Different Mentalities. (Destiny)

According to PS4 trophy data, about 80% of Destiny players have never even played a raid. So there's that.

I don't think this is necessarially a good metric for drawing conclusions. I mean, wasn't there a study years ago that said that something like 80% of players didn't finish the single player of their games? I remember it being a reason developers touted as to why they put more focus on the first half of the game than the second half.

Ahah. If that's true, then these developers are idiots.

1. If the players don't finish, then all the effort you put into the beginning didn't work to get them hooked after all. You've failed.
2. These players demonstrate a lack of interest in finishing your game. Why are you trying (and failing, as in point 1) to please the people who don't want to play?
3. The end is JUST AS IMPORTANT AS THE BEGINNING for a satisfying experience.
