Pour one out for our long-suffering Guardians, because Destiny 2 is officially dead. Or at least, that's how it feels; with "active development" ending in June for the nine year-old shooter, we won't be jetting off on any new adventures. And honestly, I'm gutted that it's going out like this. As someone who's been there since day one and has watched the game slowly yet steadily fall apart, it's heartbreaking to watch.
My Guardian – a dapper-looking Exo Warlock that I've used from day one – took their first steps back in 2014 with OG Destiny. I was there for the pre-release beta. I was there for the infamous 'Loot Cave.' I was there for the short-lived Dinklebot, before Nolan North took over from Peter Dinklage as our Ghost companion. With Marathon becoming the only active game developer Bungie has on the docket, and no Destiny 3 on the horizon, I have a horrible feeling I'll soon be saying goodbye to a character I've used for well over a decade.
