[quote]I wonder if anyone stops and asks themselves whether bungie has data to support what they do? [/quote] They do to a degree. They can monitor a lot of things but here’s the issue. It takes them sooo long to get content together that they have no time to gauge how well it’s received while trying to add to it. The season pass was sold with Forsaken. They already knew they were gonna have a whole season based around the mode BEFORE their consumers even had a chance to play it. What’s worse is they advertised it before people even played it. So now they have a mess of a mode that they thought was gonna b amazing and already dedicated themselves to expanding on it

I believe this to be true

Well seeing as the actually data shows gambit as being the second least played gametype of the game, I am going to guess they don't listen to either the community or actual data. If they did, they would quickly realize that the community in general isn't going to care for a DLC all about gambit, and since comp is the least played gametype they would also have realized that mixing comp with gambit is likely to be even less popular.

The daily decline in numbers of folks griping or not says volume.
