Reworking Marathon and restoring “vaulted” content to Destiny are the highlights.

    Without a crystal ball, I can put about 99% confidence in a future where Bungie continues to charge for microtransactions like they always have, and they won’t take a route like No Man’s Sky of being a single purchase. With a crystal ball, I could give you 100% confidence.

      That’s a really high confidence value to have for a future where Bungie exists. They’re already halfway purged, you don’t come back from something like Marathon by trying really hard with half the resources you wasted on Marathon.

        I think the servers will be kept on for Destiny as long as it’s cashflow positive. In a world where you’re not building new content for that game, it could be a long time, and it may outlive Bungie.

      The repeated emphasis on storytelling and building trust through actions gives me a tiny bit of hope, especially as it’s a new management team. Hopefully everyone on the old management team was taken back behind the shed. The fact that they couldn’t see how vaulting half the game was shooting themselves in the dick then continued to shoot themselves in the dick is astounding to me.
