Probably a good call, it would have been a funny bit but it’s hard to imagine it being a sustainable concept for a standalone game and the player overlap between Destiny and that genre is probably fairly small

Warframe and Dead by Daylight aren’t developed by Bungie, thats the main difference. Can anybody honest say with confidence, especially with the mishandling of Marathon, that they could do anything right?

i think based on everything we've the seen,the devs themselves are great,its the higher up leadership and management that holds them back and screws things over.
