No its not.
People aren't hanging around and complaining....THEY ARE QUITTING AND LEAVING.

During the worst "content droughts" during Destiny 1s history, the game would easily maintain daily PVE player numbers of about 600-650K. It would keep CRUCIBLE player numbers of around 400-450K.

Yet in the middle of NEW Seasonal Event. At the start of a new IRON BANNER week....and on the day AFTER the Weekly Reset....
....this game is barely breaking 450K in PVE....and only 275K in the Crucible. DURING AN IRON BANNER WEEK. When PVE players usually flood into the Crucible and engagement numbers would often go as high as 800K on the PVP side.
This game....this franchise....is in trouble at the moment.

Well, remember... the proof of the pudding will be in what happens next release. Bungie's profits aren't determined by player numbers, but by content purchased.

Very few new customers out there for five year old franchises.....

All too true. We'll see how this ends. If Destiny bites it, well, it's been a great four years and change.
