, Destiny 2 has struggled to keep players in the game. With DLC launches and no real interest in the raids, and doing the same strikes over and over to grind for the loot, some people just got bored. Is there really anything that can save this franchise?
PlayStation has scaled back expectations for Bungie after reassessing Destiny 2 development costs, highlighting the risks tied to live-service games.
Honestly Thank Goodness!! Yet another good sign of a possibility of returning to what made them great and undoing Jim Tyans trend chasing love service gamble. Still gotta wait and see just what direction they're going but this is a good sign in my book that they're not betting it all on live service anymore
Not sure what you lot are talking about anymore. They need to cover all range of games. Im primarily a single player gamer, but even I cannot be daft enough to ignore the fact that we need all manner of games including live service games. Everyone here seems to be a market expert.
Yes "all manner" not just exclusively live service like Jim was doing, but you also shouldn't be forcing devs to make games they not only have no experience making, but also flatout dont want to do.
Assuming that anything like that is actually the case and not just a perception of n4g commenters of course.

I don't understand why you people have to keep making up lies. You can say you don't like some or most of their focus being on live service games, but to say they were exclusively focusing on live service games is pure copium. At most half of their games were live service and the rest were single player games. Seriously why lie about something so obvious?
@Redemption-64
You say that as if we don't have word directly from Jim Ryan and PlayStation stating they wanted at least 12 live service games released within a year. Followed by tons of official word of those Live Service games being cancelled after he was pushed out. All studios combined at the time PS had 15 studios, 12 is a hell of a lot more than half of 15, and it was definitely their primary focus evident by the fact that a huge portion of their studios have taken uncharacteristically long to release or announce anything since, hell some studios have yet to release anything this gen almost 6 YEARS LATER! The only one making stuff up is you.
It may take a while but maybe they are finally learning. Good! Now stop with the live service crap.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with a live service here or there, but to have many of your studios start focusing on it when there has been little to no experience among them was wild.
They say this and then immediately release news of the Horizons co-op game that will definitely be a Live Service game.
I feel like they knew that given the fact that the very furst thing they say in the trailer is to reassure they still make so games 😆

They will not. Destiny has been popular for over 10 years, something most games can never hope to achieve. Most people, including myself those Bungie was going to make a D3 after the final shape DLC. Marathon looks to be a hit and a D3 announcement could break records.
Patch notes for Update 9.5.0.5, the one about Equilibrium fixes and more, are now available.
A new survey shows Destiny 2 is considering adding Sparrow Racing League, unvaulted campaigns, NPC sidekicks, new PvP and Gambit modes, and much more.
Nope it will crash and burn.
Access to said "salvation" will cost players even more $$$ on top of the season pass they already bought. It's like dumping more and more money into a car that just keeps breaking down. Time to move on.
It'd save itself if the such called "expansions" where more than just a couple of hours of content and extra grind to get the "late game" loot were FREE! Right now the 3 so called "expansions" are more expensive than the base game at launch.
As a hardcore Destiny fan from the first game's Alpha, I'm sorry to say that I've completely lost interest in playing anymore. The first game had magic and mystery to it, Destiny 2 has nothing to keep me engaged in it's universe. I dare to say it, but to me the game is just boring. I don't know about you guys, but I'm hoping that Anthem is the Destiny 2 that I was looking for because that's where I'm off to now. Goodbye Destiny, you're not the same friend that I once knew...
I had more fun with the Destiny 1. Destiny 2 is just ok,I just finished Curse of Osiris which was boring,now I'm starting Warmind.
