As a dedicated Destiny player since its launch in 2014, I can’t help but reflect on the highs and lows of my journey with this iconic loot-shooter game. The recent discussion on Reddit about the “worst Destiny drama” has brought back fond (and not-so-fond) memories.
I’ve been a dedicated fan of Destiny since its inception ten years ago, and I must say, it’s truly remarkable to see how far this game has come. There have been moments when I questioned the pacing of its episodic narrative drops, but looking back, The Final Shape stands out as one of the franchise’s most memorable experiences for me.
Bungie’s loot-shooter game has turned out to be one of those rare “live service games” that continues to thrive, but it hasn’t been without its stumbles. As we get ready for the game’s ten-year anniversary celebrations in September, Destiny fans have been active on Reddit, sharing their opinions about the most disappointing “Destiny controversies” since we began our journey into the Cosmodrome back in 2014.
Destiny fans recount the game’s biggest missteps
What was the worst “destiny drama” of all time?

To begin, one person brought up the memory of discovering that shaders, which change the hue of Destiny’s armor, were initially classified as consumables before the release of the second game.
Players were required to acquire several versions of shaders in order to change their appearance; this process was further complicated by the lengthy time it took to eliminate unwanted shader copies. Fortunately, Bungie reversed this decision and now players can use shaders infinitefully.
I once stumbled upon an issue in the gaming community, dubbed the “XP dilemma“. Players meticulously calculated their XP gains and discovered that they were receiving less XP than Bungie had led us to believe. This apparent throttling was a sneaky tactic to encourage us toward purchasing cosmetics. In the end, Bungie admitted to the manipulation but also stripped some of the most desirable items from Bright Engrams we earned through gameplay.
“A commenter expressed surprise, asking ‘Is it ending for these weapons?’ in response to Bungie’s decision to retire certain weapons and introduce new ones through their weapon ‘sunsetting’ policy, as well as their Destiny Content Vault which has resulted in the removal of some activities and areas from the game.”
I’ve been a dedicated fan of Destiny for quite some time now, and I’ve grown accustomed to the game’s unique challenges and rewards. However, I must admit that the recent removal of content I had already paid for has left a bitter taste in my mouth. It feels like a harsh reminder that in the world of online gaming, things can be taken away without warning or explanation.
Some supporters brought up the “Twilight Garrison controversy” where a Bungie employee was driven off X (previously known as Twitter) because of intense backlash over game modifications.
In Destiny’s ten-year history, there have been numerous low points. Yet, it has been an extraordinary journey for countless players, including myself. I can honestly say that my current position may not have been possible without this experience.
