Bungie put all their eggs in eSports and failed
I’ve often wondered why, how Bungie massively dropped the ball between D1 and D2
Initially it seemed they wanted to cater to the casual players, dumb down a lot of the complexity of D1 so that new players could fit in
The more I look back and research what’s going on it was nothing to do with hardcore or casual players
Bungie wanted to make D2 a main stream eSport / Twitch game getting huge online hits, popularity based on competitive game play
One of the most important aspects of eSports and gameplay is a level playing field, so each team both have a fair chance of winning, no random rolls, no Ghorn, no crazy exotic that can unbalance the eSports methodology.
This explains why everything is so bland, no God rolls or unbalanced weapons, no power, everyone is equal no matter how much time you put into the game. They wanted to create a level playing field for eSports such as games like Overwatch
But they failed miserably, and we’re now paying the price for this
