Betting on Bungie

There are no video games in history I’ve sunk more playtime into than Destiny and Destiny 2. It started in mid-2014 with Destiny’s First Look Alpha, which instantly hooked me, through the public beta and the official release, as well as all of D1's DLC, including its peak with The Taken King.

Destiny was the first game I played that had the perfect mixture of everything that drew me to gaming in the first place... mystery, story, complexity, tight mechanics and, of course, finding and collecting gear and items. It felt like magic—every few weeks someone would find something new, or the community would band together to solve a mystery.
