I have glanced at Destiny Tracker every single day for over 2 and a half years now. Usually just go to it quickly while using the bathroom. The reason I do such a thing, is I am enjoying the long-term trends I have been seeing. Yes, there is a rare day where logins hit the highest peak, but I promise you this. For more than 2 and a half years, so this includes before even Forsaken launched, there has been a trend. Before Forsaken, Destiny 2 lost millions upon millions of players, who had enough with Destiny 2 Vanilla issues back then, on top of the individual reasons each player was done with Bungie altogether. Forsaken was an amazing DLC that gave us everything, and Bungie even did everything we been begging for forever, example, shotguns and snipers became no longer heavy weapons needing heavy ammo. But Forsaken didn't really bring that many players back to this game. Come Shadowkeep, logins were at even bigger lows, and Shadowkeep didn't pull of bringing people back. See, looking at Destiny Tracker every sjngle day, Destiny 2 has been steady losing players left and right. You ask about the current state of Destiny, but you are asking the fww players still here. The real answer is since just before Forsaken, players threatening to quit on the forums, barely represent the amount of players who actually have quit and refuse to play this game ever again. - Whether it's Sunsetting. - Trials and PVP being filled with hackers and cheaters. Bungie lying to us. - The content droughts for over 11 months after each DLC, with events being the same as the years before without even at least new rewards. You can pick what issues mean the most to you, since you are the one that gets to say what matters to you as a player, and what issues are not impacting your individual gameplay really. But reality is, Forsaken brought very few people back, Shadowkeep didn't and also didn't stop the massive amounts of players leaving, Beyond Light is hitting records for lowest players even logging in. So the answer is Sinking Ship. The current state of Destiny is Sinking Ship. A sinking ship that Bungie even put Shadowkeep, Beyond Light, and Forsaken free for Xbox Gamepass users, and sorry to break it to you. It was a desperate attempt by Bungie to save this game by making everything completely free, and even after gamepass started hosting all the DLC, the logins didn't jump even one day in the weeks since cause the few people joining this game, are less than the people quitting left and right. Little advice for free from me. I will find you the Activision contract if you want. Bungie had already so much work done on Destiny 3 cause of the strict schedule Activision imposed. Beyond Light has 0 new pvp maps, 1 strikes, and so little content, cause Bungie was actually working on a Destiny 3 many many months back. But Activision in their investors call, called out Bungie infront of all the rich investors and stock holders and news companies listening. Activision called out Bungie for having the worst sales possible, and shamed Bungie for always making people quit this game from bad decisions and issues Bungie creates. Activision humiliated Bungie on the spot, THEN came the Activision Bungie split. I also read the court documents for the split, and Activision said fuq this franchise, Bungie doesn't owe Activision anything anymore, just as long as Activision could get away from their company and not have to publish anymore for a game that doesn't sell enough anymore to be worth publishing. That's why Bungie then randomly said there would be no Destiny 3, and this game is getting Beyond Light and 2 more DLCs. They accepted that they barely even have any players left, and took the loss on their work on D3. Now they are going to just sell us DLCs with barely any content, but at prices almost as much as a sequel costs. They are wanting to milk D2 for a couple more years cause the DLC they make is nothing compared to a new game with new planets, new maps, new strikes, etc. They are hoping to have more players and they put everything free for Xbox even in hopes to get new players. But it's a lost cause, and they know this though they won't tell you it cause they want you to keep buying DLCs still. There is ALWAYS issues that are game breaking or community outraging. Logins on D Tracker for over 2 years proves that not only are people quitting and never coming back, but they tell all their friends how much they hate Destiny and why they hate Bungie, now new players aren't even joining when being thrown all DLCs for free, cause their friends all convinced them never to give this game a chance and play other games. Also, just so you know, Activision and Bungie entered into a 10 year plan. It is technically 7 years into it, and that is why we last minute were told there wouldn't be a D3 and Beyond Light was what's next. Bungie knows that it is no longer capable for Destiny to get a profitable amount of players again. So guess what. The 10 year plan is the end. Cause coming up on year 7 of the franchise, Bungie annouced Beyond Light (8), Witch Queen (9) or whatever and Lightfall (10). It is clearly a truth that them having 3 years more of Destiny 2, a game already 3 years old and SSSSOOOO BORING ALREADY TO SUFFER STRIKES FROM 2017, DESTINATIONS, PVP MAPS, SO MUCH OF THE GAME PLAY IS 2017 CONTENT WE ARE STUCK SUPPOSE TO SOMEHOW ENJOY. It is up to you what you will do with this information of login trends and blah blah blah. You can either choose to ride out anyother 3 pathetic years of DLCs of very little real new content, or you can decide to give up like the 21.4 million tracked players but highest Logins in a day, in over 2 years, is only 1.2 million players. Basic math of those two numbers is a unbelievable 94% of players tracked have quit this game franchise.

Looking at the poll just from the community. IMO this game needs new leadership like really bad. It's like anyone that tried to get this game moving forward it seems right afterwords somone was trying to shut it down or remove what was actually good about the game. Look at the work Barrett did The work Taylor did High Moon and the other studio It seems every time somone else took over after things were good, they were out to ruin it. Edit: I wonder how many actual Bungie employees are voting "yes" 😂

Nope. Been spending the time that I would normally spend on Destiny on other games. Games that are more engaging, games where you actually feel progression, and games that are just plain fun. Thank you, Steam Holiday Sale.

Bungie is currently destroying everything I loved about the Destiny franchise in every possible way.

I just like the game for what it is, even though it has an incredibly large amount of flaws. The thing that I’m really in it for is the guys I play it with as together we can play for hours and hours and not get bored, we can do this for other games but destiny is just the most fun to play together and that’s why we stay.

I’d like to see an other poll asking do people actually play other games. If people were truly honest in this instance, I’d say the vast majority don’t. That’s a problem in my opinion.

I have 6000 hours plus in D1 & D2. It ain't fun any more. When the fun stops move on. Too repetitive, too little to do and the current rinse a repeat artifact grind just ain't fun. I'm not deleting anything and ill probably be back but it's been a good while now since bothered booting it up.
