THIS WEEK: A lot of questions are swirling around Bungie's current roster of games over the last few weeks. Why have developers been shifted from Destiny 2 to Marathon? How healthy are the populations for both games? What can Guardians and Runners expect from their respective updates in June? EpicDan22 & Danfinity attempt to answer these questions alongside this week's guest, Twitch Streamer & Raid Sherpa, @teamchucks !
