With the steep decline of player population, based on public numbers, the game will be dead in 2 weeks.

We hit today a low of 109.000 players across all platforms, based on popularity.report data. Update: As of now, 60.000 players. 2 weeks might be even quite generous. If those numbers is to be trusted (which so far has been the case, especially regarding reports of r/Destiny where people speak of their worries regarding the low player count), the game will be dead due to population decline in 2 weeks. And I think Bungie knows that as well. It seems like they have given up on the game and all that we see is mainly maintenance mode. Because there were no drastic "oh -blam!-, go back" changes made. This is it, Guardians. The Darkness in our final days.

  • That number can’t be trusted. There were over 300k players online yesterday. Not sure how it gets it’s data, but it’s way off.

    • there's always some passion involved when delivering bad news about D2 in this forum huh? it's like they're *loosely* expecting the game to NOT fumble another time. smh
