There you have it, gamers prefer being cannon fodder to being material farmers.

This has gotta be a joke. Destiny's beta was a closed beta, open only to those who pre ordered. Battlefront was open to everyone. If 9 million people played the open beta for Battlefront, then just a couple million more than that will be playing at launch. Destiny had 17 million launch. I know it lost a few players during year one, but the majority stayed and others came during year two. TL;DR? Nah. Destiny isn't going anywhere.
