About this episode
The episode reflects on the end of updates for Destiny 2 and the shared feelings of loss within the gaming community.
Goodbye. Again. I was contemplating doing a post during the week break we took. When the Destiny news broke, I’d thought to say some words about it given we’d be another week before we could talk about it. Never did get around to it so consider this THAT post. It’s been a few years since I last played Destiny 2. After the ban there was no way for me to do so without starting completely over and I had no intention to walk that road again. Regardless, I was still absolutely stunned to hear that Bungie would cease updating Destiny 2 any further. It suddenly felt a bit like it did when I realized I’d never play the game again. And then I started reading forums and Reddit posts. They read like eulogies. And suddenly everyone else was feeling what I’d felt a few years ago. I mean, they still had the game to play but they wrote as though the plug was pulled. I get that this means the end of the game. We won’t get new expansions, DLC, news coverage…and without content to fuel the conversations, that’ll eventually go away as well. The ban never made me angry with the game or the players or the memories I had of it. Might have been a tad peeved with the customer service aspect but…
