Bungie\u2019s path forward \u201cstatement\u201d leaves fans furious BungieBungie\u2019s first statement since the massive layoffs hasn\u2019t gone well, with fans furious over the message\u2019s lack of content. After ten long years of community building, the Destiny fanbase was devastated when developer Bungie was torn to shreds in a mass wave of layoffs. It only worsened from there, as the layoffs seemingly led to delays to The Final Shape expansion and Marathon. Aside from a \u201ctone deaf\u201d statement from CEO Pete Parsons, the studio has remained incredibly silent. That turned out to be the worst path to walk, as devastating information was released, demolishing the remaining faith the community had. Bungie has finally issued a statement, and unfortunately, it\u2019s not even close to what fans hoped it would be. Bungie briefly speaks on Destiny 2\u2019s future In a statement shared to the Destiny2Team Twitter\/X account, Bungie\u2019s developer team issued \u201cOur Path Forward.\u201d The opener of the statement addressed the layoffs. \u201cThis has been one of the most difficult weeks in our studio\u2019s history, as we\u2019ve parted ways with people we respect and admire. We\u2019ve spent this week supporting one another, including those who are at the studio, as well as friends and colleagues who no longer are.\u201d Bungie then switched gears to address The Final Shape: \u201cWe need to make The Final Shape an unforgettable Destiny experience.\u201d As the developers hammered home the desire to deliver the best experience possible, fans hammered home the message reached no one. Well-known creator GernaderJake perfectly summarized the fan outcry: \u201cThis was short enough to be a tweet. Why even make the article.\u201d Another fan shared how they interpreted the message, and it wasn\u2019t pretty, as it almost came off as an ad. \u201cSorry we messed up! Final shape will be great tho don\u2019t forget to preorder! \u201c \u2014 Anime (@Animetiddyy) November 2, 2023 This message coming from Bungie\u2019s developers left many in shock, as this is a message that management themselves should\u2019ve issued. However, given the CEO\u2019s prior statement, a letter from management might not have been ideal either. Time will tell how Bungie handles Destiny 2 moving forward, but the studio faces an otherworldly task. Per the developers, expect updates to come, with one coming from the Crucible Strike team soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
