I believe it was either Chris Barrett or Luke Smith who once explained that the reason why Rise of Iron / Age of Triumph had such high power fantasy was because they knew D2 was coming and it didn't matter how much they broke the game.
After the ITL showcase today, it seems they are once again unleashing the power fantasy. With some of those perk combos, I can't believe they will be able to sustain that for long in a way that doesn't conflict with their "don't trivialize content" philosophy.
I will be surprised if a D3 announcement doesn't follow TFS with the Episodes and 2025 being a buffer for a D3 release in possibly 2026.
Maybe a D3 under Sony leadership might actually be worthwhile.

I don’t think Sony D3 would be any better or worse than a Bungie D3. They have suits that will limit what they want worked on based on their monetary goals, not what would make a good game. That said, there’s no D3 on the way. The best time to drop that bombshell would have been when morale was at an all time low (layoffs, bad writing and storytelling in Lightfall leading to reduced preorders, etc.), and it’s crickets. Bungie needs a fat win to keep their jobs, and they don’t have it because all their resources went into Marathon.
