Well, if Activision think about it all, they'd see that PvP (and now gambit too) is expected to keep the game going between expansions after the hardcore crowd have finished everything. You know what doesn't help PvP? Well for one thing a lack of dedicated servers. Idk who makes the decision on that but if you want more people to play regularly I'm sure that less lag would help make the game more enjoyable.
Maybe forsaken didn't sell as well as Activision wanted because some people, even hardcore fans of destiny decided to move on at the beginning of the year and even the promise of a heap of issues being fixed and more lore, etc wasn't enough to bring them back. Even loyalty has its limits and when those limits have been tested pretty frequently over the last few years by the festival of the cost, the dawning, curse of Osiris, etc, it's really not hard to see why some stuck to their guns and decided, no more.
Activision don't like that they can put the bare minimum into making the game enjoyable and try to maximize profits and that makes players decide to leave and never come back. I thought this may be a wake up call for them but more microtransactions is going backwards. Maybe their plan now is just to squeeze the rest of the life from D2 and force out D3 early just to see if they can keep up the hype and keep us fooled, maybe they... Won't? I dunno anymore.

Blops 4 made $500 mil in three days and Activision was unsatisfied with it. Their satisfaction has zero to do with player count and everything to do with unrealistic and unreasonable profit speculation. If $500 mil on their signature flagship IP is unsatisfactory for Activision, nothing Destiny could bring in at it's best would please the shareholders.

500 in three days? Holy crap on a cracker that's stupid all things considered. Every time I think it may die down a tad because people must FINALLY get tired of spending money on the exact same thing every year when the only real update is every 2 or so, but nope. The promise of overpriced battle Royale brought in that much? Anyway back to the topic at hand, uh yeah... Activision are greedy. In other news, water=wet, space=cold, etc.
