[quote]I really don’t call 2 games a franchise. It’s two games. Plus how many other games exist that operate in the same sphere now vs. 2016 let alone 2014? There are not massive amount of casual gamers who would be playing a game 18 months later when trends tend to dictate they migrate to whatever is popular in culture and Destiny is not. While the state of the game has impacted my play time it had little to do with game quality. Just playing other games at the moment.[/quote] Not everything is about you. I played with the same group of friends who were all casual players for all of Destiny. In D2 I’ve gone through 4 clans because eventually all 90+ people in it quit playing. That’s my anecdote, but it doesn’t matter. What matters is that D2 hemorrhages players so much that Activision didn’t think they could make money off it in the next two years.
