Bungie recently announced that it is ending ongoing content releases for Destiny 2 on June 9, with the Sony-owned studio shifting to new projects. The end-of-service announcement was upsetting to many, including Warframe creative director Rebecca Ford.
She said on the OnlyFrames podcast that there is "no world where it makes sense."
"Obviously, that news was just cataclysmic. I think there is no world where it makes sense from someone who, you know, enjoys video games that you can just do that," Ford said (via MP1st). "You can just end one of the biggest things to hit the gaming industry in the past 10 years."
Ford went on to say Destiny 2 coming to an end is the result of "the business side of things."
"You’ve seen the business side of things be the biggest voice in the room for a long time. It’s just never hurt this much for a lot of people in our niche genre, I think, which is, you know, it’s unthinkable," she explained.
Ford shared further commentary on social media, writing, "There is no Warframe without the legacy of Bungie games."
She added: "Destiny was and is a force of nature, loved and held in the hands of so many people who, for a moment, were part of the biggest thing in gaming. Then comes the words, summarized crudely: 'The End.'"
Bungie is now focusing on Marathon and incubation work on "our next games," whatever those may be. Destiny 2 is not joining the live-service graveyard and going offline, however, it's just no longer getting new content updates.
Destiny fans want Destiny 3, but it remains to be seen if Bungie will make it. A report said Bungie staffers are pitching new Destiny projects, but none have been greenlit as of yet. Bungie is also reportedly about to undergo "significant" layoffs.
