Destiny 2 wasn’t just another live service game. For millions of players, it became a world they lived in for nearly a decade. Bungie had built one of the most loyal communities in gaming history. But after years of broken promises, Destiny 2 is now heading toward its final live service update, with no Destiny 3 in development and Bungie fully pivoting toward Marathon. So after Sony paid $3.6 billion for Bungie to lead its live service future, the studio behind Halo and Destiny somehow ended up abandoning the one game they’d already won with. This video breaks down the complete decline of Bungie, the collapse of Destiny 2, Marathon underperforming expectations, the Sony Bungie buyout, and how one of gaming’s most respected studios slowly destroyed the trust of its own players. From XP throttling and Eververse to sunsetting, content vaulting, Marathon, layoffs and the end of Destiny 2, this is the story of how Bungie lost its community, its reputation and potentially its entire legacy.
