The only reason I picked Destiny a dozen years ago was because as a player I was promised “Character Progression.” I was told that events I did, worlds I explored, enemies I fought, gear I unlocked…would stay with me. As an old Diablo player this “feature” is the most attractive aspect of Destiny to me. Being able to actually see my gear in the game world. Knowing it’s unique or tied to certain feats. This is the greatest lie Bungie ever told. If Bungie was honest about Sunsetting I would have never played Destiny to begin with. I would have probably dove into the Star Citizen universe or something and right now be showing off my football stadium sized space ship, I get to keep, forever… as advertised, like I paid for. I’m putting this in “Feedback” cause that’s what it is, Feedback to Bungie. I feel your company has many issues, issues that seem to start at the top. The Devs, artists, engineers, and play testers don’t seem to actually have a voice or a say at Bungie anymore and it’s clear this why the company is struggling. CEOs don’t know how to make products, they know how sound good to investors (who also don’t know how to make products)
Sunsetting is a huge betrayal. Especially after everything we’ve been through over this topic.
Bungie: “TLDR”
The TLDR: Start to actually listen to your employees and fans. Who actually understand games

Funny thing is they said after they unsunset everything they said we aren’t going to sunset anymore three to four months later we are sunsetting again… I tell you Bungie can’t make up their minds
