I went from full scale depression and being unable to function/unemployed for what felt like forever to getting two sick job offers in the same week. There is hope for everyone. Neither are in gaming/esports, I've successfully escaped.

Bungie is about to get a wake up call when they see the player counts after the raid. This is the most disgusting poorly thought out power grind I think I've seen in any game ever to be honest What's the point in grinding it after the raid lol

Massive L to not just let the RoTN weapons convert to T4/5 EoF weapons. The layup was right there and yet we get mid weapons in mid content with mid loot structure. Unlucky

Somehow the final two months of Heresy made me less excited for this expansion. Worst reward-time investment proposition arguably ever considering the circumstances. There are like dozens of mmos and rpgs to look at that do pre-launch events correctly yet somehow we got this.

I remember voicing opinions of New Light not being super great for new player retention and learning only to be told 'veteran players are our target demographic as they spend the most.' If only someone had the foresight to realize that human beings get older every year. 🙃

People acting like the Destiny expansion campaigns you play 3 times (2 of which are literally a chore) is why people come back or continue to play is mind boggling. If we can get RAD content every 3 to 6 months that's infinitely better than a one time use campaign every year.

Bungie talking about 'supporting' their people gives off big 'thoughts and prayers' vibes

After 7 years of service, I've just been laid off by Blizzard. It was a dream come true to work there & I'm saddened that my time was cut short. (Yes, I was rdy for this call with champagne...gotta celebrate the good times & opportunities I had!) What's next? I am available!

Hire him now 😠
F/A LFT. Yesterday was my last day at OpTic + Dallas Fuel. Unfortunately after 11+ years with Envy/OpTic I have been let go. The experiences I have had throughout the years will never be forgotten. From the Envy CoD days to the Overwatch era I have learned and grown so much in

What's crazy is Bungies been abusing workers for years, it's just normally temp contractors and not FTEs. The fact they couldn't give these people a heads up layoffs were coming a month or two ago to let them prepare their lives first is fucking disgusting.

Welp
Internally it seems The Final Shape was getting “good” but not “great feedback”. Pushing it back to June 2024 will give the developers more time to improve the product. (Via @jasonschreier) https://t.co/gfoqw0zvXl

The absolute goat. Any studio would be lucky to have him
I've been laid off from @Bungie. A surreal thing to write as I sit here pondering what went wrong. I'm still processing it all and while my first instinct is anger I know I'd regret what I'd say. Thank you to everyone at Bungie who helped make my last 5+ years the best ever.
