I always know when gaming news has truly broken containment when I see the BBC UK website reporting on it, and the pending closure of Destiny 2 has been deemed high enough on the public interest barometer to get a whirlwind of coverage.
Bungie's announcement that active live-service development is ending with the June 9 Monument of Triumph update has sent shockwaves through the gaming industry. While they aren't pulling the plug entirely (servers will remain online in a static state) the community refuses to let a decade of memories get put on life support.
While fans mourn Bungie's tough decision, resistance is also forming, with a coordinated effort on two fronts. An online petition for Destiny 3 development to start immediately, as well as a call to action for all past and present Guardians to log in on June 9 in solidarity and support.
