Honestly, I’m pretty sure that D3 will be Bungie’s last Destiny game—if they even make it that far.

Yeah... wanna make a bet? ;)

I’ll bet all 3 of Raga’s characters that we’ll get Destiny 3 a year later than expected (due to a mid-development reboot, precipitated by player reaction to forsaken), followed by a major expansion 1 year later which fixes most of the problems with D3 ;p

Now there's something I wouldn't bet against!

All you people betting my characters just have a profound (and worrying) lack of confidence in your own positions. Come on, take a real stand. Be sure you are right. Own your occasional mistakes! Live a little..

...or don’t.

But, as Mirage said:

Next time you gamble, bet your own Guardian.

My money is on Activision using their option to pull out of the contract with Bungie (which they can do now that Forsaken is out). Bungie will sell or license the Destiny IP, and another studio will continue making Destiny games (perhaps even VV or High Moon). Bungie then moves forward with whatever they are going to make with the Netease money.

Well, it'll be years and years before we see any definitive results—and it's not like I have anything to bet, really...but I feel confident in my hunch. I'm skeptical that a 3rd game will be made, but I'm certain if it is, it'll be the last game in that series.

*Expansions that are as big as the game don't count. I'm looking at you, Taken King! Anything that requires the base game is off limits. ;-)

My response was focused on the "if they make it that far".

D3 may be the last game, but probably not because of financial/critical success or failure. But because they as a studio have shown that they don't ever want to get stuck doing the same thing forever. We KNOW that Jason Jones is thinking about the next project. We KNOW Bungie has funding for their next project. And they may decide to only make D2 expansions for the future (I doubt it, but its possible), does that mean your hunch is correct? Or Does 4 years of quality expansions mean you're wrong? The argument is vague enough to easily defend it no matter what happens.
