Destiny 1 and 2. I should have learned my lesson with the first game, but the hype train picked me up anyway.
I started D2 with Shadowkeep's launch, sunk in 12k hours, spent who knows how much money on bullshit cosmetics, and finally quit for good this past November.
I've made some lifelong friends through that community, pushed myself to do some serious challenges (solo Nez and pre-Resilience solo GM Lightblade probably my top two), and I wouldn't take all the time spent back, but the game and studio are toxic as fuck and putting it behind me has been one of the best decisions I've ever made.
I do legitimately miss the social aspect we built around it - our small community discord has been incredibly quiet since most of us dropped the game. And pushing myself for lowman challenges and such was exhilarating. But the problems of that game and Bungie as a whole far outweigh any remaining value, and besides they're pushing the game in such a dogshit direction anyway. FOMO, power creep to hell and back, abysmal pvp sandbox andmatchmaking, I'm good.
