Firstly, thank you to the Bungie devs for listening to the community and making some excellent changes and for scrambling to fix all the current and previous bugs. I see you and appreciate you.
What I want to ask is, how difficult would it be for Bungie to migrate our data to a new, top of the line engine? Tiger has been incredible, but goven all bugs and even the sheer fact we needed sunsetting ahows that it's time to retire the engine and focus on the infrastructure. Get your Infra teams some help, and you'll see this game flourish with all the new possibilities. Can't help but wonder with the massive amount of money Sony gave them, that data migration couldn't be too impossible. I just want some of the old story content back in a relevant way and not have to earn everything back again with a Destiny 3 release. Destiny itself is now far more into the MMO side of the pool than ever before, so why not invest in an engine and foundation that will support that growth?

Engine, called the Tiger Engine is both sad, and hilarious. Keep in mind the Blam Engine was made in 1997. Being a very early 2000s kid, that engine is older than me. Not by much, but still. In 2008, they started to feel that the Blam engine was restrictive and so they (Bungle) started to heavily modify it into the Tiger Engine which both Destiny 1 and Density 2 use. In the world of technology, that’s just unacceptable. Imagine using -let’s go from the 2008 date - a 15 year old engine that was never made for live service games since back then, games were box-games, for a live service game. What genius thought that was a good idea? The current engine is in some cases, older than the players who play the game that it’s meant to keep running, and in other cases, either as old, or slightly younger, than other players. That’s just pathetic.
