Mtashed said in his vid that the devs wanted to know how to fix the game and bring players back and keep them. Why don't they just -blam!-ing get some advice from Blizzard? You know, the same company that is tied to Activision and created World of Warcraft.
The same company that has no experience in a FPS besides an arena shooter? Yeah, Bungie should totally ask them... Not to mention, Blizzard had companies helping Bungie with D2.
Pride.
....and I believe there was a faction that wanted Destiny to be a shooter and not an RPG. That wanted pvp success and not pve.
They got control of Destiny 2, only to realize that the game they wanted to make wasn’t the game we wanted to play.
Chris Barrett, OTOH, clearly wants this game to be
an RPG... and he’s back in control with his Live Team.
