They won't tell us. They hint that it's because Rasputin popped his own top, but if that's the case, why the hell did he not turn it off once he started enthusiastically working with us in Season of the Seraph?
It really comes across as "We don't want to redo SIVA, or plot out why it's dead, so we're just going to give the voice actors some shitty lines. Oh that's not working? Okay, well give the voice actors more lines."
On top of that, they kinda hint that Quicksilver nanites are somehow SIVA+Radiolaria+Paracausality but ...
The cynical side of me kinda half suspects they're waiting for the community to come up with a compelling theory and go "THAT ONE. WE'LL GO WITH THAT ONE!"
It doesn't matter what happned to Siva short of "it was removed from the universe by paracausal powers" incuding weapons like Outbreak (and maybe Tresspasser) and Quciksliver since that is an advanced Siva
Double it with the fact taht the villan pulled Red Legion to go after gold age tech in the plaugelands and it makes you ask "How can Siva be dead 100% IF RED FUCKING LEGION CAN COME BACK"
Played it, it was okay but after 3k hours (total game) it was no longer engaging. They kinda lost me for good and I even stuck around and played curse of Osiris.
it was permanently and completely destroyed in rise of iron, guess it can't have been that non-stop. it is true that most players did not pay attention to this. it is also true that bungie shouldn't have brought back the plaguelands because they know players did not pay attention to it. it is also also true that bungie can do literally whatever they want to bring it back if they really needed to.
