CNBC is calling it...
I like this game for the record. Unfortunately, it's not in a good place due to the microtransactions and other controversies. I will continue to play it and I hope it can make a comeback, but I'm not super optimistic.

54 RepliesThis was the only inevitable outcome with the way Bungie/Activi$ion mis-managed this game/franchise. It really was only a matter of time. You don't get to shit all over your customers, lose 90% of your player base in under five (5) months in an industry where player retention is the key factor; and still get to keep the lights on indefinitely. It was only a matter of time before it started affecting Activi$ion stock prices, and once those start taking a hit, Activi$ion investors and market trading specialists start red-flagging your stocks; before the very same investors start telling them to pull the plug. Bungie/Activi$ion have only themselves to blame for this astounding failure.

3 RepliesHahaha. And did you read the article by Paul Tassi that totally calls out the analyst who made that prediction? [url]https://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2018/01/24/a-warning-about-the-notion-that-destiny-2-will-drag-down-activision-in-2018/#5cb085d61832[/url]

4 RepliesThe article mentions “neutered endgame content compared to D1,” and that’s a typical buzz word here as well. For better or worse, vanilla D1 and D2 endgame activities are identical to me. Can someone elaborate? The only difference I could see is a lack of the mind-numbing grind for specific weapon rolls, which I don’t consider endgame “content” because it just artificially extends the grind.

I am hoping that the fan-backlash one-two punch over Battlefront and Destiny’s microtransactions are a “shot heard around the world” for publishers of what they can do to generate post go-live revenue and what they can’t.

3 RepliesEdited by Gomly1980: 1/25/2018 7:14:01 PMMicrotransactions are the least of this games problems. In fact, I think Eververse is the only thing that's working as intended. 2 lacking events, player retention in the gutter, mismanagement, dumbed down content, boring DLC, PvP can hardly keep people going and masterwork weapons were a disappointment. I can't blame things being added to Eververse as causing the problems because Bungie has hundreds of employee's, they all have different jobs. The problem, as my old Corporal used to say in a different context, is shit rolls downhill. His meanign was if he gets grief for shit we did then by -blam!- is he gonna give us grief twice as bad. In this meaning it's literal shit. The shit is gathered at the top, rolled into a nice ball and rolled down the chain of command until it lands on a devs desk and he looks at that shit and realises what he's got to work with. Considering the amount of shit rolling down that hill i'm surprised the game turns on.

2 RepliesEdited by Springer: 1/25/2018 1:20:50 PM3 months ago CNBC called it also, but this time it had nothing to do with Bungie. And guess what? ATVI stock has increased over 15%, $61 roughly on 10/10/2017 to over $70 close yesterday 1/24/2018, despite all the downgrades and negative press. https://www.cnbc.com/2017/10/09/analyst-downgrades-activision-on-risk-overwatch-esports-will-disappoint.html Do I think Bungie and the Destiny franchise are in a healthy spot? My guess is no, mainly due to growing negative press, dwindling player population, and the optics that Bungie STILL has her head in the sand. ATVI is healthy as a Derby thoroughbred. Very few companies have enough cash on hand to pay 100% of its' debt off overnight.

2 RepliesWould it be wrong to say some ppl should get fired, not entry level guys to make a statement, the guys that made these decisions...... Removing strikes from the story Removing customizable skill trees Removing random rolls Removing the need to unlock weapon nodes Maybe it's just me, but those four things are a big problem.....

6 RepliesOops, cnbc said so... I better stop playing now. I'm encouraged Bungie even wants to improve the game! Destiny2 may be in "a bad way" but it's a h u g e success. It's done what it had to. Moved units. That's, well, in the immortal words of Luke Skywalker, "more money than you can imagine!" Couple that with a fickle spineless community who'd rather moan than have fun... A community that apparently would rather watch the game than play... I am happy Bungie hasn't just took their ball and gone home. Yes, Bungie f'd me over a pike with D2... Lubeless But this community is more about empty posturing than anything else! You're spiting yourself Destiny fans. It's pretty funny to watch.
