"A lot of money didn’t go into Destiny": Ex-Bungie dev blames leadership "greed," not Marathon, for funding issues as Destiny 2's final update approaches

Destiny 2.

One of the longest-running live-service titles in the gaming industry has been Destiny 2, Bungie's 2017 sequel to the original space fantasy looter shooter that's received expansions and content updates across Xbox, PC, and PlayStation for nearly a decade. Now, though, Destiny 2 is coming to an end after a series of disappointing releases, delays, and decisions about its overall direction.

One final content update, Monument of Triumph, is scheduled to release on June 9; when it does, active Destiny 2 development will cease, with Bungie and publisher PlayStation (Sony) keeping the servers on but ultimately moving on from the project. Players fear this could be the end of Destiny as a franchise, and have rallied to surge a Destiny 2 petition while vowing to flood the servers next week.
