Destiny 2 final update, and steam numbers are through the roof. 166k in-game right now and still climbing.

If Bungie really are only working on Marathon and have nothing else for the foreseeable future... What a decision.

Idk man you make it sound like they went Marathon over Destiny because it was either a better game or a better business decision when the initial plan was for Destiny 2 to be alive at least a couple years more in parallel with Marathon but Destiny 2 never stopped bleeding money since acquisition. Marathon just happens to be cheaper to update and maintain and that's clearly the new plan, stop the bleeding.  

It's cool to see the Destiny community putting numbers, that's how you get the attention of the big companies like Sony but where was that support when the game was actually alive? And I understand the blame can't be put only in the players, the ex CEO was responsible of all of this but even then asking for more when they weren't supporting anymore ... 

It's unfortunately pretty simple, there was nothing to be excited about anymore, and the little content that did release was crap.

The Star Wars crossover was a cheap cash grab and it felt like a desperation move in-game. The height of the Final Shape expansion brought new excitement at either a Destiny 3 or a new high-profile story arc to look forward to. Neither of those things happened.

The game has felt like it was on life support since the new plan of how the game would continue was announced. If there's nothing to look forward to, then players won't remain. There's other games to play at that point. Bungie had laid out a 5 year roadmap for Destiny 2 in 2020, and they didn't plan for anything after that.
