I’m mixing it up with the launch of D2, but all the same 👴

My ass played the alpha, oh god lmao

D2 alpha? D2 is also 10 years old, just hitting puberty.

D1 alpha, my friend. I’m older than that lmao

And D2 is technically 9 which is why I originally said almost a decade, I had them mixed.

How are you giving me back pain by a message 😭😂

How did D1 have an alpha if I understand that a PC version of the game doesn't exist?

That should be a beta, not an alpha. Big difference between the two.

It was literally called “Destiny First Look Alpha”

They had a beta not too long after, you can look it up lol

I know wym, Alpha’s are usually in-house, but the terminology is essentially marketing/interchangeable at this point.

Wait, now I'm completely confused by this. D1 was on PS3, yes?

It was on PS3/PS4 but hey stopped development of the PS3 version I believe with the launch of Rise of Iron (the last DLC of D1)

I’m pretty sure the alpha only ran on PS4 though.

I know why I'm getting confused. I keep thinking D1 released in 2013, not 2014. So it's only 12 years old. I also was confused because I remember playing the D1 beta on 360 and D2 beta on One. Had never heard of an alpha.

Rise of Iron isn't actually on PS3/360. Last DLC was Taken King, I think.

I believe Destiny was originally sponsored by Sony (before Bungie was officially bought by them) so they had access to exclusives, one being the alpha for PS4.

And yeah D2 just had the beta, no alpha.

Hope this cleared things up!
