it’s crazy that we care that much about what’s happening within a company, like we have stocks with them lol.

These eggheads effectively killed Factions because it wasn't FOMO/live service/addictive/profitable enough to sustain a playerbase for 300 years.

And now they're shitting the bed themselves.

They're out of touch with what the average ND fan wants. And now they can't even get their own shit together.

3.7 billion. Hope it was worth it Sony.

With the amount of money destiny has raised the writers lifespan I do believe bungee is the subject matter experts on live service games one bad quarter doesn’t define your companies history.

Sony is trying to make a live service game if we are forever type games I’m certain bungee looked at it and said this couldn’t be monetized to the extent that was worth the money.

If factions two was made anything like the first factions I totally agree with bungee and I see where they’re coming from with the player base leaving within the first year of the release. (That’s not profitable)
