>>literally changes everything to maximize retention, engagement, and attract new players
none of this matters when the game is a dead and soulless husk of what it was, and it became this thanks to the garbage writing that we've been getting for the past 3 years and which somehow keeps getting worse

some people think that the story doesn't matter and never has, but they're stupid, it absolutely does matter
when you log on to play the weekly story quests and you're greeted by Eramis bitching at you for genociding her misbegotten race, or Saint and Osiris kissing, or Ana having a meltdown over her daddy issues, or having a therapy session with Zavala about his dead baboon wife, or some shit about the Fallen and Hive being misunderstood dindus, i could go on
after experiencing these story developments you play some activities and what you get from them are the ugliest piece of shit designed weapons and armor
do you now want to keep playing this game? do you want to come back for next season? do you still give a shit about the setting and the characters? do you want to spend time in this universe in which they made everything lame and retarded and literally gay?
NO, of course you don't, and the numbers show this. and no engagement padding shit will or can fix this because no one wants to come back for this faggotry
and what's eve worse is that all of the good, or at least not lame and gay stuff, is gone. so i can't even play the old stuff and pretend none of the new shit exists

no one gives a shit about this 124GB of wasted potential anymore
Destiny is beyond saving

wtf happened to hard kingston defense? it's not on the map anymore

earth shattering TRVTHNVKE

under Joe's direction the game was irreparably damaged and the tone ruined
3 back to back expansions with trash nonsensical stories that retconned and shat all over the already established lore and characters, and anyone who thinks that the stories of WQ/LF/TFS were even remotely good should go back to listening Jabba the Byf gargle Bungie's piss
and then there are the seasonal stories with masterpieces like Splicer, Plunder, Seraph, Deep, really most of them after BL were shit
Stasis is half useless and has one super per class. here's a new Light super for each class btw. third Darkness subclass? never heard of it
the Light and Darkness """Saga""" nonsense is moronic, the Witness and everything involving it is an abomination that shouldn't exist, Strand too
Neomuna and the Pale Heart are all reused assets with the latter having modern art installations sprinkled throughout, Prismatic and the Dread were last minute panic reskins because they saw no one was impressed with the first TFS reveal
all of the redditors that think TFS was the best narrative since Taken King should drown in a deep pool of piss

and even the good stuff he did was half-assed
like crafting which was a fucking mess with a million currencies at the start, and they flip-flopped on what should and shouldn't be craftable since it was added, still waiting for that craftable Hawkmoon
here's transmog, Ada is a seamstress now but, oh you can only do a limited number of her bounties per season for synthweave teehee
not even gonna say anything about bringing challenge back to Destiny, the overload minotaur already did that
the best thing he did was the seasons not being removed right away but Luke already talked about that and fomo even before the release Beyond Light

but idiots and apologists still praise him because idk, WQ slapped and TFS was pure cinema or however the 10,000 (+2000 Bonus) Destiny 2 Silver bundle is bought
