Bungie's recently revealed plans to 🌺澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:change how Destiny 2 handles content drops has won some endorsement from the studio's former general counsel. While legal expert Don McGowan admits it "pains" him to say it, he muses on that "it appears that Sony&rsq♔uo;s inflicting some discipline on my former colleagues may have forced them to fix the things that were wrong with their game."

"To be clear: I'm not talking about 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the layoffs," he says (thanks, ). "I'm talking about forcing them to get their heads out of their asses and focus on things like: implementing a method of new player acquisition; not just doing fan service for the fans in the Bungie C-suite; and running the game like a busi𒅌ness. Good. I still have friends in that environment and I'd like them to keep jobs."

McGowan continues by saying operating like a studio and not an independent company is how he thinks Bungie should embrace life after 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Sony's acquisition. Alas, "there were a lot of egos for whom it was important to pretend that 'nothing would change,'" and t𒁃he res𝄹t is history.

"I remember sitting there during the deal saying 'do you think Sony describes this as them getting to pay $3.6 billion for the right to have no input into what Bungie does?'" he conti𒁃nues. "That was exactly what a lꦬot of people thought. I guess they've been given cause to understand that that’s not how things work. Good."

Last week, Bungie that The Final Shape would essentially end the MMO's content model of annual expansions and 'Episodes.' Now, the MM❀O will get two "medium-sized" expansions and four free updates a year. All of this will kick off good and proper next year, at which point we'll get a better of idea of what this all looks like. Though, as for the why, Bungie admits Destiny 2 has "become too rigid" – expansions are starting to feel "too formulaic" and offer "little replay value."

"We've love♐d creating annual Expansions and are especially proud of The Final Shape," game director Tyson Green said. "But the truth is that they dominate almost all our development effort. We need to free ourselves up to explore and innovate with how we deliver ꧋Destiny 2 content so we can invest in areas of the game that will feel more impactful to players."

Destiny 2 is experimenting with Metroidvania and roguelike DNA as Bungie admits "Destiny is too complex" and "you practically need a PhD to decide what to play."
