Top Comments of this video!! :3
The bottom line:
Will I play Final Shape? Possibly. I do want to see how this 10 year journey ends.
Will I pre-order? Not a chance in hell.
This may be the first time I ever experience a Destiny DLC solely though watching a let's play rather than experiencing it myself with my two buds Bryce and Ben. We've been lucky enough to stick together and play this wild game since the initial release all those years ago. And as of right now, us three are all in agreement that none are going to play the new expansion unless we hear positive feedback, which is a historic first. Yes, the three of us were blindly hopeful for years, but at least we still loved and hoped for it. Now even that's gone. How the hell do you justify letting go of Michael Salvatore? That's the baffling part for me.
Edit: clarification purposes

I'm here to watch TDT not for the game, but for the people who make the content that goes into this channel. I love your content, I love your style, I love your humour. I'm here for the long run and I know I'm not alone in that. If the content diversifies be it through new video types, like funtages, stream highlights or spicy clips being more about a variety of games, I'm totally here for it. Same goes for if the content of TDT has to move to other games. They say creativity thrives when put under pressure and I can't wait to see what you guys come up with!

I'm not a game developer, but what you said about how some of the devs were pleading with management on some key decisions to turn things around and not being heard hurts because I experience this in my job as a software developer. Sometimes you know exactly what needs to be done to get out of the hole you're in, but management just says "eat shit and do what you're told" and so you have to keep plummeting deeper into it. You can tell them the consequences months or even years in advance and it'll still be your fault when it happens.

I'm sad that michael and maxwell were layed off, seeing some of the best music composers who have worked hard for years for Bungie being fired in a second is truly depressing. I don't know if this is the start of the end for the Destiny franchise, or if it had already started and this is just speeding it up, but I hope we can atleast see the final shape before it dies.

The difficult part about all of this is that layoffs are remarkably common in these kinds of industries, and the way this was carried out by management is remarkably typical (all it takes is one dev made aware of their firing while still able to access their files and code to go in, delete a chunk of code, and everything is now dead). But this is a big blow because of how aware the community was made of what happens. Social media has made it easy for the public to know what goes on in a company. I remember when Hellgate: London announced that they were shutting down because they had to file for bankruptcy; at the time, social media was pretty limited, so it was a huge surprise and upset that a game that seemed to be very alive had failed. Now, we have major warnings, access to insider information, internal leaks, and just about anything else that tells us how these companies are doing in regard to employee morale, hirings and firings, monetary success and failure, and everything in between.
It's a scary world we live in. People make a living off of every aspect of video games, from production, to development, to social media interaction, and even to playing the game itself. These companies can not be so silent anymore. The word will get out, and if they don't communicate, it will usually mean the death of the game, or even the whole company.

Im scared too. Ive been around since the first day of D1. And im heartbroken about this news. I can feel your sorrow man. But all we can do is wait and see what the future holds. I have too much good memories with this game to give up on this game. And the only thing we can do is stick together as a community and try and keep us together. Its cliche but thats what we need right now. For the dedicated players and those that have been around and supporting the game and creating content for the game, i salute you. Weāll get thru this.

My clan has been taking about this for months, not the layoffs, but destiny dying and what weāll do after. Itās heartbreaking. Games like destiny will come around and create these massive tight knit communities, but once the game dies out those countless communities fizzle out. My clan is really tight knit. These are people that play together 3-5 times a week. People that we have known for years at this point. Many of us have met up in real life, driving or flying thousands of miles to do so. And we genuinely donāt know what weāll do once destiny is gone. Itās the one thing that connects us all. All we can do now is hope for the best and send support to those who need it. Those who have built careers around this game. And those who were laid off.

Yeah that was my immediate reaction, Destiny is still going to be around for a while, but after Final Shape, I don't have a lot of hope for future quality. At this rate it will just slowly fizzle out and changes need to happen. The worst part is, what do you do? The twitter post from the CEO tells me that management is never going to suffer any consequences, so even if everyone votes with their wallet, the only people at risk are the actual devs who try to do right by us as we saw with these layoffs, the composer?!? REALLY?!?

45% below projection doesnt mean D2 doesnt make any money, it's just that they dont earn as much as the higher up WANT D2 to make. Sound to me like Bungie messing with the books to build up their portfolio for the Sony buy out and now they are facing the consequences for it. As always when money come in the higher up get all the money and when shit go down the little guy got cut. I have no hype for Final Shape and now im just gonna wait until it is on heavy sale before i come back and finish the story. After that im out lmao will not spend money on games that doesnt respect me.

I think you did a great job at describing what us smaller creators are feeling. We want to keep going and we don't want to leave. We have a good thing here but it feels like we are all be forced to go our separate ways. A game like Destiny doesn't come around often and finding a community like is hard.
