    Honestly, this doesn't move the needle for me. I'm trying to avoid GaaS and Destiny never caught my attention in any meaningful way. I would be interested to see Bungie make a new IP but if player interest is centered around FOMO-style tactics that are rampant in GaaS games, I will pass.

    I kind of lost track of Bungie after Microsoft bought them. I was so looking forward to Halo being a premier Mac game that followed up from Marathon. I'm glad they've done well for themselves.

Now if I can find a similar port of Myth I'll be happy camper.
