The worst thing is the statement "We've only kept the right people" or whatever the correct phrasing was, which is a massive slap in the face on top of the rest.. Basically coming down to "We fired you because you aren't good enough for us"..

It wasn't a catastrophe. I'm so tired of seeing people complain about "the way it was handled".

When we needed him most, Skeletor returns.

The subtle pause "What?" in these videos always gets me.

You're one of the few remaining Destiny 2 content creators I still follow since deleting the game and your content is still top notch. Skeletor always knows what to say to brighten up my day. I still can't get over the fact that after firing so much talent and diehard contributors to their success they had the nerve to say that they kept the right people.

As someone who quit during Season of the Deep and came back for two days during the release week of season of the Witch just to uninstall again I’ve long since taken the pill of “Destiny is on a train to hell that is gaining speed exponentially.” At this point, I just wanted the developers to get their desires. If even that is getting squashed into the dust, I hold no sympathy for those on top. If Bungie as a company dies in a disgraceful blaze due to this, so be it. I hope the developers don’t have to sink with the Swiss cheese-holed ship
