Mactics explains why Destiny's past isn't a copy-paste job

Fifteen uploads paired questions about returning Destiny 2 content with an increasingly enthusiastic Elden Ring adventure.

Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

The Biggest Misconception About Destiny... 😳The Biggest Misconception About Destiny... 😳

A viewer asks why bringing back old Destiny 2 content takes so long. Mactics' answer is the week's biggest new upload: the old material cannot simply be dropped into the game as it works today.

In "The Biggest Misconception About Destiny... 😳", he points to the engine changes accompanying Beyond Light and argues that content from the game's early years needs rebuilding for the updated foundations. The clip has reached roughly 240,000 views. Its comments turn that technical explanation into a conversation about patience: several viewers say the wait makes more sense, while others distinguish rebuilding working systems from inventing the locations, stories and artwork anew.

Destiny's future filled plenty of the other upload slots. "We Might Get A NEW RAID In Destiny 2?! 😲" posed a possibility rather than an announcement, and "The Future Is SO Bright For Destiny Players! 🤩" now has the channel's strongest daily viewing momentum.

Meanwhile, the Elden Ring titles are becoming a small diary of escalating confidence. "I am incredibly addicted to elden ring." arrived alongside "I Am Becoming A GOD At Elden Ring...", followed by "I Am Obliterating EVERY BOSS In Elden Ring...". That last upload is also among the channel's busiest videos right now.

Across the catalog, Mactics collected about three million views and added subscribers over the week, although daily viewing is currently below its usual pace. Among nearby gaming channels, HisWattson had a particularly busy viewing week, while Wizzite was quiet. Mactics had the second-largest weekly view gain in that group, with both Destiny explanations and Elden Ring adventures contributing fresh viewing.

What viewers say

  • am I the only one who doesn't even think 1-1.5 years is long? I was completely ready to accept a 2 or even 3 year wait
  • I have seen a dev describe a game as a pizza. The engine is the dough, and the different mechanics of the game as the toppings, and you can only add so many toppings before the dough can't support them. Not a perfect analogy but I think it gets the point across.

  • Ok that year long wait makes a lot more sense now
    @heavyrain4eSee it on YouTube
  • That and game development just takes a long time, it’s a lot of content that needs to be revised and that simply takes time, literally a games worth of content
