[i]"because there were 30 raids in vanilla WoW. "[/i]
Guess I missed a super majority of the vanilla WoW content then.
[i]"We are nearly halfway through the 10 year contract... what will save Destiny from extinction?"[/i]
Activision will.
When they: 1) Look past DLC 2 sales numbers. 2) Figure out D2 rode D1's coattails & expectations into its high sales figures during 2017. 3) Watch Eververse revenue continue to dwindle, which is nearly a 100% correlation to the player base free fall. 4) Understand that as of the current trends/indicators/facts, only a fool would buy D3. If Bungie thinks they're going to hoodwink people again, as they did in September 2017, its going to be a better show than what we are currently watching.
Eventually these huge losses associated with the IP will allow Activision to legally absorb it. Then they could spin it off to....Blizzard. Which has the best chance of saving this franchise as a developer.

someone above commented on the raids in WaW. I had never played WaW before but i had heard it was chalk full of raids and decided to find out how many were in vanilla. I had found a spreadsheet about it and I believe I either interpreted the data wrong or the labels were wrong. Regardless, thank you for your feedback!

I think the downfall really begins on 5/3/2018. That is when Activision is having their 1Q 2018 public earnings release/call. I think the movement has already started. Since there was no DLC for the 1Q the only income from this IP was ongoing game sales and MTX. Given how fast this "summit" was organized AFTER April 1 I think the money people are getting restless as ATVI already knows what the 1Q numbers looked like for Destiny 2/Bungie.
