To me Destiny is more than just a game. In 2016 at Destiny”s Zenith I lost my older sister due to an illness and not even 2 weeks after her funeral my brother was killed on his motorcycle by a drunk driver. The friends I made in Destiny, clan members and non clan members supported me , counseled me, some sang songs for me many even prayed for me and the rest of my family. Total strangers sent heartfelt messages. Suddenly people wanted to be in my fireteam for Hard Nightfalls, Iron Banner, Raids and dead ghosts hunting. Destiny was a crucial part of dealing with the overwhelming grief I was experiencing. I never seen such an outpouring of concern, compassion and love from people I’ve never met in person. I play a lot of games but it was this community that rallied for me and kept me engaged in the game I enjoy. Seeing all these negative changes to the game and players leaving the game altogether feels like another death to me. Destiny community deserves so much better than what it’s been getting lately.

There was a post I read this weekend, and the guy was about 50. He played the game with his kids as they were growing up, but they don't play anymore. I have seen many posts like this, and it might be their own kids or grandkids. I don't think people realize that Destiny 2 was more than just a game to many. https://youtu.be/VNdZBZRnSxQ?si=OOJmOHrHpcDPIJBD
