Destiny's sales are weak; more Microtransactions on the way. (Destiny)

I don't know if I have much to add that hasn't already been said. I do worry that the cause/effect situation here will be misinterpreted by higher-ups at Activision. Hopefully they realize that weak sales right now are a consequence of Destiny 2, Curse of Osiris, and to a certain extent, Warmind. I think Forsaken has brought Destiny to the best place its ever been. The grind is a bit insane, but the quality of the latest content is really top-notch stuff. There's great stuff to do across a wide variety of activities, and the way the Dreaming City is unfolding over time is truly next-level for this franchise.

Quality content doesn’t matter if you can’t do it the right way.

Shattered throne, the raid, and other things I was cheated out of. I could not do them blind. Would you play and adventure / puzzle game with a walkthrough? Even if it were the best game ever, playing the whole thing with a walkthrough would ruin it.

So while the content might be ‘good’, it was still ruined for me by a bullshit progression system. So to me, Destiny is absolutely not in the best place it’s been.
