Layoffs started (Destiny)

I've found the (myriad) post-mortems floating around X/Reddit/here interesting and, as someone who's been mostly checked out since D1, educational.

I have thoughts and speculations but first I'd like to know: how do (and did) people receive Destiny 1? I remember even then that people had the same sort of "this sucks but I'm playing anyway" impulsion that I'd say has characterized the Destiny 2 fan communities. And yet D1 must have been commercially successful in a way D2 wasn't.

If the fault for the layoffs the last few years is with "management", what changed? And for the people who believe the "soul" of Bungie escaped long ago and what remains is a corporate husk, was that soul present in D1?
