300-500 feral devs

I need a 30 round mag in my Monte Carlo Method to fend off 30-50 feral devs that I fired who are demanding 3x their salary to come back and I won't pay them even though my parent company is richer than fucking Mansa Musa.

I'm aware that the approximate count holds meaning, but my mind immediately pivoted to "30-40 feral devs". Is this anything?

Sony eon of humiliation!

Letting generational talent like that go because Sony needed to save money was such a mistake in the long run

we thought the next announcement coming from Bungie was going to be from the sony firing squad so this is way above what we were expecting

destiny player here yes they can actually pull this shit on me

Funnily enough I play PoE too. I'm a magnet for abandoned games

Isn't it less of "they deleted it" and more of "they updated the engine so much the old stuff no longer works" Like, they have all the content it's just completely unusable since they didn't maintain old core builds but the content exists, it just needs to be completely overhauled.

Greed. If there is no old stuff people have to buy new stuff

Glad I got to experience Destiny 2 at launch, but it was painful watching its slow decline and Bungie intentionally self sabotaging.

source on the rehirings?

Did this one just happen?

They apparently updated their linkedin description to hint at another destiny game

yeah I'm cautiously optimistic but I've always been with destiny stuff, except the level of caution hasn't been this low for me since like D2 year 2

I’ve been wondering for a while if bungie leadership was so shortsighted they never even seriously considered doing destiny 3, or if they just missed their window and by the time they pitched it to Sony the response was “get marathon’s Numbers up first”

Installed and Uninstalled the game due to this and I wasn't even aware the game was missing content I just thought it was 'like that' they literally lost tons of potintual new players.

This is the funniest way to say what you said, but i totally get it.

Tbf it was a really really really good game wheneve Bungie would briefly pause from shooting their foot with an auto rifle.

A lot of people in my clan all left after TFS, then they never got those players back for a variety of reasons

The only explanation I can think of that even kind of makes sense is that a key decision maker was convinced FOMO would boost player numbers and absolutely refused to be persuaded otherwise.

what is this, Resident Evil?

If you're referring to bungie, EOL was announced back in like may

Don't worry they'll also unvault their devs

I mean I hope but I’ll believe it when I see it. I’ve seen enough ‘restoring’ trust posts

i wonder how much of it will be hallucinations of content created by an LLM

Hmmmmmmm

What the fuck???

If you could train 10 yards’ worth of feral hogs to make video games, they could be paid in food scraps.

300-500 feral devs roaming the plains

But if they did they how would Pete Parsons get a Porsche owned by a real Nazi commandant or whatever

Now then the practice of deleting source code instead of backing it up is dumb and shouldn't be a thing, but it is unfortunately a very real thing in the game industry.

Physical releases don't include source code. They include machine code which is a translation of the source code into something the computer actually recognizes. This is why decompiling is usually a decades long procedure.
