It’s a trajectory that outpaces Slenderman, its predecessor in the burgeoning creepypasta-to-Hollywood pathway. Backrooms YouTube videos have dominated the time between that first post…

Since Bungie officially announced Thursday that live-service development of Destiny 2 was coming to an end in a few weeks, like many longtime players I find myself reminiscing about the good old days and dreaming of what could have been.
