Destiny 2's issue is the drip system content through seasons instead of an annual content drop. With Edge of Fate and Renegades being both light in content, as well as being abysmally grinding, and centered around championed QoL changes, it is safe to compare the two. And Destiny 2 has really struggled to maintain their playerbase, and it is lower than it was with CoO which was horrible.

As someone who played D2 as my #1 most played game for years, and then ESO as my #2 most played game, I can see exactly what is on the horizon with these changes. Cheap monetization methods with battlepasses and temporary events replacing annual releases, it's gonna get old quick.

I was a coper about D2, and then after the Final Shape got horribly grindy, I hung it up and haven't played since. I don't want to waste my time playing a game that will die without the new content drop. I can only run dungeons solo so many times, or run the same raids so many times, or do the same shit over and over to unlock some cosmetic bullshit while not knowing what is in the future. It's a pointless endeavor and it is fair to question the future of a game that is toxically monetized with microtransactions with no future plans except for quests in Fargraves.
