The last vestige of Bungie is going

Groups are getting shut down this month. From Duards himself;

Quote

Within the past six months, out of the 5.1-million Groups that have been created, only 65 were active with at least one post in them. Breaking that down further, only 16 were active in the past month, 10 of those had over 10 posts in them, and only 3 broke over 100 posts.

This decision did not come lightly, and we’ve been postponing it for several years. But with our website’s future hosting multiple IPs, we must upgrade and begin the process of shutting down older features that no longer see usage.

So if for some godforsaken reason you like hoarding and backing up conversations, now might be a good time...

I can't stomach Nu-Bungie but I can see logic in this decision. Why keep a feature around that isn't being used when resources could be allocated to something that will be?

All the groups that still survive on a monthly chat post or two are only full of the few remaining Bungie dick-throaters anyhow.

Surprised this didn’t happen years ago, given how antagonistic they’ve been to groups since b.next

It's over

Groups have been broken for years now. I'm surprised they weren't shut down sooner.

Disabling OG Xbox servers was the real knife in the heart.

R.I.P Halo 2

Anything afterwards was just extra nails in the coffin:
2015 - non Destiny players can only post on #offtopic
2016 - non Destiny players can't post on B.net
2017 - non Destiny 2 players can't post on B.net
2018 - so long B.old threads (Has below radar changed in BF3?)

Bungie just laid off a shit ton of staff including Michael Salvatori. Final Shape is delayed by 4 months and Marathon delayed to 2025.

It has never been more over.

Yep. I no-life this game and it's clear this is kinda the end. I expect the game will be on auto-pilot from here on out and they will start hemorrhaging players.

Super sad. Fuck those corporate pigs who make these kind of decisions.

Marathon already off to a bad start.

Yeah I seriously doubt the episodes thing is going to be any less barebones than seasons have been. I still hope sincerely that there will be a complete Destiny one day with all the content from D1 through TFS, but I seriously doubt it.

Groups going away is entirely a result of planned obsolescence and I'm pretty sure they're doing the same thing with Destiny right now.
