Destiny 2 hosted its first live event in-game on Saturday, blowing up the Almighty superweapon. The destruction of the Almighty had been a season in the making, and after a 90-minute wait, everyone who was online in Destiny 2 got to see the ship come crashing down.
Perhaps against my better judgment, I decided to attend the first Destiny 2 live event on Saturday. Much like the live events that Fortnite has popularized in recent years, Destiny 2 developer Bungie wanted to wrap the latest season of its online game with a bang by giving players a reason to all log in at once and see something that would only happen once. If you missed it, you’re out of luck. But that’s what makes it so impactful, and Fortnite has shown time and time again just how invested players are in unique occurrences like these.
