The longtime CEO, who allegedly spent $2.4 million on classic cars as hundreds of Bungie employees were laid off, will be replaced by Justin "overdelivery" Truman.

Justin Truman to take the role.

      His replacement’s not much better. Lots of mixed sentiment from past employees, and even though he did acknowledge it with a joke, the “overdelivery” thing is such a red flag to carry.

      I quit the game this past fall after literally 12k hours on steam. Huge number of growing reasons, but the top reason has always been the way bungie c-suite treats their devs and their players. One of the most toxic in the industry by a mile.

    Might be bitter but I lost interest when I bought Destiny years ago and the main campaign just…stopped. To be continued only when buying DLC. Never spent a penny on them since as I believe a game you buy should be the entire thing end to end with additional content available to purchase. I wanted a main storyline with conclusion.

      I lost interest when I first tried Destiny 2 years after it was 1st released and realized they didn’t seem interested in new players.

      Too many storylines merging and diverging before you have any idea whats happening.

      It was like reading a book (and it’s series) out of order.

    Good, the game needs some fresh leadership. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that on the same day they announced this, Bungie also announced that all previous season passes will soon return to a kiosk in-game and you can finish them at any time (yes like the Helldivers model). Plus, players who never got the pass before will be able to buy them for a pretty reasonable price (around $6 USD I believe).

      Does this mean that sunsetted content can be played again (ie the original campaign)? If so I would mayhe consider getting back into it. Otherwise I still have no interest in returning

        No, I think Forsaken (Dreaming City) is the oldest content still in the game. If you want to see the old campaign I’m sure there are playthroughs on YouTube you could watch.

          Considering I payed to play those campaigns, not watch them on YouTube, I’ll just save my time. Warframe has scratched the Destiny itch for me in recent years while also respecting me as a customer

    I didn’t know destiny 2 was still going. I played it for like a year after release before getting tired of it but it was fun enough. The only game I’ve played since then was elden ring so I’m not real up on the times
