  • Reviving classic games like the Marathon Trilogy can tap into nostalgia, attracting older gamers and expanding the company's market reach.
  • The introduction of new PvE activities and vehicle types in Destiny 2 showcases Bungie's dedication to innovation and player satisfaction.

What critics are saying

  • Frequent changes in leadership, such as the director change for Marathon, could lead to strategic misalignments and project delays.
  • Financial strains, as indicated by the introduction of Gjallarhorn-themed items, may impact the company's ability to invest in new projects and maintain current ones.
