Former Bungie employees have revealed that the studio considered creating a dating simulator set in the Destiny universe. The proposal, which included real cost calculations, was rejected by management, who deemed it a worthless idea. While it doesn't affect players, the case shows how companies prioritize projects they consider more serious.
The technical development of a discarded idea 💔
According to sources, some workers presented documents with time and resource estimates for the simulator, including branching dialogue systems and character models with specific animations. However, Bungie's management considered that the project did not fit the image of the shooter game. The rejection was firm, and the concept never moved beyond the internal proposal phase, remaining archived among other unrealized ideas.
Love doesn't wait in the Cosmodrome 🚀
So if you dreamed of inviting a Guardian to dinner or having a romantic date with an Engram, you'll have to keep waiting. Bungie preferred to focus on serious things, like shooting aliens and collecting loot. Because, let's be honest, nothing says true love like a Crucible match at 3 AM. The Destiny dating simulator remains forgotten.
