Well, it took a long time, years in fact, and I didn't expect this to happen - at least as far as Bungie, Activision and Destiny are concerned.
But it actually has.
In all honesty, I had completely moved on from Destiny - started playing other games, beginning with Skyrim, and didn't look back. I certainly didn't invest in Destiny 2 and didn't really keep up with it especially after hearing that it was more of the same.
Imagine my shock when I just happened to dip back in only to discover that Bungie and Activision had parted ways completely earlier this year - meaning that Bungievision no longer even exists.
I was content to leave it at that - safe in the knowledge that maybe our hundreds of voices had some sort of an impact on the demise of Bungievision. Then I found out to my delight that the whole base game was being offered... for free.
Let me say this plain - there is no way, AT ALL, that we, along with many, many other gamers did not have a major impact on this happening. The original post for this petition sat right at the top of Bungie's message board on and off for weeks. It is impossible that, even though they stayed silent about it, they didn't see it, read all of the responses (both positive and negative) and consider what was being said. But I am genuinely and positively surprised that they acted when they were finally free to do so. It seems I actually had them wrong, and I'm glad for that.
However what I am not glad about in the slightest, and what I had right all along with many among you, unfortunately, is that a large proportion of the gaming industry would charge head-first into exactly the kind of situation that we feared: broken games being released so we are effectively beta-testing them, so called live-service games that don't work properly and have no roadmaps to speak of, developers being reduced to tears while enduring what sound like soul-destroying work environments, gambling mechanics aimed at CHILDREN, micro-transactions that we don't want, loot boxes thrown in for good measure and many other shady company practices.
We now live in an era where a video game publisher gets pulled in front of a government because of its disgusting, morally-bankrupt way of doing business and has the audacity to wonder 'why it's the bad guy'. We could see this coming from a light year away.
But while we couldn't stop that, we did, somehow, bring about what we set out to do - improving Destiny for the better and, against all odds, bringing about the death of Bungievision.
I call that a huge win. Because of all of you.
Now if only we could rip Bioware from the evil, slimy clutches of EA...
PS. As far as I am concerned, Bungievision died like an end-of-game boss. :-)
