Guest SayNoToRage and the Fireteam Chat crew discuss the lack of engagement during Destiny 2's Season of Dawn and why the most hardcore players seem to be playing less than ever before.
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.
Bungee captured lightning in a bottle with Halo. Since then they've shown they are a overhyped dev team.
I'm disappointed by the season passes. The rewards are not that great. I still love playing with friends and doing the Raids but the solo content is just waaaaay to grindy. Some catalysts are like 200-400 strikes or similar activities. That's harsh. Because of all the whining the community did, they cranked up the grind-o-meter to the max. Recycling the moon was a slap in the face. The power system is garbage. The armor overhaul is trash. The new exotics are rubbish. It's sad when the community is happy from recycled exotics from D1.
I already know why. For me, it's because they don't want you to have fun. They constantly nerf what they consider "over powerful" weapons and abilities. They change, or sometimes, take away whole perks from weapons after years of being used to it working a certain way. They introduce currency on top of currency for you to have to grind. If you complain that it's too much, they either don't listen or they lower the one you're complaining about, but introduce a new one to take its place which makes it pointless. It's like they don't want their players to feel powerful and have fun. That's why I uninstalled about a year ago. It's sad because the foundation for a great game is there.
A lot of good points but when it comes to PvP, I am not a fan of weapons having a noticeable advantage over others. It's boring and unfair.
It actually sounds like Destiny 2 is very similar to World of Warcraft, where WoW no longer truly rewards the deeply hardcore players. It's still a great game, it's just being hardcore doesn't matter.
