This isn't true lol. They wanted it to be an e sport, so Bungie put plenty of time and resources into gambit, trying to increase the engagement. They used to update it regularly, even started balancing the game around it (gambit was the death of many heavy weapons), etc. It was the community that ignored it no matter what, mainly because of invading. A good portion of the community dislikes the pvp aspect of it, hence why bungie kept nerfing it in every update, trying to appease the complainers. And no matter what they did, the community still ignored it. That's why I have no issue with what was said in the state of the game. I'm actually happy they finally mentioned gambit after not saying the word for over 2 years lol. At least now, as a gambit fan, I know not to hold out hope waiting and wanting them to show it love. Also, with the new direction, it means a couple of things that I find will better the mode. 1. They won't keep making changes, aka nerfing mechanics/weapons, trying to get people to play it. 2. I should get better matches and teammates because the majority of people in there will be there cause they want to.
