Bungie’s Greatest Enemy Was Bungie (RANT)
Bungie was the gold standard of developer-player relationships, but the current state of Destiny 2 tells a different story. It wasn’t a lack of talent or a lack of resources that brought us here... it was pure hubris. And Destiny 3 hangs in the balance because of it. From ignoring community warning signs for years to treating the player base like an infinite piggy bank, Bungie’s management seemed to believe they were entirely untouchable. In this video, I rant about how a pattern of arrogant decision-making, studio leadership missteps, and the systematic mismanagement of Destiny 2's live-service model has left the studio in its most fragile position yet. Has the studio finally run out of goodwill, or is there a way back from the edge? Let me know your thoughts in the comments. --- ## 🤝 Support & Partnerships You help power the show!
