Lost Sols, I believe that what you fail to see is that a lot of Destiny players are playing Destiny far more casually than you seem to do, and have a far less demanding attitude towards it. For them, it's not that one game with awesome potential they want to see living up to that potential. It's one game among many for them. I just need to look at my son. He is playing Fallout 4, Ark Evolved, Armored Warfare, Star Wars Battlefront, Minecraft, and in between a bit Destiny. The world doesn't end for him because Destiny is not what people were made to believe it would be (yes, in my book, Destiny players were lied to by Bungie on a regular base). The people visiting these forums are a microscopically small fraction of the people playing (or having played) Destiny. That is true for every other game, too. Most people do not care enough, or do not notice the flaws of a game enough, to be bothered trying to change something about it. Destiny is not the only game with a promising formula that is never being brought to its full potential. I know more of these. Yet people keep purchasing and playing them, and aren't very disappointed if a game is, well, disappointing. They move on. That's what people telling you to move on because it's only a game are trying to tell you. They are also asking you whether there is so little besides Destiny that makes your life worthwile that you need to fight so hard for Destiny to become what you desire it to be. You should evaluate your position towards Destiny and ask yourself what is making you fight so passionately for the changes you would like to see being made to it, instead of moving on to greener (or at least different) pastures. A part of the answer may lie in the way Destiny has been built to exploit and manipulate the human brain's reward system. The only way to break out of the habit and desires that has been causing is to deliberately put Destiny aside and keep your mind occupied with other things until you have learned to enjoy these again and are not craving for your daily dose of Destiny's skinner box reward system anymore. Back to numbers. Bungie is seeing the millions of players playing, or having played Destiny, and the revenue that has brought them. The few people complaining in the forums are only a drop in that ocean. They do not need to care about them. Even if their behavior is objectively immoral, they can afford to go on with it, and believe me: There are many, many people in the business world who act exactly like that with great success.
