I'm not so sure that Bungo's as worried as everybody wants to believe. A 50% drop off in sales and a loss of over two million players would be catastrophic to most games, but Destiny 2's scummy and manipulative game design will more than likely ensure that they land in the black. I'm not defending Bungo here by any means, I'm just being realistic.
Despite lower sales than the first game, Destiny 2, unfortunately, still managed to sell quite a lot of units. Couple this with the myriad of players who've undoubtedly purchased microtransactions—and will continue to purchase microtransactions—and the fact that they know that everybody will return for the subsequent DLC releases, and you'll find that Bungo's not worried. They're [b]f[/b]ucking laughing. They've found a way to get people to buy a low cost, low quality, totally sub par product, and all of its stripped away content at a higher price than a full price game.

I do think it's doing better than the numbers suggest. But I also think Bungie is worried. If they don't fix it, why would we buy Destiny 3? Or the expansion? They've completely lost our trust at this point, that should worry them. This release can survive on microtransactions at this point, but the next one will need sales too. Will you buy the next one? I know I won't.

I quit Destiny back when TTK was in vogue. I wasn't even going to buy this one, but of course my friends eventually talked me into it. Now they've all abandoned the game anyway. So I probably won't be getting the third game unless something miraculous happens like Bungie actually delivering on what they promised in 2013.

And then also have the people you're ripping off protect you for it
