Destiny 2 is dead: "active development" ends next month after one final update, but Bungie says the MMO will still be "playable"

  This is the game I put more time on my entire life. I ditched it back in 2022-2023. Greedy ruin everyone’s lives, that’s all I can say.

  Thank goodness they didn’t over deliver.

      Destiny was the tits though. I didnt play much of 2 because life got in the way, but the core gameplay was satisfying and silky-smooth.

      God forbid a gamer enjoy playing a video game and hope a studio learns from their mistakes.

    I suspect chicken and egg is reversed in a lot of comments like this. Did popularity fall because they increased monetization? Or did they increase monetization because popularity fell and live services are expensive beasts? Gotta say, I expect it’s the latter, especially since we know Bungie wasn’t doing so hot when Sony bought them.

      All you have to do is look at Warframe. Bungie had metric tons more money to work with than DE did during their early life. Warframe is better than D2 in almost every way.

      I think whoever was driving the core development decisions at Bungie was actively hindering the success of the game, whether intentionally or not.

    As opposed to what?

    I don’t think a game like this is supposed to last, and be developed, forever.

      That’s cool, I enjoyed the game, but got frustrated with how shitty Bungie was with their refusal to learn from past mistakes. I wish this game lasted for much longer, but their pattern of repeating the same mistakes and releasing more mediocre DLCs than good ones drove me away.

      Warframe has shown it is possible to exist for a long time, continuously drop quality content, and have a fantastic relationship and collaboration with their community.

      Enshittification begins when the profits become a higher focus than the product.

  I have played a lot of Destiny 2, I really enjoyed Final Shape and just after but the portal was the beginning of the end. It killed the flow and the scale of the game in one go.

  I’ll probably jump in for some of the changes and to slaughter a few teams in Gambit one more time but I doubt I’ll play much at all after that.
