The game isn't dying, and its unfair to act as if other long-running games don't face (and have to over come) similar problems. Familiarity, Sols, breeds contempt. The longer we look at someone (or something) the more our biological programming takes over and we tend to focus on its problems and what annoys us about it (we are hardwired to attune to problems and potential threats, and dismiss good things). So, over time, we lose perspective as to what are the good traits in someone/something that drew us to them/it. All that is going on is that Bungie made an recent update....and that update has clearly introduced some sort of glitch or bug that is causing problems with P2P connections with extended ping times. ...and it unfortunately happened when Bungie was planning on letting their employees have an extended holiday break. While nothing is gained by ignoring problems. Nothing is gained by trying to turn problems into catastrophes.
