The speaker discusses a theory about the game "Destiny", suggesting that the game's primary character, known as the Traveler, might not be the benevolent entity the game initially portrays it as. The Traveler, according to this theory, is responsible for the collapse of humanity's Golden Age and uses humanity as a tool to fight against a force called the Darkness.
The speaker presents several pieces of lore from the game that support this theory. For instance, the Black Garden, the final destination of the game's original campaign, is described as a place of life, while the Guardians, the characters players control, are portrayed as dead soldiers who indiscriminately kill to protect the Traveler.
The speaker also references a quote from a Guardian named Poojari, who expresses doubt about the Traveler and the Black Garden. Another quote from a character named Variks, who is a fallen alien race in the game, suggests that the Traveler and the Darkness are at odds.
The speaker concludes by noting that this theory has been revealed by a former beta tester of the game, who broke their non-disclosure agreement. Despite the game changing drastically after this revelation, the speaker believes that the truth is still hidden within the game's lore. The speaker invites viewers to vote on whether they believe this theory is true or not, and encourages them to watch more game theory videos.
