You’re invited to Destiny’s cursed unofficial final raid: Pete Carsons’ Vault of Cars

The decline of Destiny 2 has led to significant community frustration, particularly directed at Pete Parsons, the former CEO of Bungie, who resigned in August 2025. A parody account, Pete Carsons, created a humorous browser-based game called "The Vault of Cars," which satirizes Parsons and invites players to face him in a comedic raid. The game features mechanics inspired by Destiny, including throwing tomatoes at cars with names like Micro Management and Crunch Enforcer, and navigating a parody of the Oracles puzzle. A "World's First" completion event was organized, and players completed the raid within two hours of its launch, though there was no reward for the first completion.
