In Destiny , you get support from the community and make the subreddit boss the new community manager.
The heart of the English-speaking Destiny community does not beat on Bungie.net, the developers’ forum, but in the subreddit DestinyTheGame. That’s where most discussions take place. Hundreds of new postings appear every day. Hot topics quickly receive 1000 comments. It goes back and forth. Over 186,000 people have subscribed to it. Destiny employees also post and actively read there – and most international news sites and many Youtubers get their information directly from there, just like one might have listened at the marketplace for the latest gossip, trash, but also interesting facts.
The subreddit for Destiny is also clearly the platform where players bring their content and videos about Destiny to the public.
The subreddit was launched in December 2012 by the redditor Cozmo23. This makes him the head of it all, which is customary on reddit.
And now, 30 months later, Bungie has chosen him: He is to become the new community manager alongside DeeJ and Urk. David “DeeJ” Dague has until now acted as the face of Bungie to the players. Eric “Urk” Osborne is currently working more behind the scenes and has greater responsibilities as “Community and Marketing Relations Manager.”
It had already become known a few hours earlier that Bungie was looking for someone, as the previous community manager DeeJ needed reinforcement, as it was said.
It seemed clear that someone popular from the community would be appointed. Many thought of one of the popular streamers or Youtubers who had become known for their Destiny coverage, such as Dattoo, Triple Wreck, KingGothalion, or ProfessorBroman. The choice then likely fell on someone who has proven he can build and maintain a community over a long time. (Besides, this is most likely going to be a paid full-time job in rainy Seattle, which does not suit everyone’s life planning.)
His role as the head of the Destiny subreddit will be relinquished by Cozmo to avoid any loyalty conflicts.
Deej announces and emphasizes that, even though there will be a new community manager, it does not mean that the old one will stop. He remains in his position and looks forward to working with the new member on the team.
Hey! I still work at Bungie. I just have a partner now. His name is @Cozmo23. Get him!!!
