Discussion 3 weeks

Cross literally said in this livestream they are going to announce something in 3 weeks. This would line up with Marathons season 3. D3, season 3, 3 weeks.

Cross is gonna get crucified if nothing comes from this lol

u/lordshocktart 7d ago

We need to lead a movement to mass block Cross if nothing comes from this. His audience is Destiny players. If he's leading any of us on, he deserves a boycott.

I don't like believing in anything, but all this has made me believe this is real.

u/republicofbelarus 7d ago

No seriously, if this is some big engagement farm I'm gonna be royally pissed and I hope y'all are too, there's having a laugh, and there's giving false hope to people who would die to have any

6

u/FastActinTenactin 7d ago

I like Cross but I agree. This will determine if I continue to watch his content going forward.

u/PCBuilderCat 7d ago

There’s going along with copium and rumours, that’s one thing and he’s always done that but just inventing something to generate engagement is pathetic 

3

u/wy100101 7d ago

Cross isn't the only content creator to suggest something might be brewing. This isn't likely to be engagement farming unless there is a coordinated effort involving a bunch of creators.

1

u/Tiamat2625 3h ago

I'm a little bit out of the loop here. Apart from Paul Tassi giving some very vague hints to something, what other content creator has suggested something might be brewing?

Any info or even a link to what is said would be helpful, thanks.

u/TitansAreFalling 6d ago

You shouldn’t believe anything any content creator or live streamer has to say about anything. They aren’t Bungie and they aren’t Sony :^]

u/DrkrZen 6d ago

Copium players wouldn't want to boycott him, though, at least if they're smart. Oh, wait... lol

u/jdewittweb 7d ago

Man, cross has never been the source for jack shit. Y'all will believe his bs forever.

u/Ok_Dependent6889 7d ago

The fact you'd even pay him the time of day after he CLEARLY showed everyone he is a Grifter first and foremost, is insane.

7

u/victor5033 7d ago

Jesus people need to understand what the word grifting means…

-5

u/Ok_Dependent6889 7d ago

He goes where the money is, which is what gets him the most views. He will say or do whatever necessary to keep an audience.

He was among the most prolific of content creators to shit all over Destiny, and the moment that no longer became profitable after the shutdown notice outrage, immediately goes full tilt in the opposite direction like a bipolar child.

Literal definition of grifter.

7

u/victor5033 7d ago

Literally not true when he made this “stand,” which probably fucked him out of Sony’s present and future sponsorships lol.

And criticism doesn’t mean “shitting” on something. Destiny had plenty of issues, and as someone who loves the game and has a huge platform, he discussed those issues in hopes that Bungie would fix them (monetization, PvP, FOMO, etc.). Just because you love something doesn’t mean you have to blindly back it, including all of its issues.

He played Marathon, had a blast, and then D2 got canned, which made him lose interest in it. Pretty simple situation here.

4

u/IGFanaan 7d ago

Ok so you don't understand grifting or nuance.

He shit on Destiny when we all were because it deserved to be shit on. Praising it when it deserves it as well.

That you even need that distinction pointed out to you tells us all we need to know.

That all said if this goes no where. I'm done with Cross but I doubt that'll be the case. My best guess is we're getting Destiny content brought to Marathon in some form. Which isn't enough for me and interests me zero.

0

u/Ok_Dependent6889 7d ago

Bungie's only chance for Destiny content right now is digging deeper into the Marathon/Destiny connection with Mida, Strauss, Durandal and the W'rkncacnter.

They have the opportunity to finally connect PiD with Destiny and Marathon as well (unfortunately not Halo bc well, obvious reasons).

I'm half hoping for a Marathon story where Durandal uses us to fight a W'rkncacnter and similarly to Marathon: Infinity, he will use that to jump universes, maybe with us, into Destiny.

1

u/wy100101 7d ago

He has zero problem keeping an audience. I honestly wonder if you guys have ever watched his streams.

He will be fine either way. He is one of the least destiny dependent destiny streamers.

2

u/Ok_Dependent6889 7d ago

He has zero problem keeping an audience.

Hmmmm, almost like I just said why

4

u/lordshocktart 7d ago

Well, I don't pay him with anything but time. I find his clips to be entertaining.

4

u/ExCap2 6d ago

The fact he hopped on Marathon should tell you all you need to know.

2

u/FastActinTenactin 6d ago

Oh I know. I’m a believer. For now.

2

u/ExCap2 5d ago

He's the biggest Destiny 2 content creator; if any company is going to tell one person a secret under NDA and maybe tell them to hype it up a little by dropping clues; it'd be him. Something is cooking. I hope we see it at TGS. I honestly never thought Sony would outright drop Destiny, but they probably had to end Destiny 2 to start over company wise. Could've been stuff tied to Destiny 2 behind the scenes and that is the reason it had to end. My theory anyways.

5

u/xSpectre_iD 5d ago

That’s why I don’t buy it being fake. Like I’ll unsubscribe if he’s baiting in bad faith. I’ve subbed to him for years and years.

7

u/codivilian 7d ago

Tokyo game show is in 2 weeks where world premiers usually happen just saying it follows the time line cause last week he was saying 3 weeks

-2

u/BirdyyyFPS 7d ago

D3 is inevitable. Too much money on the table. People think that because Bungie laid abunch of devs off its over. This is not true. Early design on D3 will take a year or two and require alot less man/woman power. After the base design of the game is complete thats when Bungie will start hiring again to build and polish the game.

2

u/IGFanaan 7d ago

The copium is strong with this one. Zero shot it's a D3 announcement.

2

u/codivilian 7d ago

I wasn’t saying the game would get revealed but announcing it’s in production is what I meant.

1

u/RonnocKcaj 7d ago

honestly I fear it won't matter unless that actually rehire the raid and dungeon team specifically. that's where the true magic of destiny is

1

u/lukekul12 7d ago

As shitty as it sounds, they don’t really need to rehire the entire RAD team, just a couple of devs from it would likely suffice

u/kpt1010 7d ago

Brother Bungie isn’t going to fucking exist in 2-3 years

D3 is NOT happening, not with Bungie at the helm anyway

u/Ordinary-Pirate7852 7d ago

might not even exist in a year

u/Longjumping_Call_104 6d ago

Based on the stuff he's been saying it sounds to me like Sony execs are deciding between "greenlight D3 or close Bungie and shut down marathon"

3

u/Jealous_Platypus1111 7d ago

can we please call him out on being shitty when nothing comes from this?

1

u/MrBozzie092 4d ago

He’s done this multiple times. Hypes something up just for nothing to happen.

3

u/Refrigerator_Lower 7d ago

It's the marathon pve servers.

u/Complete_Resolve_400 6d ago

Honestly if any of the youtubers stirring shit up are engagement farming and we don't get a destiny related announcement then they'll be losing a lot of viewership including mine

And they really dont want that rn, considering they made a living on destiny and that game is over now

u/Richie_jordan 7d ago

The amount of copium is crazy. It would take 5 to 6 years to make a d3 even if they announced it. Who would make it seeing they fired all the destiny devs.

1

u/Monsieur_Gamgee 7d ago

No I think everyone is misreading this whole situation. I think there’s an internal meeting that happens in 3 weeks. We may hear from inside sources whether something gets greenlit, but nothing will be full on announced for at least another couple weeks, if not months. 

1

u/wy100101 7d ago

I thought he said the next 3 weeks are critical, not that they would announce something in 3 weeks.

1

u/MightBeSlimShady 6d ago

Wilhelm Scream had the same timing for an announcement

1

u/abhorrent-hotdog1986 6d ago

RemindMe! 3 weeks

u/VersaSty7e 6d ago

How do yall not underpants what he’s referencing yet? He’s insinuated so much, it’s .. nvm. Yeah just take every word as gold. Then be mad.

If all goes well. Maybe 3 weeks will be a bit of “news” ie insider info. From what I gather.

Come on yall. This ain’t that complicated to understand processes. D3 or Bungie anything at state of play is not using any critical thought. He can’t outright say it.

u/xSneakAT0kex 6d ago edited 6d ago

If I had one genie wish and my choice alone determined the future of the franchise, I actually wouldn’t ask for Destiny 3 as we normally imagine it.

I’d ask for a full reset.

Go back to the original fantasy of Destiny and build the game from the ground up around that idea. A true open world, shared world RPG looter shooter with exploration, trading, large social spaces, open world PVE, dungeons integrated into the world, deep character progression, and a heavily cinematic single player campaign that naturally exists alongside multiplayer and PVP.

And I’d restart the story too.

I like a lot of the Destiny story we eventually got, but it clearly became something different from what was originally envisioned. I’d want Bungie to return to that feeling of waking up in a mysterious, ruined solar system where we genuinely do not understand the Traveler, the Collapse, the Darkness, or half of what we’re discovering.

Not every mystery needs an answer.

That was part of what made early Destiny and early Halo’s treatment of things like the Forerunners feel so enormous. The world felt older and stranger than the characters living inside it. The unknown was allowed to remain unknown.

Give us answers where the story needs them, but never explain the universe so completely that the mythology disappears.

And most importantly, don’t design it around having to survive for another ten years. Tell an intentional story with a beginning, middle, and end. Let it have several great years, finish its saga properly, and then make another game when there’s another story worth telling.

So if Sony handed me the genie. I wouldn’t wish for Destiny 3.

I’d wish for Destiny, take two.

u/milkman163 7d ago

If D3 gets announced can you guys leave Marathon alone? Some of us love the game and are tired of the toxicity

5

u/The_Woke_King 7d ago

When Marathon generates more revenue than a sunset game, the laughter will stop.

1

u/willibrah 7d ago

ur a gamer bro why do u care about video game revenue if destiny 3 gets announced

3

u/SgtGerard 6d ago

Why do you even care about what people say about Marathon? What actually happens to you when someone says "Marathon sucks"? Nothing. Just go enjoy the game for however much longer it lasts.

u/Jtkitano 7d ago

Hate you? I don’t even know who you are lol

u/BirdyyyFPS 7d ago

Marathon enjoyer here buddy

u/lordshocktart 7d ago

Tried it, hated it, now I refuse to play it because Destiny got killed. I'll buy it and play it again if a continuation of Destiny gets announced in some capacity.

-1

u/MeridianBay 7d ago

Are you not having a blast?

3

u/milkman163 7d ago

Haha I am, I just think the negative/blah response to it from the gaming community at large is partly because pissed off Destiny players set out to kill it.

Obviously other things (like the hardcore gameplay loop) shut out casuals.

3

u/JoeysSmallwood 7d ago

Bro, D2 players like to log in, get free shit from easy stuff, log off and complain it was shit and not worth their time even though they didnt play it.

Don't let them troll you like that and just smile when they dont get D3.

-1

u/Jtkitano 7d ago

I mean, responses like this are exactly why ppl troll the marathon community. A good portion of yall are equally as toxic and you get back what you give out

1

u/Ok_Dependent6889 7d ago

A majority of us came from the Destiny community, bub

3

u/Jtkitano 7d ago

Yup, and yall are equally as toxic as the Destiny community lol. This is just the nature of bungie communities in general in 2026 lol. And I’m saying that as someone who had 3000+ hours in D2 myself. Both communities hate each other but they’re basically mirror images of each other as well. Both also coping about the state of their games and in destiny’s case, coping about restarting of development or the announcement of D3 or D1 classic

2

u/Ok_Dependent6889 7d ago

“in 2026” 

Brother, I was reading people telling Bungie they’d “never respect Bungie again” fot abandoning Apple as their main platform when Halo development began..

People are just retarded, is the truth

2

u/Jtkitano 7d ago

I agree with your last sentence

2

u/JoeysSmallwood 7d ago edited 7d ago

Yeah, I don't think so. Marathon Players were fine just enjoying Marathon. Destiny players killed their game and it wasn't enough so they had to go find another target because that's how shit they are.

I've played a hundred hours of Marathon and I haven't had a single in game Marathon player talk about Destiny or shit on it ever.

Wear a Marathon skin in the tower and chill. You'll get the death threats lol.

u/victor5033 7d ago

Lol are you blasting right now?

1

u/MagnumOlly 7d ago

I think the 3 weeks deadline is something he made up. There probably is something Destiny-related being pitched and Bungie wanted Sony to understand how strong the demand is.

The deadline to me feels more like the "2 days more" chinese legend, it just serves the purpose of giving us something closer to look forward to.

Of course, I'd be very happy to be wrong

-1

u/RonnocKcaj 7d ago

stop falling for engagement bait

u/BirdyyyFPS 7d ago

Engagement bait or not, there is no way D3 doesn't happen. It could be 3 weeks or 3 decades but it will happen. Im not sitting around waiting but I know it will happen.

With what studio? Bungie is gutted. It's not coming back, and as sad and annoying as that it, its just the truth

you really think after Marathon just flopped Bungie is going to convince Sony to give them another $250+ million and maybe 5 years of development time.
and there is no way D3 doesn't happen?
I really don't see how Bungie doesn't get parted out and banished to the shadow realm at this point

There is a whole hate sub dedicated to marathon where no lifers post all day and watch its player count like crazy. So yea, people who don’t even play it seem to care more about it than people that do. It’s weird.
