God Rolls - Sony's Bungie, Witch Queen Crafting, Meta Crash
No reset predictions. NO RESET PREDICTIONS
Welcome to another week of God Rolls as we gear up for Big February. My plans are Lost Ark > Horizon Forbidden West > Witch Queen, shelving Elden Ring for later because even though I’m sure that’s GOTY, it’s really just not my genre. Oh and uh, Sony bought Bungie? Was that this week? Man, that’s wild. Still feels like a weird dream.
What I’m Playing: Honestly, not a whole lot. I have my Lost Ark review coming up so I put a ton of time into that, even though progress will get wiped. I am skipping Dying Light and Sifu. Just no time.
What I’m Watching: My wife and I both really enjoyed Reacher on Amazon Prime. I dug Feria, the weird ass horror series on Netflix. I just started Murderville, the improv concept with Will Arnett. Attack on Titan/Demon Slayer double feature day as ever today.
Alright, here’s the breakdown:
Destiny
Sony Buys Destiny 2’s Bungie For $3.6 Billion, Won’t Be PlayStation Exclusive - Obviously the biggest news of the week by a massive margin, and one of the stranger deals we’ve seen in this gold rush recently.
Why ‘Destiny 2’ Doing PS5 Exclusive Content Would Not Make Any Sense - Everyone is afraid of this happening again but given how things have changed over the years, it doesn’t even make logical sense.
‘Destiny 2: Witch Queen’ Trailer Reveals Crafting, New Exotics - We also got a big new Witch Queen trailer featuring a lot of new exotic weapons and armor.
The Fifth ‘Destiny 2’ Subclass Might Be Revealed Through Science Alone - Have talked about this before, but it’s coming up again after The Witch Queen journal confirmed how Stasis works.
Other Games
Why CDPR May Be Hiding The 'Cyberpunk 2077' PS5-Xbox Series X Release Date - This is why I think we haven’t heard anything from CDPR yet.
GameStop’s $100 Million NFT Marketplace Is Going To Go Poorly - Read the article that’s brought me death threats from psychopath GME clowns.
How Exactly Can Meta Prove It’s Delivering The Metaverse? - Facebook had a stock crash this week, and I believe it’s going to have a tough time convincing investors about the metaverse moving forward.
‘Genshin Impact’ 2.5 Reveal: New Primogem Gift Codes, Banners, Events And More - Genshin just showed off what’s coming in 2.5 alongside the arrival of Yae Miko at last.

Might we be seeing a royal wedding in Destiny this year?
Going through the absolutely massive TWAB about crafting and Origin perks
This was my day one, hour one reaction to Sony buying Bungie:
Alright, time for someone to say hello. This may turn into Evie + baby photos soon enough here:
See ya out there.
Also that final chapter/quest in Season of the Lost better be out this week. Witch Queen launches in two weeks, and I think giving people only 2 weeks to play it is pretty dumb. It's already been data-mined, what's the harm in releasing it?
Glad you featured Kujay's video. That guy could single-handedly "fix" all of Destiny 2 with his ideas. Seriously, proposal for how to handle destinations, Gambit, and Strikes are gold. I would be curious to see if Bungie just copies the Void/Solar/Arc 2.0 sublcasses he did too.
