In the December 8th Kotaku article, bungie confirmed there would be no DLC in year 2. Bungie claimed "the pace of development in year 1 was unsustainable". [url=http://kotaku.com/bungie-confirms-that-theyre-not-doing-big-destiny-dlc-t-1746865949][/url] Bullshit. Anything is possible if prioritized, planned for, and resourced properly. Activi$ion and Bungie have simply decided they didn't want to devote the resources required. This is pure spin. They obviously already achieved the development pace required in year 1 , right? (Assuming that the DLC wasn't just cut original content RIGHT? ;) ) They've already demonstrated it can be done, why not do it again? Bungie claims they'd rather have the live team "surprise" players with new "free" content. (Never mind the fact that you must pay $10, half the price of dlc, if you want to keep the rewards.) The whole point of advertising is to get customers excited about what's coming. Why the hell wouldn't bungie and Activision want to try and drum up hype for dlc, to get new customers? The answer is simple. [b]They've already written off Destiny and refuse to devote the resources required. [/b] We got to the moon, in record time, despite being woefully behind the Russians, in 1969, as a result of years of effort; due to the proper prioritization, planning, staffing and allocation of resources, by JFK. This is common sense, from a business perspective. Bungie and Activision are already working on the next project, to come after destiny, leaving a skeleton crew devoted to destiny. At the end of the day, it is a corporation's job to maximize value for the share holders. That's all. Destiny is simply not performing as well as they hoped, due to their own incompetence and bad decisions. This is why all the good employees that made Halo have long since left Bungie. This is why Staten left before launch. Hate on me all you like. I'm simply pointing out what is obvious to those of us in the business community. Edit 1: Ok, so if destiny is not dying, but is instead doing quite well, then explain to me why Bungie would choose NOT to release any DLC for a whole year. The only reasonable explanation would be that they expect to make a profit based solely on sales of TTK and... microtransactions. Wow. If that's the case, the game [i]surely[/i] is heading in the right direction! (Sarcasm) Edit 2: The admission lies in the fact that bungie is not producing any major content updates, via dlc, in year 2. That is bungie's own words in the article, linked above. If the game is not dying, how are they going to attract more customers, and make more profit, with "free" "surprise" events alone? Do you honestly think sparrow racing is going to pull in new players who are also looking at Fallout 4, Star Wars Battlefront, Halo 5, Call of Duty Medal of Honor Generic Shooter Black Ops 2016? Edit 3: Lots of hate, thanks for helping this trend! Edit 4: Evidence the game is dying: 1.) No one on your friends list plays this anymore. 2.) The lfg sites only have about 3,000 players on, during prime time, on a Friday night. Takes much longer to find/build a team. 3.) Matchmaking takes longer and 5v5 crucible matches are common. Why? The system can't find enough compatible players for 6v6. 4.) Tower is empty. 5.) Patrol worlds are empty. 6.) About 800,000 players were tracked yesterday. That's 3% of the 25 million registered users bungie claims. [b]So explain to me how a community at 3% of its total size is not dying.[/b] Either bungie is deliberately being misleading with its numbers or much less people are playing the game, and that number continues to decline. [b]Which is it fan boys?[/b] Edit 5: A good synthetic friend asked why bother posting if the community doesn't want to hear it. My reply: Haha no worries. I like to hold bungie accountable so they know some of us see their bullshit and have the intelligence to call them on it. Not going to lie, there is also a certain amount of satisfaction drawn from the rage it induces in those that encourage the decline of the game industry, i.e. the fan boys that think microtransactions are great. The amazing thing is most of the replies hate my post. This wouldn't even be trending if they weren't all replying, but they can't help themselves lol. It's as if someone having a negative opinion of something they like somehow reflects on them. How immature and insecure.
