Coming up 45% short on expected revenue has a lot more to do with not getting and keeping new players, as well as holding onto veteran players than actual fun. These problems have been building for years and Bungie’s halfassed approach to the game made people stop buying new content and stop buying flare. It all goes back to dismantling the story of D1 due to it being too linear. Well, it’s all over the place just like how they wanted it. The story has progressed so much, and so much has been cut and removed, that new players have no idea wtf is going on. Does that sound like a fun game to play? No… maybe… they could hook people in with something like Trials? Well, they ruined matchmaking, they got rid of freelance, got rid of the flawless pool too. Now someone playing their first match of the week on a Sunday afternoon can be matched with a team of people who have already gone flawless. It happened to me last week. My teams had no chance in any match I played. Didn’t even bother trying this week. My Dad played this game religiously for years but says he will not ever play again until there are far more match made activities and that’s another big problem, locking people out of content because they don’t like LFG. It’s idiotic to expect any and every person who first starts playing this game to use a phone app so they do a legendary activity or even just a legend nightfall. Now if you move into the biggest problem - “The State of the Game” where Bungie just basically told us the money we spend on Destiny doesn’t go to Destiny. They basically said they have other games and use Destiny funding to develop those games - that correlates directly with their previous statements on purposely under delivering on content - that they do this intentionally to keep expectations down is utter BS and I think the root cause of all this. Little events like you speak of will not make anyone forget how scandalous this company has become.
