They absolute milked the living shit out of the Destiny franchise until it died unceremoniously. They also funneled that pile of cash into exotic cars and Marathon.
The part that blows my mind is how there are Destiny 2 fans out there that want Sony to greenlight Destiny 3 and let Bungie make it. They expect Sony to give $500M to this group of devs and leadership that managed to kill the franchise through repeated mismanagement and under delivery over the years? Destiny 2 fans more of the most aggressive FOMO driven anti-consumer microtransactions to nickle and dime them for another decade? Seriously?
Probably the best thing that can happen for Destiny is for Sony to give Destiny IP over to another studio like Insomniac, Guerrilla, Sucker Punch, or Santa Monica to make a non-live service Destiny game.

Sorry, Santa Monica is locked into God of War like it's a 30 year mortgage.

Yeah true. That’s a shame because Destiny made by Santa Monica Studio could be pretty good. They have some top talents over there.

Santa Monica barely make games, more just semi interactive cutscenes at this point. Why you would want them to make a first person shooter I can’t figure out.
