Datto is a jaded elitist, who clearly doesn't enjoy Destiny anymore....and who doesn't remotely speak for the community. While he is a talented theory-crafter and build analyst...he is the LAST person I'd turn to for game design advice. Literally....the last person...if I wanted to actually make MONEY with that game. 1. Datto comes from a back ground in World of Warcraft. In the early days of his YouTube Channel, he was pretty open and self-aware that his aspiration for this game was for it to become World-of-Warcraft-with-Guns. A brutally difficult, super-hardcore, mega-grindy RPG. (One of the nicknames for WoW is "The Addiction Simulator"....in reference to how much of your life it will consume trying to play it). 2. The Division 1 tried to be that game in its first year...and it was a DISASTER. The game lost 98%% of its player base by 6 months post launch...and the devs were openly at-war with the player base, lecturing them about their "design goals" despite feedback that was rattling the walls about how much the community hated the state the game was in, and how the game wasn't even remotely fun to play. At the last minute the devs-----Massive Entertainment----finally got their heads out of their asses. Retuned the game for a more average player base....and saved the franchise. 3. Datto is also an outlier in terms of skill level. One of the things he used to do with his channel was self-imposed raid challenges Where he'd try to---and usually succeed---clearing various Destiny raids with these really bizzare, off-meta, and dreadfully underpowered loadouts. 4. Datto used to care enough about the game that he'd keep his content preferences to himself. Realizing that if he got what he wanted....they'd wind up with a game that no one else would want to play. But something seems to have happened, and he just doesn't seem to care anymore. He's cynical to the point of near-toxicity....and derives very little pleasure from the game. TLDR: Datto sounds like he's got a horrible case of burnout, and needs to take a break. But probably isn't in a position to do so because this is how he earns his living. The last content creator that I saw get like this was BBK Dragoon (Destiny The Show podcast). By the end he was so toxic that I could barely stand to listen to him talk about the game. But he eventually realized that he needed to change....he quit covering (and playing) Destiny and moved on to other games. Although I don't watch his content much anymore, he seems happier....and the choking cloud of negativity that used to surround him and his work seems to be gone.
