minus-squareFreeBooteR69@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·19 days agoEasy, keep your money and buy games from devs who don’t suck.
minus-squarejordanlund@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·18 days agoWhen Destiny 2 came out in 2017, the conventional wisdom was that Bungie did not suck. Destiny 1 came out in 2014 and is still fully playable. It wasn’t until 2020 that Bungie decided to start screwing everyone over with D2. Ironically, 1 year after ending their partnership with Activision. Of all the various problems Destiny had, it looks like Bungie was the source and not big, bad Activision.
