They deleted content I paid for. I couldn’t be happier to see Bungie collapse.
The Bungie I knew and loved died when they got rid of Marty, and later Joe Staten.
Suck on eggs, Jason Jones.
I used to hang out and chill on Titan whenever I was bored. Suddenly Bungie removed pretty much every content I ever purchased for the game including the god damn moon Titan. All the campaigns for base game and three DLCs I paid for were just gone. To add insult to injury they level capped the pinnacle gun I got from doing a PVP mission. Clearly Bungie doesn’t give a shit about money and time I spent on the game so I bailed. I uninstalled the game and moved on four years ago.
Damn thats a depressing read. Why isnt this shit illegal?
They also deleted all my progress at some point because apparently I forgot to do some kind of transfer back when they merged with Blizzard or something. Maybe that’s partially my fault but I could never recall that I was informed to do so, and I hadn’t played in a long time.
I tried to get back into the game a while ago, but the story is such an incredible mess and hardly makes any sense being thrown from one place to another with very little information, as a new or returning player you’d have no clue where to go and what to do and what is actual new and relevant content and not. It’s incredibly difficult to get a grasp of the game if you haven’t been keeping up.
Same happened to me. I didn’t really have a lot of progress to begin with, was still kinda dumb.
Probably because it makes a ton of money. The opinions of people who post online represent a small fraction of people who play games.
And most of those people keep playing anyway lol

Review: I spent over $500 worth of DLC on this game but I hate it! They never implemented the features community asked for.
Devs: And we love you for that!
This is very true. I play less than I used to but I’m still in a very active clan and I still drop money occasionally hun pretty things from the store or DLC items
Destiny definitely isn’t in its greatest state right now (and honestly, hasn’t been in a while).
The answer to why they haven’t “ended it yet” is: Because it still makes them money.
Realistically though, if you look at any big discussion for a game you’ll always find people who dislike it (because they tend to be louder than the people who are spending their time playing the game instead).
I used to really like this game. The gunplay and art direction are spectacular, although I got bored of the enemies. I stopped playing a while before they deleted whole planets and questlines, and haven’t felt an urge to go back. Shame, because nothing else quite scratches that itch.
The latest expansion genuinely did shake up the enemies. They still need to … change something. It seems like maybe they will with the next expansion changing how they present the story. We shall see.
I stopped playing when they gutted the game, best decision ever.
Because those same people who complain about it will go home, sit down, fire up Destiny 2 and spend $20 on a fucking cape or some shit. Because people lack self-respect.
That’s why I only waste my money on Warframe

I honestly tried to get back into it with an old account. Apparently, the entire world went up in power level with no exceptions, but not my character - meaning there was literally not a single enemy I could kill across the PVE environment to gain better gear/levels to contend with enemies.
I did not feel like making a new character or redoing the tutorial so I decided to not even bother, taking it as a sign the game was poorly thought out.
I’m a bit surprised nobody mentioned the kernel-level anti-cheat, especially with Lemmy being a very security/privacy-centric place. That was implemented years after people spent money on the game and then basically stole the game/content unless you agreed to a huge change to the policy.
I stopped playing because they implemented that. There’s zero reason for that to ever be a thing in order to just play a game. Especially with the amount of machine-learning we have on what is and isn’t possible for humans to do, detection is completely possible server-side.
I appreciate the shout out to Guild Wars there. Aside from the opaque learning curve it’s one of the most player friendly live service games going.
I mean, Destiny is falling apart right now, give it another year or so.
I still play, I can see me running out of desire to play as much with the changes to the way new content is delivered.
Unless something changes soon for the better I can’t see the game staying afloat for more than the next couple of years. Which is a real shame.
