Taking a step back from the argument about whether or not Bungie listens to criticism or not, let's look at a little math: 12,869,066×$60=$772,143,960 That is how much money Bungie and Activision made off of just the players currently playing, without including the DLC. With their stated budget of $500,000,000 they've made over 150% of their budget on the first installment of the game franchise. They are not getting a monthly incentive to keep us playing (no monthly fees). I dont know their operating costs or the taxes involved, so will not speculate on their profit margin. Even without that monthly incentive, economics tells them that Destiny is a rousing success, whether or not we continue to play. This is by no means an all-inclusive reason, as the combined total time of play by all people playing is 99,589.541 years, and the game has only been out for 3 months. That's almost 100 MILLENNIA of playtime, in 3 MONTHS! To continue, the beginning of something even resembling this kind of instantaneous feedback from a developer was Mass Effect 3 and its horrible ending. That set the precedent of a game developer bowing to the community. However, it may be an anomaly and not a precedent. What it did create was the belief that the community had the power to brow beat a developer until they capitulate. I'm not saying I agree or disagree with their actions, or whether or not they are listening (despite the title), the simple fact is that, from the standpoint of economics, Destiny is a successful game. Feel free to slander me at your own convenience. EDIT: I thank you all for your replies. Whether supportive, detractive, praising, or derogatory you took the time to read my post and reply. I've learned a lot from it. My maths are flawed. I understand. The point of this post was to get people to take a step back and think; to consider things objectively. I hope this was accomplished. Thank you for your time.
