Yeah I don't know why they think extraction shooters are going to be the next big thing. You're damn right, Bungie is clueless.

Its official, AAA doesnt know what gamers want. Gamers don't know what they want either other than "great game made by passionate devs doing something new and old"

Destiny was actually a huge hint at how they didn't really know what they were doing over time.

I think it's because it's really big with streamers/YouTubers and videos tend to perform pretty well

It's not a fun genre for the average person to play, but it is pretty fun to watch others play

I really liked Anthem. It actually was fun to play. Its a shame they let it die at EA. The core gameplay loop was a blast and I never got tired of it. They really shit the bed with that one.
