One of the most famous YouTubers about Destiny and Destiny 2 has been Datto for 10 years. He has now addressed the community in a “I was so bad, forgive me” video. Reason for the video: Datto had been deleting Destiny-Messis weapons from the safe for years to make room. Today he knows: That was a bad mistake. Because Bungie changed their decision after 4 years and made the actually useless weapons useful again. But deleted weapons are irretrievably gone.
Who is Datto?
Datto deleted the Destiny Messi weapons and now regrets it
He now apologizes for this: This is exactly what deleting weapons is all about. Datto apologizes in a YouTube video for the actions of his fictional company “Datto Vault Cleaning LLC.”
He says he deleted weapons in good faith to make room in the vault and had no idea what he was doing to people: Now that Bungie has decided that the supposedly useless and outdated weapons he deleted are useful again and would become valuable.
He says he never believed in his heart that Bungie would reverse sunsetting after so long.
He will now “lay off all Datto Vault Cleaning employees and close the company.” Datto apologizes for all the suffering he has caused with his decisions and ideas:
“The road to hell is paved with good intentions. I never thought anything like this would ever happen.”
This is what lies behind it: Datto pulls off a wonderful parody of the “I screwed up” apology videos of YouTubers who want to somehow save their careers – beautifully staged, with a dog and a fake partner who looks outstandingly suffering throughout the entire video while doing her stand by man firmly.
It’s all in good fun and the comments are amazed at how serious he is about it.
The video may for a moment ease some anger about the actually tricky situation that Bungie has plunged players into. Because Bungie has actually rewarded the stubborn players who have refused to clean out their lockers for years.
Life-long wounds were inflicted and very strange “I’ll definitely need this again at some point and then I’ll be annoyed when I threw it away” behavior patterns were rewarded.
