Destiny sold for $ 325 M the first 5 days ( my bad to leave that out). Cod bo 2 grossed $ 500 M in 24 h. GTA V- $1 B in 3 days. In other words: FIASCO. Activision stock market has gone down 17% in 1 month. How is this a success? People panicked and sold their shares when destiny didn't sell as much as they anticipated. 76 on metacritic is also a big fail and perhaps this will result that we will never see destiny 2 and 3. But that's just me speculating. But what I really want to say is that people hate on bungie when it's really not their fault. It's the investors fault that we have to buy the expansions that were initially supposed to be included in the game. You know that Michael Patcher, lead writer jumped if this project, when Activision decided they wanted to make more money. U know what we got instead of story? Grimoir cards. The game was not finished on deadline so they took away half the game just to sell it to us in DLCs. You know this right? Don't get me wrong, i love this game. But only the future can show us if it ever gonna be what it could be.

  • OK, I finally get where you're coming from and I absolutely agree on the bigger part of your arguments. Especially considering the huge pressure and skyhigh expectations certain parties had for this franchise. But I refuse to believe Destiny as it is, made a nett loss a month after its release. Can you give me a source for the 325 mill? Because if not, I still have the 500 mill gross revenue in the back of my head that Activision themselves mentioned compared to the initial investment that's nowhere near that number. In any case, we don't have to find common ground on the business side. All I gather from our talk is that we both like the game, we like the promise it held, the potential it showed but we dislike the end result and the feeling that the business side interfered too much with the overall gaming experience the most of us had.

  • Lol ok I'd sell my stock too. But I remain curious as to what their nett result is at the moment.
