Destiny 2 is close to closing

So, given how low the player count has repeatedly been, we shouldn't be surprised. But what is surprising is the mention of "downward revisions." In companies, this can be lowering budgets, lowering time-frames, and even lowering the workforce. So there's a VERY high chance that Destiny 2 as well as Bungie themselves are in their final moments of life. If budgets drop, we may not get changes or additions we want. If time-frames speed up, we'll get more bugs per patch and DLC. If time-frames slow down, we'll have longer periods of no content. If the workforce is reduced, we'll see less content or a smaller scale or worse bugs or some combination of these. Sony sees the poor choices that Bungie has made, and they are not investing further into them. So things will only get more strict from here until this franchise and studio is dead. I've wanted both Bungie and Destiny 2 to get back to greater quality, but now I don't think that's possible and it makes me really sad. So everyone, enjoy what you have left for however longer it may last, because I think that time will feel very short.

    None of it is surprising, lol. That article is a hit piece. And what I'm interested in now... who funds/owns GamePost... who is paying those people? Here's the link to the Q2 transcript: [url]https://www.sony.com/en/SonyInfo/IR/library/presen/er/pdf/25q2_sonyspeech.pdf[/url] Credit: Sony Here's the quotes without mischaracterizing it, [i]"Although performance varies by title, our live service games overall accounted for morethan40% of our first-party software revenue, similar to the previous quarter and are a recurring source of revenue. Regarding Destiny 2, partially due to changes in the competitive environment, the level of sales and user engagement have not reached the expectations we had at the time of the acquisition of Bungie, Inc. (“Bungie”). While we will continue to make improvements, we downwardly revised the business projection for the time being and recorded an impairment loss against a portion of the assets at Bungie".[/i] It's an obvious...redundant and generic analysis of the situation. Nothing suggests what the GamePost said...
