The numbers don't lie. They have a surge of users when then employ the old paid DLC model and constantly shrink under their Live service model. Lets also not forget they had to take the game F2P play too.
Guess what? Elden Ring will shoot back up the most played list when it releases new DLC too. This is just normal. It isn't Bungie's greatness.
I find it astonishing that Sony have made these guys the arbiter of their GaaS evolution. They don't make good decisions for their own game. Imagine how bad they'll be with some other studio's game. Lol.
The Players and Daily login numbers are estimations based on subscriber numbers and online sentiment.Still almost a million players daily around the world and is ranked #2 only behind World of Warcraft. I'm sure Sony and Bungie know the numbers much better than anyone. Their average monthly has also been increasing every year since 2020. Halo is a free to play and it died pretty quickly only after a year. Destiny has been growing its popularity year after year since going f2p.

You keep posting numbers like it changes the facts.We can go by Steam numbers then. Still top 5 most played MP game right now. It is popular , you can't argue that regardless of the drop (which is normal for any game after new content like you said). This isn't including Xbox and PlayStation numbers either where it regularly stays in the top 10.

The company failed to keep players engaged and had to go F2P. Their only successes are from an old DLC method. Their live service fails to keep folk engaged.
This is the company who Sony made arbiter of all Live Service Playstation games. That isn't good.
Hell, you only have to have played the game to know this isn't the right choice.
Live service isn't paid for expansions. So no. Fortnite doesn't do it. Apex doesn't do it.The numbers tell the story. People still have incentive to play. Their live service revolves around making new seasons and content every few months to keep the community going. That's what live service is. The fact you see a big boost in every few months show their formula is working for them just like Fortnite. Just like Apex. Just like Valorant. And every other top / most played live service game.
Live service isn't paid for expansions. So no. Fortnite doesn't do it. Apex doesn't do it.
But their rise is not because of a different model. Funny how you fail to acknowledge this.Every new season in Fortnite and Apex there is a boost in numbers at the beginning and when people have got to LVL 100 in battlepass or played what they want they stop.
But their rise is not because of a different model. Funny how you fail to acknowledge this.
You can keep playing ignorant all you want, but they are terrible at Live Service and keeping players engaged with it. Which is why they still heavily rely on the old paid for DLC model. like none of the other games you tried comparing too.
But it is owned by Playstation now and Playstation appointed them arbiter so you will never accept it and defend it with feigned ignorance for as long as they remain owned by Playstation.
Don't bother replying. Your nonsense and spin is dull and no longing worthy of a reply.
The two in charge of marathon have been with Bungie since halo ce and halo 2…. those are the only two that I know of working on it.Bungie is cool now that Sony owns it. BTW there is pretty much nobody left at Bungie from the OG Bungie. It’s only Bungie by name. Same with 343.

It’s like when your parents start listening to your music or try wearing cloths similar to you. Or when your parthner buys you and your dog matching outfitsBungie was always cool but now that Sony owns it, it's not anymore
But mine is true and yours is a silly attempt at deflectingBungie was always cool but now that Sony owns it, it's not anymore
It’s like when your parents start listening to your music or try wearing cloths similar to you. Or when your parthner buys you and your dog matching outfits
But you buy it anyways and never wear it unless you know they won’t be there…..may have done thatIt's like you wanted a certain Rolex and it's always looked good to you but then you find out your archenemy has bought the exact same model and now you don't think it looks good anymore but it's the exact same Rolex
No Factions updates...
They’re off to a good start.Treat Factions like a Rockstar project. Radio silence for years until its ready to come out.
How will Dried spin this oneOver 4 years later and we still haven't received the second half of the TLOU2 game
