    1. Is going to be F2P
    2. It will have a steep rise in players
    3. A month it will drop to <10K
    4. Bungie closes

    All of this because Sony couldn't move from Marathon to #Destiny3.

    #Destiny3 is was not been greenlight by #Sony, but also there is no meaningul rework in sight for #Marathon to bring more than 10K players a month.

  9. New Details Emerge About Bungie’s Decision To End Destiny 2, Including Plans To Relaunch As Destiny Infinity

    We’re over a week now since Bungie announced it was finally ending support for Destiny 2, and details continue to trickle out about what occured behind the scenes. Now, we have a more to discuss, including when the cracks began to show, and how the ongoing petition likely won’t have any effect.

    Advertisements

    Paul Tassi of Forbes has published a new article that brings to light a few more details.

    Let’s kick off with the bad: once again, Paul confirms that Destiny 3 was at least considered but isn’t happening, and there’s very little chance of it entering development unless things radically change.

    “My sources have no belief it is coming at the moment”, Tassi said of Destiny 3.

    “Unfortunately, neither the petition nor the planned login surge on the 9th has any chance of reversing the recent decision or greenlighting Destiny 3, as well-intentioned as they may be.”

    Tassi is speaking of a fan-led petition to get Destiny 3 made, which as of now is at just over a quarter-million signatures. There was hope that if enough people could sign, perhaps Sony would consider giving the go ahead.

    He mentions that he spoke to several people in the industry and reckons that Jason Schreier’s estimate of Destiny 3 costing around $500m to make is probably about right. That’s far too rich for Sony’s blood right now, especially in a world where live-service games are collapsing.

    So, when did Destiny 2 begin to show signs of failure? Based on what Tassi was told, discussions about where to take Destiny 2 began when Edge of Fate underperformed. The discussions grew more serious when Renegades did even worse.

    However, the decision to kill Destiny 2 outright was not made until earlier this year, confirming earlier reporting.

    Apparently, there was talks of shifting Destiny 2 back from the 2 expansion model back to one big expansion concept and renaming the whole thing Destiny Infinity. Obviously, that didn’t happen, again due to the cost.

    With nothing in the works, Bungie is reliant on Marathon performing. Tassi notes that he couldn’t find anything about what exactly Sony and Bungie would consider a “win” for Marathon, but was told that the console audience ““really do not care for this thing,” and that isn’t expected to change.

  10. What's most tragic, but foreseen, are the content creators who banked on #Bungie games.

    I wonder how many streamers are going to survive once #Destiny2 and #Marathon shut down. And no #Destiny3 in sight.

    I know that going for specific games is a time bomb because eventually the game will cease to exist or the audience will get bored of the same.

    🎙️ youtu.be/S99BaJUqVL8

    On Tower Casuals, Josh Finney and I discuss the shocking news of Bungie ending active development on Destiny 2 with no active development on future Destiny projects, Marathon becoming its primary focus, and mass layoffs expected at the studio.

  13. Another Report States Bungie Has Nothing Else In Development, But Marathon Will Be Allowed To “Find Its Legs”

    A new report from Forbes backs up what we heard previously from Jason Schreier while adding a few more details to the situation at Bungie: Destiny 3 is not in development, nothing else has been greenlit, and layoffs are reportedly planned, although not immediately imminent.

    Paul Tassi of Forbes published a new report discussing the current situation at Sony-owned Bungie, which recently announced that support for Destiny 2 is ending as the studio shifts its full focus toward Marathon.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KF24WS4MMC0

    According to Tassi, the vast majority of Bungie employees were unaware that Destiny 2 support was being ended. The decision was reportedly made earlier this year, and some employees had allegedly “begged” leadership to tell staff sooner.

    As is often the case with major internal restructuring, developers reportedly continued working on Destiny 2 content until the public announcement was made.

    Shortly after Bungie’s announcement, Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier claimed that Bungie currently has no other projects in development and that layoffs were being planned.

    Tassi’s reporting appears to support that claim. According to him, layoffs are expected, but are not immediately around the corner. “They are significant, but not immediately imminent,” Tassi wrote, adding that questions about layoffs during a company town hall were reportedly dodged by leadership.

    Tassi also reinforced Schreier’s earlier reporting that Bungie currently has nothing else in active development beyond Marathon. According to Tassi, “Destiny 3 is neither in production nor greenlit,” and no other projects have reportedly been approved either. While there were apparently internal pitches for projects using the Destiny IP, none were given the go-ahead.

    He also elaborated on Schreier’s earlier claim that Destiny 3 was viewed as too expensive to pursue, writing that “Sony has been wary of committing to such an expensive undertaking in a market that is in flux and more challenging than ever.”

    That hasn’t stopped fans from launching a Change.org petition in an attempt to persuade Sony to allow Bungie to begin development on Destiny 3.

    With nothing else reportedly in the pipeline, Bungie now appears heavily reliant on Marathon’s success. According to Tassi, Sony is committing additional resources to the game and intends to give it time to establish itself.

    “New PvP/PvE modes are meant to expand the playerbase, and larger teams are meant to put out more content now,” Tassi said.

    Tassi also noted that “The fate of Bungie will come down to how much Sony wants to continue to invest in the studio (which it does still value at close to a $3 billion asset) in terms of time or money, and how small they think it needs to be to be sustainable going forward.”

    Nothing in Tassi’s report is entirely new, but it does reinforce what we’ve already been hearing while adding a little more detail, including confirming what many suspected: Sony appears unwilling to fund Destiny 3’s development. It puts Bungie in an awkward position because Destiny 3 would have been the most obvious next choice, and potentially the studio’s biggest future money-earner.

    The other worrying detail is Tassi’s suggestion that Bungie’s future may depend on how small Sony believes the studio needs to become in order to remain sustainable. Right now, Bungie is reportedly sitting at around 800 employees.

  14. Fans Are Petitioning Sony To Greenlight Destiny 3

    It has been a hectic week for Bungie. Not only did they announce that they are ending active development on Destiny 2, but it was also reported that the team isn’t working on Destiny 3. Unsurprisingly, fans are upset and are trying to persuade Sony to greenlight the game.

    According to journalist Jason Schreier, the reason Bungie didn’t immediately start working on Destiny 3 right after the launch of The Final Shape for Destiny 2 – and presumably the reason they still aren’t working on right now – comed down to the project just being too expensive.

    And so fans have taken to change.org to create a petition in the hopes of getting Sony to cough up the cash to get Destiny 3 into active development.

    At the time of writing, the petition is sitting at just over 137k signatures.

    “The Destiny franchise has captivated millions of gamers around the world with its immersive universe, thrilling gameplay, and strong sense of community,” says the petition. “However, with the end of updates for Destiny 2, it’s time to take the next step and keep this beloved series thriving. That step is the development of Destiny 3.”

    Bungie just recently released Marathon, another live-service multiplayer shooter which seems to be struggling in terms of players, but Bungie have commited to sticking with it and believe that it can gradually build a bigger and bigger audience.

    “I have played destiny since the alpha in 2014, I have been here for every expansion, usually buying the most expensive version so I could get all the content once it came out,” said Collin of Salt Lake City in the petition commens. “This franchise has helped me make friends that I never would have met, and got me through really tough times in my life. I dont want this world to end with Destiny 2 there’s so many more stories and memories to be made if Bungie is given the time, resources, and right leadership to make a Destiny 3.”

    Unfortunately, Jason Schreier’s reporting says Bungie is expecting a wave of layoffs, the scope of which is unknown. And recently, Sony put a second impairment against Bungie, indicating that they believe they overpaid for Bungie by a total of around $765 million.

    Basically, it seems like Bungie isn’t in a great position right now. Indeed, reports over the years have hinted toward leaderships and management problems within the studio.

    But I agree with the petition. Destiny 3 is likely Bungie’s best change to survive, which is why it’s horrible they find themselves in a weird place where they can’t make their biggest, most obvious money-earner because of…well, money.

    Schreier’s reporting states that the studio currently has no other project greenlit, either, so even if they decided on something right this moment, given the length of typical triple-A game development we won’t see anything new from Bungie until after 2030.

    That’s a lot of pressure on Marathon to perform.

  21. Sorry, but #Marathon is a failure.

    Sony has the ball in their court now. Players didn't resonate with the game, at all.

    My expectation? #Bungie will transform the game into a F2P, upsell cosmetics, and it that does not work, they'll try P2W and abandon it while they move forward with #Destiny3.

    If Destiny 3 isn't a colossal success, Bungie will be either sold or closed.

  23. @chris I believe they invested too much on the name and forgot how niche the game is.

    If they would invested $50M and built from there, I assure you they would have more than 25K players.

    Anyway, I wonder how #Destiny3 is going to shape out, given the tarnished reputation of Bungie as of late. It's a husk of a studio to me.

    I expect #Sony announcing #Destiny3 this year, while winding down #Bungie output for this extraction shooter.

    That was a good waste of $200M. They could have fixed #Destiny2 with that money.

  27. Yeah, I don't think #Marathon is going to survive.

    The game bleeds 5K gamers each week, currently 30K average.

    It sold 1.2M copies, but for the development cost, I don't think #Bungie will stay past the first expansion, unless they can pull out a Realm Reborn (they won't).

    It's obvious that Sony will push #Destiny3 into the studio given this failure.

  29. Well, the guys at #InsideGames took a page of the #Marathon 1.2M copies article.

    Is it really a flop?

    youtube.com/watch?v=qFbxC2C7h9g

    On average, each copy returns $30 to Sony. If the rumored $250M investment is true, they require over 8M copies to sell to "break even", without microtransactions.

    We will see what happens in the coming months if #Sony doubles down, or goes full ahead to #Destiny3.

  31. Afater a massive marketing campaign, and two weekends, #Marathon numbers look grim.

    Their real numbers will be set once #CrimsonDesert releases, making the game:

    a) Pay the debt: Ocassional updates, aggresive monetization.
    b) Cut the losses: Server shut down in June, layoffs.

    In both cases, #Sony will pivot #Bungie to #Destiny3. To me, it will be their "do or die".

    Jokes aside, I consider 80k "healthy", but we're talking about a free weekend and 50% retention. You want grow, no abandonment.

    I highly doubt #Marathon will sell 80k copies. For the amount Sony invested in this game, expect this game to die and rapidly pivot #Bungie to #Destiny3.

    #CrimsonDesert releases after 2 weeks and will kill Marathon.

  35. Bungie is rumored to be in the extremely early stages of developing Destiny 3, aiming for a major PS6 launch.

    With Destiny 2 struggling, this sequel could reboot the franchise—but don’t expect it before 2030. #Destiny3 #PS6

  36. Ok @destinythegame let's get real because you are far beyond the realm where it is necessary to get real:

    -- Shut down Marathon
    -- Play it off as an out-of-season April Fools prank if you need
    -- Because you need
    -- Move all of those and all Destiny 2 employees onto a project code named Destiny 3
    -- Brush up on and actually internalize all the lessons people have learned from the wild and ongoing success of #Warframe, a sibling and far more successful game that does *not* hate its players and literally has a yearly in-person conference because **people are so fucking happy to play Warframe**
    -- Build #Destiny3 with those lessons in mind
    -- Release a fresh, albeit criminally late sequel to Destiny 2 that is built with love and hope in mind
    -- Reveal the project name is **drum roll please** #Destiny3
    -- Have a decent chance at saving what crumbs might remain of #Bungie's reputation

    #Destiny2

  37. #Destiny2 conspiracy theory: #Marathon is an elaborate psyop to warm up Destiny players to the idea of losing all their gear because #Destiny3 is actually coming this time and our vaults are gonna blow up again
