Destiny 2 Fans Are Fed Up With The Way Bungie Is Handling The Game

Bungie's recent State of the Game update for Destiny 2 has enraged fans due to the lack of PvP content, ritual armors, and the death of Gambit.

We don't like it bu hu... but still are paying their battlepass. People are idiots. Stop playing the game.

[Sonic1881]

The same goes for a lot of other games 😂

[xHeavYx]

Can you make a more generic, dumber comment? Tons of people are leaving the game, even the hardcore Destiny streamers are moving on to different games. The number of players actually playing the game have been declining month after month as well.

Fans have been bitching about how Bungie has handled the game for years. Stuff like scaling back the XP earned after you kill so many of the same thing in a row or in a certain area. Now people are leaving in droves?

[-Foxtrot]

The issue is Bungie will just float a shiny new Destiny 3 in front of their faces and they’ll be back.

[xHeavYx]

@dumahim Most people are now leaving because they realized that Bungie doesn't care about Destiny anymore and are moving all resources to their new game. Like it happened to me, it took longer for some people to realize that the Destiny franchise was dying, but now it's pretty obvious.

@-Foxtrot I don't think there's going to be a Destiny 3 at all, unless it's a mobile game or a low budget project.

[specialguest]

I agree. Stop playing the game. Stop giving them your money. Video games aren't a necessity to live. It's not like this is the only game or video game company out there

[Seraphim]

this is just part of the cycle. The last time it was sun-setting, and vaulting. Before that it was something or the other, but I don't remember. I quit playing when they vaulted/sunset which was an excuse to just remove myself from that game finally. The point is, Bungie has consistently f'd up, fans have consistently been t'd off about something or another. This was simply long overdo and part of the Destiny/Bungie cycle.

[FPS_D3TH]

Me but two years ago. Stopped playing and glad I did. Too many better games than being price gouged to s#it for something that inevitably gets removed, nerfed or becomes irrelevant

[gleepot]

thats weird, I'm fed up with the way the destiny 2 community handles themselves, and their treatment of bungie employees

by far the most toxic community ive ever seen, and each one of them are absolutely miserable human beings

[DeusFever]

Destiny players, aka Guardians, have been fed with Bungie since Destiny launched in 2014. Back then, headlines weren’t as click-baity as they are now, so we didn’t talk about “enraged fans”. But believe me when I tell you that the vast majority of conversation about Destiny was about how Bungie was mismanaging the game. Bungie built this community on cognitive dissonance and Stockholm Syndrome. Sometimes I think about getting back into Destiny but then I see something like “ritual armors” and I’m glad I’m out.

[dumahim]

Is this a repeat?

[Markdn]

I'm. Enjoying it, have always liked it, some people just don't know. How to adapt, if it stayed the same it be lack of verity if they change things up they breaking what works, can't win with some folks

Destiny 2 is number 4 out of 140 tracked MMO games

Averaging 420k players daily this month.

Only wow, diablo 4 and ff14 beat it and your all on here saying its dying, get a grip girls.

[Gameseeker_Frampt]

That is a very manipulative number and definition of what Destiny 2 and MMOs are. Destiny 2 isn't really an MMO and it is routinely crushed on Steam Charts by other online shooters - usually barely making it into the top 20 with only 45K average concurrent players. You are also using an average number that is generated by amount of Reddit users but then discount anyone posting online about how they are dissatisfied with the game. Finally, the website you are using lists Destiny 2 as #9 most played MMO so how exactly is it "only wow, diablo 4, and ff14 beat it?" I did notice that you conveniently left out the stat that the same website lists Destiny #90 in Growing MMOs.

[Markdn]

But still on the growing list so you just proved a point didn't you, not dwindling at all but still getting bigger. Are you another PC gamer who believes the world is only concerned with steam numbers.? I know it's hard to believe but there are other platforms out there.

[Gameseeker_Frampt]

Actually, #90 on the growth chart is just above the declining point. Again, the numbers are not actual player numbers but calculated by Reddit posts. Any player who quits Destiny 2 over the recent State of the Game but comments on it is still calculated as a Destiny 2 player at MMO Populations.

From the website where you get your facts from - "Of course the data is not extremely accurate, or in many cases, accurate at all. There is no way of really getting MMO subscriber numbers today. If you need accurate numbers you will have to look for publicly released data, use steam users, or whatever method is available." If you are so offended by Steam numbers because they don't fit your narrative, feel free to list a different official source of player numbers. Your current source actually tells people to use steam users if they want accurate numbers.

"Get a grip girls"

Ahh, sexism on N4G, gotta love it.

[Inverno]

That's all I ever hear about this game, since the first. People pissed about the game, then hyped for dlc, they buy the dlc, ends up being mostly copy/pasted, and people are back to being pissed. Then the excuse is that "it plays solid" and "it's fun with friends. Dood every first person shooter I've played essentially plays the same, and every game is fun with friends, just move onto something better.

[Sniperwithacause]

Even live service games have to have an expiration date right? How long can you keep all the eggs in one basket?

[Ready4nxtgen]

Why are yall still playing that garbage? It serves you right if your still playin?

[SPEAKxTHExTRUTH]

I’m what you would consider a hardcore Destiny player. I own all expansions for the series I get every Exotic for my class I do every raid on day on (usually) and I own all seasons. I pretty much stopped playing Destiny at this point. I only jumped back on this season to get the Strand Exotic Scout Rifle and that’s about it. Taking away content that I paid for never sat right with me but I kept playing because I loved the franchise at one point. As far as I’m concerned D2 is now dead to me. I might play the legacy raid that’s coming next season but outside of that this game has become a joke.

[DefenderOfDoom2]

I really like playing Gambit , so I hope they can add something to it . Other than that , I will not be playing Destiny 2 until the next big DLC releases.

[Ra3030]

Destiny 2 player counts are in the top 20 of most played games on Steam, Xbox and Playstation. To me this seem like forced, fake outrage by someone who has a axe to grind or is being paid by someone to paint a picture that's just not true. The game is fine it will continue to be that way. Now even if it is was all true the problem is not so much with the game the problem is with the self entitled gamers who think the know everything and everyone owes them something and this makes it gaming biggest problem.

[anast]

I jumped in for a few hours the other day and it's microtransaction hell. I understand it's kind of F2P, but it's getting out of control. The best things to do is not to reward unwanted behavior by giving them money. It's basic stuff there are only three options reward, ignore, and punish. Choose one and understand the effects.

[lellkay]

Destiny has always been so mishandled.

[BlackDoomAx]

What year is it?
