Realistically, nobody should ever read a YouTube stream chat. That's especially true during shows like today's PlayStation State of Play live showcase, as these events are notorious for cultivating nonsense and memes in the chat. But I have to admit, right from the pre-show – give me that sweet, Sony-stamped, electronic music – today's State of Play chat did carry a pretty loud and consistent message: "We want Destiny 3." Not even Wolverine's extraordinarily hairy shoulders could distract Guardians in the chat.
This State of Play arrived one week ahead of June 9, which will see the final update for Destiny 2. Bungie abruptly announced the end of the game, and of active development, in May following well over a year of decline after the game's Final Shape expansion. Players have been in mourning ever since. But as they tumble down the stages of grief, fans have also clung to hopes that Bungie can turn it around, and they've aimed their fire hoses at Sony.
