On content and why we're drowning in it. (Destiny)

This game isn't supposed to have a logical end point. The end point is when you decide to stop playing (or pause playing until they make more content) and then whenever they decide to stop making that content and make something else.

All games have logical end points:

1. You've conquered all the challenges. Beaten all the levels, done all the side quests, etc.
2. The story ends. If the game is narrative driven, the end of the story naturally concludes the game.

When you are that point, you want a sense of closure. After you've tackled all of Destiny's challenges, you don't feel that at all. As far as random ass challenges that involve you doing wacky things, I'd say if you are at that point you'd be better off trying a new unfamiliar game with new challenges. You're basically trying to eat every little crumb left instead of just getting a new cookie.
