[quote]It's come to my attention that communities stick together and always wish for great things to happen to those we respect. Take Team Cherry, for instance - The developers for Hollowknight and Silksong. Those developers receive nothing but praise. Yes, their community constantly let's them know that they're waiting for Silksong's release, but despite the desire, they know that they're doing all they can to perfect their game. Like Willy Wonka and his chocolate factory, when the factory sits quiet, all know that is when the real work is being done. Where am I going with this? Well, Bungie had a goal, Beyond Light, Witchqueen, Lightfall - Witchqueen had the delay due to covid and was half baked, but still passed as being pretty good. It didn't have Strand, but at this point, the players didn't even know what strand was. Then came lightfall, but it wasn’t the original Lightfall. This Lightfall was nothing more than a tragic descent from grace. Neomuna was never supposed to be a destination. The veil was most likely supposed to be on Savathun's throne world. Rewrites and Retcons are dangerous in story telling, they are shoddy patches that cause the original vision to blur into a point of unrecognizable obscurity. My question to the community: Would you have supported Bungie if they delayed Witchqueen for a year or even longer? Strand would have been in Witchqueen, and Lightfall would have been the conclusion we all wanted. If Bungie came out and said, the studio is going to go radio silent - No new seasons beyond a specific point and major patch released, putting the game at a golden balanced moment - Old pvp maps returned along with the old redwar campaign and forsaken content, and then they just left the game to hold its own weight for the time being, would it have survived? Would we be playing horns of triumph, or would we be playing a dirge of sorrow? Personally, the answer is simple. I would have traded all the seasonal content we got for Witchqueen and Lightfall to be the expansions they could have been.[/quote] Comparing small-time devs to a billion dollar business is pretty dumb. Bungie wants your money. Its no mystery, this is Bidness. So imo they would never delay as that would impact revenue. Simples.
