This video describes exactly what's wrong with the Destiny development.

You might know him, it's a video by Asmongold, a big WoW content creator, who goes on a rant about Blizzards priorities, timegating, wasting players time, only catering to the vocal minority (content creators and absolute hardcore players) when it comes to life support and content production. This video about WoW literally directly translates to whats wrong with the Destiny development right now and it was scary how blatant the similarities of both games are when it comes to the terrible content structure. We just don't have a single community representative who actually tells the truth about the games state because they either quit and play something else or entirely depend on Destiny as their main source of income and do not tell the truth about how bad the game really is right now because they can't afford to do so. This guy is 50 times bigger than the biggest Destiny content creator and can afford to tell the truth about whats going on. And it's sad.

  • I haven't watched it yet but the premise is true: that many of the exploitative practices are game-industry standard. I come from a time when there were no microtransactions. No lootboxes. There was no deliberately penalizing soloplaying to push your friends into playing just so you can even complete basic things. There was no heavy leaning towards addiction via variable rewards. There was no catering to popular streamer's needs directly over customer's needs in order to promote a game. There was no deliberately omitting basic instructions so as to promote YouTube guides to an unprecedented extreme. People may not be aware or forget these are all contemporary exploitative game industry practices that one day, hopefully, will be seen for the endemic outdated manipulation norms that they really are right now.
