The 6,400 word 2023 Destiny 2 State of the Game post that was published by Game Director Joe Blackburn yesterday has seemingly united disparate fans and content creators all across the playerbase.

Kind of expected this response.

The backlash came to a head due to a combination of a few things.

  1. Lightfall release was a mess, and not well-received. Primarily walling off lore in the paid-for seasonal content did NOT go over well at all.
  2. Consistent server problems (much worse since Lightfall dropped)
  3. Cheating in PvP (which there has been a decent crackdown by Bungie recently)
  4. The announcement of Marathon (where all their primary PvP devs went)
  5. The video by streamer Aztecross on monetization creep in the game, and subsequent responses by other streamers.
  6. Silence from Bungie, or updates such as this one that don't really adequately address the message players are trying to send.
