It Seems ‘Destiny 2’ And ‘Marathon’ Cannot Properly Co-Exist At Bungie (www.forbes.com)

Destiny should die. The story has no where left to go and there literally no plan on how to fix PvP so it doesn’t suck.

Marathon is not great, but it has room to grow. I don’t know why the article thinks it’s a smarter idea for Bungie to “pause D2” and spend years thinking up, funding and implementing a currently nonexistent “Destiny 3”. Instead of just addressing user feedback in Marathon.

Then again, this is Forbes. These guys are a cancer on the creative industries. The basic strategy is to keep milking IP and never create anything new(ish). (I know i know. Marathon is existing IP. Sigh. Will we ever get anything new?)

Paul hates Marathon because its existence is killing Destiny. I love Marathon, but killing your cash cowin order to gamble on a niche game format is just a dumb thing to do. They should have made a D3 instead.
