Guardians, it’s hard to ignore the pattern anymore. With Edge of Fate’s rocky launch and the constant stream of TWABs that double down on unpopular nerfs, it’s starting to feel less like mismanagement, and more like Destiny 2 is being deliberately wound down.
[b]Edge of Fate is Thin and Punishing[/b]
• A “major expansion” that delivered less than any before...
• The return of an exhausting power grind, forcing 70+ hours just to reach a point where the game feels playable.
• The Desert Perpetual raid tuned so poorly that even top squads felt punished instead of challenged.
[b]This isn’t innovation, it’s attrition.[/b]
[b]The TWABs Prove They’re Not Listening even after they say “we hear your feedback”!!!![/b]
Week after week, Bungie releases TWABs full of nerfs. Community feedback is clear: players hate the changes, but instead of rethinking, Bungie doubles down.
• Abilities are toned down right after players finally master them.
• Weapon perks get clipped before they ever have time to shine.
• Builds that took weeks to perfect are gutted in a single hotfix.
[b]It’s not balance, it’s sabotage of player investment.[/b]
[b]Disregard for the Playerbase[/b]
The worst part isn’t just the changes, it’s the tone. Bungie communicates these adjustments as if the playerbase doesn’t matter, brushing off concerns as “expected friction” or “unintended synergies.” The message is clear: our feedback doesn’t matter.
When stealth nerfs slip into the game and the community calls it out, the answer isn’t accountability, it’s excuses. How long before players stop even caring enough to ask?
[b]Are We Watching the End?[/b]
Destiny has always been about persistence, investment, and the promise of something greater tomorrow. But now? Edge of Fate feels like the opposite:
• Less content.
• More grind.
• Constant nerfs.
• [b][u]A community ignored.[/u][/b]
It feels intentional. Not a stumble, not a rough patch, a controlled dismantling of the game we love.
And maybe that’s the truth: all good things come to an end. Maybe Destiny 2 is being buried not by neglect, but by design.

🔥 [b]Question to the community[/b]: Do you feel this is still a game worth fighting for, or are we watching Bungie slowly and deliberately pull the plug on Destiny 2?🤷
My theories are: internal power struggle, intentional sabotage before Sony takes over fully and/or them wanting to work on a new title as their love for Destiny 2 has dwindled….what do you think?

I’m starting to believe this is a deliberate tactic to force players to stop playing D2 , who in their right mind would think these changes have improved things
