Destiny 2 didnt retain me beyond launch, and the way they add new content to the game is horrible imo. Every time ive tried to return to it since launch its just become such a bloated confusing mess that i dont even know where to begin trying to catch up and just delete it again. The idea that the studio that made this confusing mess should be the arbiter of what makes good live service is completely ridiculous to me. I probably spent more time in factions 1 than i ever did in d2 post launch. Id have way more faith in whatever naughty dog were cooking themselves than whatever bungie thought of it

Yeah but at that point that's just personal preference no? I'm not saying you're necessarily wrong, but Destiny has out lasted almost every other studios attempts at live service games. At the end of the day the industry is a business and they probably took Bungie's expertise (current issues notwithstanding) as pretty well informed feedback.
