I have some friends still playing but they’re mainly crucible [PVP] players. Pretty much everyone else who played since D1 has quit w/in the past 2 years. Personally I quit playing last year when they announced sun-setting. That along with the lack of content year after year, Bungie raising the price of the big expansion + season pass along with other issues Bungie brings upon themselves/the game pushed me away finally. This is a company who commits to not doing something only to change course down the line and they expect fans to be ok with it. Not to mention the nerfs hitting PVE because of PVP, etc, etc. There is no vision or leadership at Bungie imo.
The thing is Destiny at it’s core is an incredible shooter. But the truth is there are still a lot of people still playing D2 along with those who came in late who are now/still playing…. What’s hilarious is how up in arms most, if not all, content creators got over sun-setting threatening to quit the game, etc. Yet at the end of the day they make easy money playing this game and took it up the wazoo like all the other suckers out there who still support this game. Which is sad because real change might have been possible. Regardless, at this point even if a D3 dropped idk that I trust Bungie anymore to even support that. 2 cents
