The Destiny community is a vibrant and dedicated group, and the recent petition supporting the creation of Destiny 3 has gathered over 280,000 signatures. This massive support underscores not only the community’s passion but also the strong desire for the Destiny universe to continue thriving beyond Destiny 2’s current scope. As a devoted member of this community, I am reaching out to urge Sony and Bungie to consider a new path forward: open-sourcing the Destiny intellectual property (IP).

Destiny 2 has been a monumental success, captivating players worldwide with its unique blend of storytelling, breathtaking environments, and engaging gameplay mechanics. However, with the decision to vault Destiny 2, many ardent fans have been left in limbo, with an uncertain future about the continuation of this much-loved universe. Given the unprecedented number of players still committed to the game, it's evident that there’s a significant demand for new content and fresh experiences in the Destiny universe.

By open-sourcing the Destiny IP, Sony and Bungie can empower the talented community to develop new stories, create innovative content, and breathe new life into the game. In doing so, they can unlock untapped potential, allowing the game to evolve in ways that the official development path might not permit. Opening the source can stimulate creative collaboration and lead to unexpected innovations that benefit all players.

Already, there are precedents for open-sourcing within the gaming industry that have led to successful community-driven projects. Titles that have embraced community involvement have experienced a rejuvenation, attracting a new audience while retaining their core fanbase. The potential for Destiny to follow a similar path could redefine its future narrative.

Sony and Bungie, your commitment to Destiny fans has been commendable, yet this is an opportunity to explore a new model that embraces community creativity and dedication. Let's work together to ensure the Destiny universe doesn't just survive—it thrives.

We call on Sony and Bungie to seriously consider this proposal, allowing their passionate consumer base to influence and extend the life of the Destiny series. Let us harness the power, talent, and enthusiasm of the Destiny community to create something extraordinary.

By signing this petition, you are advocating for a future where the Destiny community helps shape the ongoing evolution of a beloved game. Join us in urging Sony and Bungie to open source Destiny 2. Sign this petition to ensure the legacy of Destiny continues!
