Bungie is dead. Which is a sentence I never imagined I would ever say. How truly sad. They fired the people that made the company what it was, and immediately sold out to Sony. Its over.
Destiny 1 was so good, too. The gunplay is awesome. But the rest fucking tanked it.
I was also very interested in Sony doing the Last of Us Factions. It was a bunch of fun, unique game modes (with a weird meta "game" on top of it I ignored). All the reports that it was either set back or reworked or whatever because Bungie didn't think it was GaaS-ified enough fucking killed me. Now I don't know if I'll even be interested if it does happen.
Destiny 1 had a cool idea, but you could tell it got chopped up to be resold as DLC later. It was certainly more "finished" as a concept than D2, but after a few DLCs the game was kinda soured. It was basically just quasi-MMO Halo Reach still at that point.
The Dreadnaught, which was my favorite area in D1, was originally the vanilla endgame area. It was planned to be in the game from the beginning. Joe Staten literally had everything all laid out, and Jason Jones banned him from working on it and stole all his ideas, then hacked them all to pieces.
