My Future With Destiny

stop by some time would love to meet ya live / mactics

[@DragonBornHero]

The distraction of Monster Hunter and Destiny 2 helped me stay clean from drugs. 5 years and still counting. Have to thank the content creators I watched for inadvertently helping and all others who helped on the journey. Thank you, Legends

[@ericmagana5064]

Congratulations dude! I’m proud of you for your dedication to stay clean.

[@michaelflood1068]

Mactics, what has drawn me to your channel was Destiny - I was a new solo player, going through a rough patch in life, and wanted to learn about the game. What has kept me coming back is your genuine kindness and "pay it forward" focus. That's central to everything you do. It won't change if the lights go out on Destiny. Hang in there, you'll figure things out.

[@Hey_its_Bunnie]

This is my world of warcraft, I'll stick with this game no matter what. If I can survive the highs and lows of dlc's I can survive the "end". My bestfriend passed away and he was my rat pack x2 I can't let that go. Good luck to you and the future of this channel can't wait to see where you go from here.

[@orim]

My heart goes out to you for the loss of your longtime partner in crime through life. Losing online friends is crushing enough for me, I'd lose my compass if I lost my best friend irl. I hope you continue to find ways to smile and explore life, even with that empty seat next to you.

[@LawfulChaotic1]

I felt that on a whole ‘nother level, man. My prayers go out to you… unfortunately, all of my friends left Destiny. No one left in my clan now. Unfortunately, I must leave too… which hurts to say, as a player since the beta of the first game.

[@To-B-Continued]

Started Destiny during the Alpha days in 2014. Been playing ever since.

[@SlimeScholar]

Anyway you would spend a Tuesday or Wednesday with a fellow D1 beta guy on dual destiny? I am not asking for a carry I got my character ready to go. Just need a friend lol 😅

Same here my guy. I mean I've dropped it a few times but I still come back from time to time

[@stonie8629]

@@expiredflashdrive I used to do that a lot but i find myself coming back less and less, havent played since Mid June and i didnt only played lightfall for a week, destiny is just getting really boring...

[@expiredflashdrive]

@@stonie8629 yeahh I enjoyed the final shape campaign and was stoked to see what bungie "cooked" with the episodes since they said it'll be different than the normal seasonal content but proved to be the exact same, give or take a few things.

[@MM-qr9vq]

Take a break and come join us in warframe

[@NezumiMusic]

I've been browsing Twitter on this matter all week (bad choice), and then immediately hopping on the game and I'm still having fun. I'm still creating memories with friends- doing 4-man raids and silly challenges and grinding out content that we love doing. The game has never felt dead to me, and while everything we've heard this past week has been disappointing and rather detrimental, I'm so glad there's someone out there who believes we're not done playing Destiny. I've been an ongoing player thanks to meeting my partner during Season of the Seraph, right before Lightfall. Before that I was a very casual reoccurring player with the D1 beta and even pre-ordering the release of the Taken King. But my love for the game has never been stronger than now, and I've felt so excited to be a part of this game and community. So seriously. Thank you, Mactics.

[@ukaryotik]

@@Sobergamer61 facts!! love to see theres more out there with my views 😉

[@ioritenshi]

It's because you still have your friend circle with you. Even having cancer is better with friends. The the first one dips, followed by another and another until you are alone 😂 Same shit

[@ioritenshi]

​@@Sobergamer61maximum copium 😂 bungie cant even pay the bills anymore lol back then they were in an ascension, now they are facing a hell of a dip

[@NezumiMusic]

@@ioritenshi Gaming is usually meant to be shared with others, it's literally why games are what they are. I'm not going to sit here and praise Bungie for anything because I'm fully aware of how many mistakes they've made- both the devs and C-suite. But I enjoy the game, and I wouldn't be playing it if that wasn't the case. It sounds like you don't enjoy the game, and that's okay! There's no need to trivialize what other people enjoy.

[@fysy9989]

I think Into the Light was amazing because it filled a gap between the season and the expansion and it brought a mode that was requested for a long time. I am not sure how more packs like this will do, but I am open minded. Yet I hope that bungie management changes in the long term and that the devs have work security and the freedom to make the game as good as they can

[@tryingmybest9819]

But there would be no expansions in future. It would just be into the light.

[@marinawolf]

@@tryingmybest9819 For now. You people are so short-sighted.

[@tryingmybest9819]

@marinawolf How so? Bungie have said no more expansions. What's short sighted exactly?

[@lewk6329]

​@@tryingmybest9819im confused do you think "no expansions" means no updates? As far as im aware there will be no ANNUAL expansions but instead like 6 month long mini expansions which may i add im pretty sure they intend to be free. Yes bungie is in the shitter right now but not having annual expansions wont kill the game. If the content they release is bad ofc the game will die but 1 large expansion being converted into smaller expansions isnt gonna kill the game lmao

[@tryingmybest9819]

@lewk6329 I mean no expansions. I.e. no campaigns, no substantive stories and as little development as they can get away with (don't want to over deliver), but a massive increase in eververse and one can only assume, pay to win mechanics. Hope that clears it up for you.

[@colonelrakesh]

This one hits close to home. Keep up strong brother!

[@ShiftedVoxel212]

As someone who started late Witch Queen last year, your KZbin content definitely helped me on character building since I really never knew what exotics are good or not. Plus you and the Discord community got me to give Raids a try and its a pretty fun experience that sometimes lfgs cant bring to the table. Cheers and looking forward to future Destiny 2 content and yours!

[@FK74396]

I feel that man, after my family had finished a massive move cross country, and a goodbye gift from my uncle was base D1, and I’ve been hooked ever since then.

[@junkyjunkpwnshalo]

I've been a Bungie fan since 1997 playing Myth the Fallen Lords when I was 7. I hope they continue making games and this isnt the end of them. I'll play Destiny until they close the servers down just like I did with Halo 2. If I'm still having fun I'll still play.

[@middy5284]

there is none. bungie has made it clear they never want to do a destiny 3. final shape was it. sadly they think the reason playerbase has declined is because of lack of interest. instead, its the lack of a true sequel. d2 is almost 10 years old now. its time to move on.

[@schizotronic]

Damn... got a lil emotional when you described your first raid team. Had a very similar situation, where I got to do a King's Fall with some very kind and patient people... it's def why I fell in love with raiding.

[@Endless10ppp]

My first raid was VOG D1, first time played with a bunch of French guys. It went just like Mat lol. I remember because that day I put down my doggo! They were all cool and cheering me up! If I could say thanks to them I would!

Whatever your future is, I fully support it. You are an amazing guy and will be a great source of knowledge for any game or content you pursue.

[@jake_break]

hearing you talk about playing with your brother, brought back memories of me playing with my brother. made a lot of friends through this game and had lots of fun times. unfortunately, we don’t play much anymore but i’m glad to have made those memories. I think Destiny will be okay, but only time will tell. Thanks for all you do Mac. Helped me get back into the game after I left for a while.

[@CheeseMemies]

Before i started playing, i would watch my brother play. he’s the reason i play destiny today

[@TawhcoGames]

Hopefully you read these, my name is tawhco on destiny. I nevr watched KZbin videos for Destiny my entire time playing. I’ve been playing since D1 from the first day. You are the only channel I like and watch as soon as you post

[@Hithere-hb7tx]

hey Mac, I just wanted to say that I also enjoy Destiny a lot as well. I've taken many breaks from the game here and there but when i want to get back in I almost always look for your latest build videos and use the builds I find to help my friends also enjoy it. Even though I know they won't stick around the game for long I still help them trying to give them a bettter experience that'll hopefully keep them with Destiny for a while.I also appreciate you and your community especially when I win raffles in your stream and go through GMs with you guys. Your community is very welcoming and provides a great experience.

[@InsomniacSrategies]

First thing I said when they came out with Onslaught was that I’d be happy to keep playing installments of something like this horde mode. Give us additional settings like adjusting handicaps or stuff like that just for fun and that’s going to be such a draw for very little investment

[@Red_VelvetRevolver]

If you want to make build and guide videos like you’re Destiny 2 ones; I can’t recommend Warframe enough. The build crafting and quests are genuinely fun and enjoyable; and not once have I felt like I’ve been left out or felt stuck. The lore is well thought out and concise and makes the game play even better. The community is one of the best I have even been a part of; and are(for the most part, there are always the occasional “bad eggs”) helpful and welcoming and a big part of the story and game play making process with Digital Extremes. And the dev team is another reason why I keep coming back; because they care so much about the game AND the community; and are active participants in the community not just from a dev perspective. I’m genuinely excited and can’t wait for the next two big updates they’ve teased at TennoCon at the end of July. Especially the 1999 theme they have to the big update this winter. I can’t recommend giving Warframe a try enough. Oh, and it’s free to play. Like genuinely free to play; not just free to try. I’ll still be a part of the Destiny community, and your community by extension; but more from the sidelines than on the field.

[@radekr6267]

Hey man, your content is of course a huge reason why you became a huge asset to the community, but beyond that you feel like such a genuine and likable person that it’s difficult not to feel like we’d be friends. That I think what makes people feel so welcome and comfortable in following you. If you’re ever around the Northern Virginia area, I’d 10/10 buy you a beer. You got this no matter what path you take from here on out.

[@art2-d217]

Thank you, Mac. Your Assassin's Cowl build was the first guide that made a true impact and fundamentally put my Destiny journey on a whole new level so I am forever grateful. I appreciate your positivity and openness, and your attitude is what makes the Destiny community one of a kind and the only online game I play.

[@aaronarnold6444]

Glad to hear you’re sticking to it. Love your videos, they have made destiny fun to play. Destiny will always be my game. I may be taking a break from it right now, but it’s temporary as Destiny is like no other game I’ve tried and it’s simply fun (caveat with that is you need all the expansions for subclasses).

[@staysix]

Let’s go Mactics I love your hopefulness and positivity! You always find a way to motivate me to always be optimistic about the game and I’m so glad you’re sticking around!!!

[@sacksj]

I know you mentioned it but, Raid guides in the style of your current GM guides would be so appreciated. I've never done a GM nightfall prior to the guides and now I run it every week even without a guide. Your video guides really do open the door to content in D2 because they remove the veil of perceived difficulty.

[@johncook2504]

Mac, the time and dedication you’ve put into your career and D2 along with your personality and attitude will keep you going whether you main D2 or switch to variety or leave D2 entirely. You’re a gem in the community and I know you’ll be great no matter where the future takes ya 👍🏼

i love your content man, i agree, i think people are super inclined to look at this game with a negative lens/outlook. i am curious to see where it goes though, i am holding out hope personally, and am obviously very sad for the people who have lost their livelihood. but i think the future of the GAME could go either way right now

[@AbdulRahmanKhan-qy4nl]

mac is like the best streamer he was the one who made me even want to make a twitch account and watching his streams was like the most engaging thing i would do the whole day and he doesn't even ignore the smallest of questions in chat which made me come to his stream more like even if he had explained the thing 10 times he would still patiently give the answer to the question again which is the most defining quality i think mac has so what ever mac does in the future i will always love watching his youtube content and his streams and will always support him 🤗😁😁😁

[@seanhight6948]

I started playing games again in 2018, and Destiny 2 was one of the first ones I downloaded. Mainly because it was free, but also because my best friend passed the original so much. It was disappointing back then, especially playing alone. Just run as much as you could before your ammo was out, and log out. 3 years ago, my friends and I stopped playing CoD because we were unhappy with the state of the game, and they chose Destiny 2. I already had the game, but hadn't touched it in years. That revival has become basically an addiction. lol Even as a casual tryhard, I love the overall game, and some of the people that play it. I wouldn't trade it for the world. I'm as sad as anyone else to hear that we might being parting ways for good. Hope to see some of y'all starside before then.

[@MaxFlub]

Just look at d1 its still full of player's till this day im willing to bet even after d2 loses full support and updates it will last 1 to 3 years fully active at the very least Try warframe its got way more buildcrafting and id really appreciate some builds that arent meta that work amazing and theres tons of content to do buukds fo with all the game modes

[@westyw.4235]

It's no surprise to any of your followers the amount of support you get. You're one of the most genuine, kind, generous content creators. We all wish you the absolute best in whatever you choose to do. Thank you for all the superior content you have =)

[@Riphtix]

The articles also say they are moving away from "regular paid expansions" and the "annual release model" they never said there wont be any expansions in the future. They just wont be regularly released (same time of year every year) or annual. They could be going down the line that final fantasy and wow go down with like every two or three years as it finishes development. Rather than requiring it be released every year and then apologizing every time they have to delay it. I think we will learn more details about that down the line.

[@kirkredden3773]

If Destiny 2 made a free-to-try gateway (a content package of its own) then Bungie could use veteran players to sell the greater content. The gateway would include doable content like a pvp section, strikes, mini-dungeon or mini-raid, and a set-apart free-roam planet. The new player would then be matched with some veteran D2 players. Of course, veteran players would need some loot that they would gain for doing this. The key would be matching newcomers with veteran players. This could clear the confusion of expansions. I know they tried to tie it to (Oh geez if I want to play more I need to buy an expansion) but I feel it gives a "let down" feeling. Also, Bungie should package the expansions (bundle deals)! It would simplify package purchase decisions. My friend doesn't know which to pick, so a gateway format with veteran players would allow the veteran player to recommend one or all of the packages. My friend has accused me of working for Bungie, but they have purchased expansions. (We both might purchase that Lightfall dungeon key) lol. Finally, I love your builds. Thankfully you are making content like this or I would still be a burger, free-roaming and accomplishing nothing. The way you and this community put builds together is amazing and I love using them. I am working on getting better at building my own stuff. Builds are definitely an art. Thank you for all you do!

[@ilaril]

Wow, a content creator who isn't all doom and gloom. What a refreshing change. I used to love playing this with others, but since final shape I've mainly just done things on my own. Don't want to be the one dragging others down and/or feel like I'm being carried. Old age plus disability makes things harder than they should be. Maybe one day I'll find people to run the new coop missions together. Not holding my breath, but since it's needed to get the Final Shape title done, kinda want to.

[@SammiEmN2737]

Kings fall was my first raid clear as well! And seconded, on the patient fire team helping out. I started late in Destiny, around season 18/19. And the most patient folk ever coached me through the raid. I was early enough in the game that I didn’t even really know what “a build” was. Great community out there!

[@micdoors1425]

The video that got my “like, follow and subscribe” was your Omnioculus build. I am a Titan main, and hardly ever play the other classes, Hunter least. I just loved your delivery, it just felt… nurturing. A humble, supporting and patient voice that was about helping me understand and gain insight, without any shred of self importance or sensationalism. Your delivery comes across as respectful, and while I am conscious that you are one of the most skilled players in Destiny (Day One raid clears attest to that) it never feels like you speak from a place of superiority. That, coupled with your knowledge, makes you the best Destiny content creator in the Parthenon, but more importantly, a beautiful person that good people will always be drawn to.

[@brettsilverman9770]

I’m excited for you to make more Warframe content!

[@chrisbush7095]

Been playing since 2013! Not gonna stop now. We all stand with you.

[@BB77s]

Got to admit Mac, I agree with pretty much everything you've said. I played D1 from launch through to Forsaken when i just lost interest due to burn out. I returned to the game back in March because i just wanted to play a good FPS game. During my off time i had switched to a PC from PS. Even knowing a lot of the back story, I was almost put off by the huge difference in the D2 i left to what it was a few months ago. I caught up on the story on youtube and slowly got back into the mechanics of the game until i had to put together my fist build... and after a small search found your channel and really enjoyed messing about with the builds you showed. They're easy to follow, and described slowly and methodically enough that my ADHD brain can actually absorb the info. Also, In to the Light was the bit that really got me 100% hooked again, Onslaught was just super fun to play and that comes from someone who was mainly a solo player. TLDR: I enjoy your content, and yes i even watched some of your Day 1 Raid for TFS, I think there will always be a place for someone who respects the players enough to just give honest and easy to understand advice in any game. That said, lets hope there is more life in D2 yet, as I've just started my 2nd character and I want to try some of your Titan builds next 😁🤘

[@jonoc3295]

As long as the demand for your content remains you should keep making it. What I like about your presentation is that you do not exhibit a large ego. As well, you do not resort to self--deprecation for a laugh. Shows me you respect yourself and your subscribers. Keep up the good work as long as you are able. I think the next couple of years are going to be financially challenging for everyone. Bungie is just showing symptoms of this challenge. Worst case scenario, Sony Entertainment takes over Bungie. I intend to enjoy Destiny 2 for as long as I can.

[@MrWrighthw]

Thanks for your content. I do appreciate your guides. Best wishes for many many more! I'll keep playing destiny as long as I'm having fun. I don't listen to the doom and gloom, just do what you enjoy!

[@RealDisquisedHoplite]

[@Alex-yx8wb]

I came from gta and the community is what kept me coming back to destiny. There's toxicity in every game community but the Destiny players are vastly more positive and kind.

[@kukytim]

Keep doing what you like Mactics. My free time doesn't allowme tto play anything else but Destiny. Since I started playing Destiny (just before Taken King) I fell in love with it. I've been through all the goods and bads and I still love playing it. I start watching your channel around 2 years ago and it fits like a glove. Destiny will be okay and it will become better. We just need to have patience, II think. I joined your discord but I didn't jump in to play with you guys. That's my next goal. Stay the course.

[@oddkikisdragon1833]

The layoffs feel like a reverb of light falls failure, and after they saw into the lights success, they decided to change to that model after Final Shapes development was done. They started to see what ppl actually wanted, but the repercussions from light fall are still happening. We as an audience need to see that and understand this new models of content aren’t a response to the layoffs, we are just getting to know of them, cause the people they let go spill the sauce

[@martinlavare1938]

Mactics, the videos and the way you present them have been stellar! The content and builds are so fun. It's all good and I hope to continue to play it's been unreal over the years.

[@thedoctor323]

Bungie owes the players. they need to make a fully packed remaster 4 disc set or hard drive full of all campaign missions and seasonal missions/activities, able to play peer to peer multiplayer or offline instead of central server connection. That way we have access to the entire story forever.

[@pkbenzene]

As a newish (started at Witch Queen) player, I hope you still play some Destiny going forward. There is still so much for me to do in this game and your guides/builds have helped me achieve triumphs more than any other content creator. I hope to one day be available and confident enough to play with you but will continue to binge your content regardless. The most helpful Destiny streamer, Mactics the Moustache!!

[@G1224Alex]

Correct me if I’m wrong, if the studio was so split up and working on different projects at once, them saying they are focusing their 850 employees on D2 and Marathon might actually be okay news for the consumers. I believe they will still make solid content and continue to be a staple in many destiny gamer’s rotation.

I cant catch streams due to family and work but ill always support when i can. You’re genuine too. That makes all of the difference. I hope to see you at GCX.

[@ItsJeff_]

I really like this take, man. I felt the same way when I read they wanted to do more like Into The Light cause that’s actually what brought fun back into the game for me after a long break. Thanks for making a real video and not just being doom and gloom. A lot of people took these lay offs personally when in reality it’s a business. Someone decided what they’re doing isn’t working from a financial and player retention standpoint so now it’s time to change it up.

[@harleyadams837]

[@darkelf921]

Thank you Mac. I love this game and have the same optimism. It is nice to see a streamer talk positively about the game I love. Yes some horrible things have happened but hopefully we get through it.

[@xBenge]

Been awesome catching you on twitch a few years back. With a few dozen viewers to now having a hundreds of viewers and hundreds of thousands subscribers on your KZbin channel. Your content is on point, but I think a lot of people are here for you my friend! You’re just so damn genuine.

[@random75491]

Your builds are top notch. Your channel is the one I go to any time I'm looking for a build. Your omni hunter build is the only reason I use something other than my warlock. I break it out every GM season and it saves my team time and time again. So thank you for that and I definitely appreciate the optimism in times like these.

[@JayMatthews]

Started playing Destiny since the alpha in 2014, I was mostly a solo player in the full game until a freind (who sadly passed away in January) Got me into raiding. Had some good times raiding with people from around the world. Met some good people raiding even keep intouch outside of Destiny. Will still be playing for a long time yet. Always come to your videos to see what builds you're testing out and giving them a go myself.

[@zaqsarazan3585]

Love to hear that you're sticking with it. I've been in Destiny since the D1 Alpha. Right when I started to drop off a couple years ago, I discovered your channel and build videos and it completely reignited my passion for the game and I've been at it ever since. I hope you're right and that we keep getting good quality content. That said, if doomsday does come, I think you'd do great creating build videos for other games. Destiny is a beast and something will fill the empty space if it comes to that. I will say that I'll honestly mourn the loss of Destiny if it goes that way and I'll be desperately looking for a replacement. Maybe you can help people like me find that happiness when the time comes. Keep on truckin'

Dude I've been playing video games 40 plus year's. Love them. Destiny is one of the greatest. I started watching streams and stumbled on you're video's. Love watching them. Very well explained and creative. You remind me of a kid I grew up with, he was very creative (artist drawing) very articulate like you. He lost his life at 16. I'm 55 and I think about my friend a lot. Stumbled upon your vid and you reminded me of him a lot, just reminds me of being a kid. Thanks. Hope it doesn't seem weird.

[@charlesbonilla7483]

I just want to say that your guides have really help me become a better player and I really enjoy the gameplay you stream!

[@JR-17]

Raids and dungeons are the best thing the game has to offer. We don’t need big DLCs, we need multiple teams making raids and dungeons, and for the game to swap to a subscription model. I personally only play for raids and see all the other stuff as a waste of development time.

The way you build guide is fantastic. You explain stuff so well and the why behind it not just the what. I would love someone doing Diablo guides the way you do Destiny guides. Best wishes and I hope everything works out well for you sir!

[@zidarose]

Love the content. Always great getting this kind of transparency with you being clear on your plans.

[@StunSeedGaming]

Love the video, very similar to my experience first time getting in to the game! Just gotta say tho "I was amazed by how much time they set aside for me in Kings Fall"....Brother your first clear was in 42 mins! :P

Started playing D2 since release and it was so fun to play especially with my friends. Today I am the only remaining player on my clan that is active and it's kinda boring and SAD that all of my friends stop playing this game. It is so Lonely playing destiny right now 😢

[@pilgrimgirl3182]

So glad to hear you’ll be staying with Destiny. You’re my favorite content creator and your build videos have helped me so much. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to this community.🌻✌️

[@ItsGBZ]

As much as Destiny is my main gain...I'm here because you're you. You're a killer creator!

[@lizzyonepsc9855]

As a mother of an asd kid, it warms my soul to no end to hear your story! I’m so happy for you and your success 🎉

[@wrathovtyr5579]

I started D1 Beta. No other game is the same to me. No game as unique and fulfilling. Sure, I will play other games, or go back to games like Fallout or Skyrim that also hold a place for me. But, not like this. No other game out there fills the void Destiny leaves. Even as Toxic as the community can be, it's way more not that. It's much more meaningful and nice, chill, etc than the outliers that people tend to focus on. We all face this together and I think that you have solidified your self as someone that can transcend any game.People gravitate to YOU more than the game. Just keep doing you, we will be here.

Mactics, we're with you all the way. Conqueror 11 veteran here - your no-nonsense GM & build guides are my gotos, like the exec. summary I review every week.

[@Feendogg]

Excellent content, great guidance, insanely entertaining and so supportive and engaging with everyone. Why wouldn't we love you. You literally make us another community inside of a community. Thank You so much you do, have done and will do in the future. You taught me I was playing destiny all wrong. It was a game I struggled at and now I can help others. Thank You so very much. The little bit of support I gave cannot repay what you have done for my entertainment hours. Thank you my brother

Hey Mac, long time viewer here, just wanted to say i have loved your content over the years and i have recently moved most of my gaming time to Diablo 4, the first thing i noticed is that there is not someone like you in the Diablo 4 community that sits you down and explains to you every aspect of the build like you do in Destiny 2. i think it would great for you to dip your toes into that content, and as a bonus have you carry your community to end game content like mythic farming for end game builds. keep up the great work see you in your next video.

[@cameronstarrett8051]

the opening made me cry, point blank. in a way, you’re like that older brother to a lot of us. thank you ❤

[@MisterNutty]

I was one of the 220 laid off. Your optimism is the outlook I wish more players would have for Destiny. I was hyped helping Destiny get where it's going and that didn't change with my employment status. I'm frustrated with leadership that led Bungie here, but I do like where Destiny is at and where it is headed.

[@Akranadas]

It's your constant positivity that brings me back or your content here. As for what to do for the future, a build crafting guide, such as discussing the tools, the exotics and what to look for to get into build crafting would be nice.

[@UTCKREW44]

I thought they said they wouldn’t make Destiny 3, they said that they will expand on Destiny 2. Hopefully they will just drop the number and just call it Destiny and do yearly releases. And. We get to keep all our stuff.

[@SccyGaming]

The start of this video really resonates with me.

[@frosty8712]

King's Fall was also my first raid! I'd say that's what I got hooked on

[@mixtapelive]

Most of the employees let go were NOT working on Destiny. The news about no major expansions sounds bad for now but I believe they just need some time to figure some shit out internally before getting back on track

[@alcozar5905]

Oh, I also completed a survey on Bungie noting that company needed new leadership.

[@markpengell23]

Thanks for all the help with guides over the years, you’re an example of what’s truly good and positive about the destiny community. This latest trauma to the destiny community is still fresh. Il be very surprised that either the existing staff at bungie or Sony come up with big plans for its future at some point. Rally to the call for the games future and let the good people who play it come together to help secure that.

[@stuman4133]

I was having this exact conversation with my godson last night. I wasn’t real serious about this game until he started playing. We’ve done so much together and our relationship has gotten stronger. He lives 1800 miles away from me but when we’re playing it’s like we’re in the same room. I’m more realistic about the future of this game. I think Bungie is gonna fold in a couple of years. I also think it is Sony who’s driving this downfall like they’ve done so many other games.

[@samvimes9510]

14:53 and that right there is one of Destiny's biggest problems. I saw a comment on another vid saying that Bungie wastes an extraordinary amount of resources on Raids. Yes, the raids are cool, but we have the metrics on how many people run raids, and it's only around 11% of the community. It doesn't make sense to pump so much time and energy into content that most of the playerbase won't ever see. Those resources would be better spent on more strikes, more PVP maps, more content like Onslaught, etc. You know, stuff that everyone can jump into.

[@kshadyij]

Mactics, keep doing d2, but also start doing other games, its your personality and desire to teach that makes your videos fun aand entertaining and useful - that ability wil do you well in any game, so even if d2 does end, which it will end some day, today or 5 years later - like all things do end - youre always placed to make good content.

[@andrewyachovitz6749]

I don’t personally play destiny anymore, so id love to see u play some different games on the channel, i feel Elden ring could be nice, Warframe, but it’s your channel, and I’ll continue to watch cuz I just like watchin ya man 💯🤙

[@JCLOOTLADY]

You are inspiring and so positive, in particular to the young gamers. Keep it up.
