"Optimistic... worried" - The Destiny 2 community weighs in on Sony's Bungie buyout
In the wake of yesterday’s massive news regarding the partnership between Sony and Bungie, the creators of Destiny 2, the community hubs for the game have erupted in discussion and jokes revolving around the acquisition.
The developer, which is now under the Sony Interactive Entertainment umbrella thanks to a hefty $3.6 billion cheque from the industry giant, immediately made several key assurances to the world in a post on the official website and social media platforms. These include Destiny 2 remaining multi-platform, Bungie remaining creatively independent, and all players having the same experience regardless of where they play.
The overwhelming reaction on the game’s official Reddit was one of positivity from the community, in large part thanks to these assurances. The FAQ published on the Destiny 2 website stated that neither the upcoming Witch Queen expansion nor Destiny 2 in general will be a lessened experience on other platforms.
