Warframe's Rebecca Ford Calls Destiny 2's 10-Year Wind-Down Horrible News

Summary
Rebecca Ford said Bungie ending active Destiny 2 development after more than 10 years is “horrible news,” framing it as an industry warning rather than a rival’s defeat.
Bungie announced in May that Destiny 2 would stop getting major development as it shifts resources to Marathon; June’s Monument of Triumph update is set to be its last big content drop.
Ford said the decision shows “the business side” can overrule creators’ attachment to their games, calling that loss of control an existential threat developers think about constantly.
TennoCon 2026 provided the backdrop for the comments, with Warframe still shipping regular story and content updates even as Ford stressed that “no one is celebrating.”
The reaction lands amid a bruising 2026 for game studios, with consolidation, layoffs, closures and cancellations — including turmoil at Xbox — deepening fears over live-service games’ long-term security.
