As fans sift through the ashes following Bungie's announcement that Destiny 2 is ending active development, former Bungie writer Robert Brookes summarizes a sentiment percolating in the game's community: "It turns out the real Destiny killer was Pete Parsons."
Brookes was laid off from Bungie in July 2024 – one of hundreds of employees impacted as the studio made multiple deep cuts. Previously, he wrote at the time, he'd been "delivering seasonal story from Hunt all the way to Deep and sending home the most well-received expansion in our history in Final Shape."
