They aren't the sole problem but they definitely attributed to the problem. Bungie are the biggest issue because they are f'ing up the game and taking feedback from those content creators that care for nothing more than crap to pad out their channels with. Currently the game is in the perfect state for these content creators yet they are now dropping all their doom posts and goodbye videos, why? Because the average player has been alienated and they no longer care to play the game or watch their worthless slop. Content creators wanted more grind they got it. Now no-one is playing because levelling takes too long and is too frustrating to do. Content creators wanted the game to be harder. Now we got a difficulty with modifiers that make one of the main plot points of Destiny being that you can revive moot, while also having another modifier that puts you on a time limit. You are also now constantly under-level making your level progression nothing more than a waste of time. Content creators wanted raids to be harder. Now we got harder more complex raids than Root and the completions are incredibly low and the average raider has been alienated and has stopped playing entirely that LFG is a ghost town. Not even going to touch on PvP and GernaderJake crying that he isn't doing Trials anymore because the reality is that he wanted noobs to stomp for his flawless stream carries and now that the mode is dead and all that is left is actual good players he is throwing a fit because he has to actually try. They were all nothing more than parasites. Honestly the person at Bungie who decided to spend all that dev time reworking systems instead of improving what they already had should be fired and blacklisted from the entire industry because that was a monumental F up.
