destiny (2, at least) was a mechanically great shooter attached to an abysmal story with awful MMO gear/leveling features and some of the worst company decisions I’ve ever heard of.
the game would literally be better if their parent company had died the moment they released it.
they’ve probably earned him more than a couple of dollars, too, just from people wanting to read the source material.
and I doubt there would have been a Netflix series without the games.
