Team twitter suggest the leaker was a community member who leaked info from a community summit (🔒d by jannies)
Paul Tassi, who somehow gets employed by Forbes to write about this one video game, wrote an article on it.
This is not a witch hunt, this is reporting. He is the one Bungie has accused of being the leaker. He denies it. Please read the article
Forbes: "The Alleged ‘Destiny 2’ Leaker Is A Well-Known Streamer, And He Denies It Was Him"
Here's a bit of the article:
In a DM conversation with me on Friday night, Ekuegan confirmed that he has been accused of being the source of the leak by Bungie. Ekuegan is a high-profile Destiny 2 streamer and YouTuber who is famous for having run over 6,000 Grandmaster Nightfalls.
Each Grandmaster Nightfall takes ~20 mins to 1:30 to complete. There are 8760 hours in a year.

I hated both those games because you're forced to do these stupid fricking puzzle games while shooting at some bad guys. One r-slur forgets to step on the puzzle square and you just lost 45 minutes of your time. I'm so glad I stopped playing videogames a long time ago.

The game is way too confusing. I thought I was doing the "main campaign" and ended up on empty planet with pyramids and purple rivers, looking out into the abyss of space. Everything else was just grinding caves for loot and currency.
Genuinely think you need some form of autism to enjoy it.

destiny 1 somehow avoided this problem with a less cohesive design. the solution? not deleting half your content and having a simple quest replay option
destiny is such a frustrating failure. the end of d1 year one and the beginning of year two were so fricking good despite all the r-slurred decisions and cut content. then they released d2, ruined the weapon system, replaced all the gear, and made all the characters marvel r-slurs. I quit shortly after and the two times i went back it was even more convoluted and worse

You forgot to mention the best part. The started to fix the game again with Forsaken in D2, narrative and gameplay were both on a good track, then they released a shitty expansion while announcing some of the worst FOMO content ever devised in a video game. Everything you had earned up to that point would be made obsolete and all the content you had bought would be removed from the game. The backlash was so severe that they had to scrap their original plans for obsoleting your gear every 3 months and settle on a half measure of only obsoleting everything you'd earned up to that point.
Destiny as a franchise has some of the most consumer-hostile monetization in a video game, beaten only by pay to win mobile game trash, but somehow g*mers still eat it up because the guns are fun to shoot and the world is kind of cool. I can't imagine still giving money to a company after they take away something that you payed for.

came back to play specifically because my consoomer rl friends were losing their minds about forsaken. that gambit gametype was neat but the next expansion came out by the time i was around and as you said it had all the fomo stuff and i was just done.
oh that’s another thing. basically 0 times did a portrayal of someone mentioned in the surprisingly readable lore turn out well.

It's worse than that. Every time I find a Raid group on LFG, it's full of Bri'ish

YES I want to go in on the raids because I’ve liked destiny lore and want neat armor but all the jumping puzzles and squinting at the screen for tiny symbols and in what order you shoot them or kill enemies in or whatever is not what I want to do in a fricking fps
