    Destiny 2 must be absolutely amazing for people to still play it. It seems like every few months there’s another change that completely ruins the game for a huge chunk of the playerbase. Its user review score looks like a seismograph reading.

      I played D2 religiously for years. Definitely have 2k hours across multiple platforms.

      The crash that game had in 2023 with the Lightfall expansion destroyed it. The prior expansion was peak, and it really felt like they took all that goodwill and shat on it.

      There’s a ton of other stuff at Bungie that went wrong and contributed, but Lightfall is the easiest thing to point to. The missed revenue projections from that release started a chain of bad decisions that really crippled the game.

      Even though Final Shape was amazing and reviewed very well, they couldn’t come back from the 2023 shit storm. Especially when new and better games became available to play.
