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.

Sony is eyeing the release of marathon before the end of the financial year in April 2026. All hands to the pump to save the studio, means some tough choices, and their only cash cow is Destiny 2 left on life support. People only tread water so long before they go, and once you put Destiny down, its hard to pick back up again The game had potential, but at some point that potential has to be shown. i used to joke about the only thing that would kill Destiny is Destiny itself. Sounds like this has come to pass
