They had BUCKETS of funding from wizards of the Coast for this. They also had a massive studio with more than 400 people working on it.

They had the IP; they did not receive a single cent from WotC. They funded the game with money from their previous games, and in fact, they paid WotC for the IP.

They’re not. Most of the videos and articles I’ve read specifically mention Elden Ring and TotK as other examples.

I’m in agreement with you, however I’m going to also add that the creep to a “pay-to-win” game has pretty much been crossed. Not to forget that Bungie decided to drip feed expansion content laced throughout seasonal content this year…that has not been received well.

Destiny players are a salty bunch, but there I have to say the current level of furor towards Bungie is pretty legitimate right now. They do overreact; I just feel that this in this current state of the game there is justification behind it.

Regardless, “I hate Destiny; I play every day.”

Nothing ever replaced Google+, which was really popular in my own tech circle.

Except Slack and LinkedIn already kind of fed that niche.

Regardless…the article is pretty much spot on. It’s fairly obvious that social networks are going to come and go; we’ve seen that over the past few decades. Every iteration of social media will revolve around the tech of the hour. I like ActivityPub and Federation because it brings additional options to the user base. It’s an exciting shift.
