I just want to say thank you all. See before the release of forsaken, my family was falling apart. My parents were fighting and it was to the point that they were trying to get a divorce. They had moved into separate homes and didn't speak to each other whatsoever. However, all that changed when destiny 2 came into the picture. It started when I was visiting my mom and my boyfriend and I were playing destiny. My boyfriend had to go to work so he left his system there. My mom decided she wanted to know why we loved destiny so much. Well she hops on and she's running around mars. Now let me add. She has no idea what the controls are what so ever so it was highly amusing to watch psions launch her and her confusion on how to fight back. Well skip about a week or so ahead. She's buying herself a ps4 and Destiny 2 with forsaken preorder. So that was awesome. Well I started talking to my dad about how mom had gotten the game and was having fun. A couple days later my dad calls and asks if I can come help him with something. I get there and he is setting up a ps4. He's got Destiny and he was wanting me to help him create a character and to show him how to join a Fireteam. I get him all set up and I head home to play. My mom joins me and so does my dad. Now I was worried about how this would play out, but my mom was just so excited to have the chance to teach someone how to play. She dove right into showing him the controls.
Now here we are. Well over a year later, and every day since... I get on Destiny and I see one fireteam. ReddyorNot and PATHFINDER12-18. Awoken hunter and awoken Titan. Every single day. They are in crucible, doing strikes, or even just doing patrols. Every single day They are talking. They are communicating. The best part of it? They're still married. They now live under the same roof once more. All because of this beautiful game you created Bungie.
You saved my family. So thank you. Thank you so very much.
A little info on my mom. Her favorite weapon is the Telesto. Her favorite ship is the new Vex one from the season pass. Her favorite dance is the Beguiling dance. Her favorite sparrow is the one that has the wings from season of the drifter.(i can't remember the name for the life of me)
A little info on my dad. His favorite exotic chest piece is the solar titan one with the fire on the stomach(in a hunter main I don't know titan exotics like that 😂) his favorite ship seems to be the unsecured outcry. His favorite sparrow is the Burnout(one he has yet to actually get sadly) he says it reminds him of Ghost rider. His favorite dance is the Dancehall.
Their least favorite place is the dreaming city. They agree it is beautiful beyond belief, but man. They HATE the scorn. Lol
Bungie. You have created beautiful memories for a family who was once falling apart and I just hope you can see this and know you are appreciated. No matter how much people out you down and dislike the way you handle things. Just know there are the few out there who are in love with Every aspect of the story you are trying to tell. Thank you so much.

I'm glad that our game could bring your family closer together <3 Thanks for sharing your story!

Same here, destiny 2 saved my family as well. When a burglar broke into our home back in 2017 our family was terrified.But with some quick thinking Nanna grabbed the destiny 2 case with the game still inside and chunked it at the perpetrator.The well placed throw from the rectangular jewel case thwarted the would be assailant dead in his tracks and knocked him unconscious until the police arrived. Someone had even kickstarted a fund to help our family with repairs and to replace our elvis memorabilia collection that was never recovered. Sadly... a spokesperson from the video industry, who only referred to himself as Luke said the money would be better suited in something he called eververse.So we never got any of proceeds after that. So we never got our door fixed and now the animals come in and shit in the foyer, this makes me sad :(

Well this was cool to read.

All of you together. Like Iron Lords!

I like your parents. They hate the Scorn too.

Glad to see you guys pulled through rough times. Family is everything. Amazing how one certain thing can bring family together. For some its church/god, for others its sports.

Edited by Dredgen Truth: 11/24/2019 8:39:26 AMFor all the bad things people say about this game, it just kinda has the power to do that. This game does nothing better than bringing people together.

Posts like this give me hope for the future. I salute you Guardian, may everything stay on track 👍.

Came for the feels.... Left....heart warmed and ready eyed. “This is AMAZING”

I love this post. Thank you for sharing it.

The answer is Yes!! Guardians can have children. Here’s the proof 👍
-
That’s a heart warming story, I wish you luck
-
That’s pretty cool

Edited by iDare2Defy: 11/25/2019 2:44:01 AMThat’s insane. My mom can’t watch me play for more than 2 minutes before getting motion sick. She’s 56 years old. My dad I don’t think has played a game since battle star galactica was a thing in the arcade. He’s 50. To think there are parents out there that will actually play video games is a little mind blowing. Unless you are hella young and your parents aren’t that old. Good for them tho. That’s not a happy ending story you hear much about with gaming.
-
Wished that happened to my family. My parents are divorced. :(
-
I believe your story
-
So cool story. ^^ Makes me want to play with you guys.
-
That is awesome! Good luck to you and your family. 👏
-
What kind of bot post is this? Bungie needs good press this badly?

GG glad to hear!
