Was never a big PvP player and I mostly ignore microtransactions so this latest of Destiny's many crises hasn't exacerbated anything for me. To my mind the issue goes deeper.
I used to be massively into Destiny, but haven't played since before Lightfall. Season of Plunder just left me really cold and I realised I'd lost any appetite to go back, which is weird considering how much fun I was having around the Witch Queen. The contrast with Baldur's Gate 3 - an utterly enthralling, enriching single-player experience - hasn't flattered Destiny in my eyes, and I've been seeing some of my favourite Destiny streamers (e.g. AztecCross) feeling the same way.
Alas, I suspect it will never reach the lofty heights of the Witch Queen again. Unless perhaps the rumoured TV show/movie come to pass and reinvigorate the player base. I wonder how many years it will be until they give up and start on Destiny 3.
They say Final Shape is the end of the current saga. I reckon Destiny 3 is the next major release after that - maybe 2025/26.
