Out of the loop. Why is Destiny 2 sinking? Didn't the game use to print money? Did the money not get reinvested back into the live service (like how FFXIV funds get vacuumed away to prop up the rest of Square Enix), or did Bungie make some bad artistic choices, or what?
Game had its big final several years in the waiting boss show up and its storyline basically ended. Now it feels more like we're doing post game sidequest stuff.
Also theres various reports of bungie firings and d2 being in maintenance mode while they try to push out a tarkov knockoff
Thanks. That sounds remarkably like the same slump FFXIV is currently in, actually. You'd think professional writers would be able to see this problem coming a long way away, and find a way to pivot smoothly to the next storyline. Especially with so much $$ at stake in a live service game.
