Ten years after its release, Destiny has been overshadowed by its sequel, but it remains one of the most interesting and important games of the 21st century .

The game is set in a persistent online world with an ever-changing story that nonetheless lets players experience the game at their own pace.

Destiny represents an era of live-service games that’s in some ways healthier than the current one.

Design director Christopher Barrett was reportedly fired last month for inappropriate behavior toward women at the company.

Destiny was born of a wild leap of faith marrying a bizarre, genre-mixing story with satisfying gunplay and an MMO loop.

It survived a rocky launch to improve itself through multiple expansions and a sequel that’s still thriving today .

Unfortunately, the modern games industry resembles the failures of Destiny far more than its successes.
