The dwindling playerbase....
All those players that left are/were the majority
And if the forums are that bad why are you here?
I mean I think I can guess since you were commenting on this post yesterday but I won’t give you the ammunition you’re after

The players that left are no longer the majority though. The majority of players don't even come to these forums to voice their opinions so the other guy was right, if you think the majority are here, you are mistaken.
-
Show me where I said the majority are here. I’ll wait The majority left because of poor design, bad ideas and being lied to. Now the ones left are the new majority and getting the same treatment
-
D1 sold over 30 million copies not counting dlc. That’s well north of a billion dollars in base revenue. Realistically between D1 launch and present this game has generated several billion dollars in revenue.
-
Destiny has made a huge ammount of money, but D1 didn't sell 30M units. It amassed 30M registered users over three years, which includes tons of siblings, roommates, romantic partners and spouses playing on the same copy sold. D1's sales were probably somewhere around 20M, give or take. There's a reason they make registered user numbers public and not sales, so that people like you will believe and state that sales were even higher than they were.
-
In fact between D1 and D2 they sold over 50 million unit generating over 3 billion in revenues not counting micro transactions and expansions. If they’re cash strapped that poor decision making.
-
Don't think that I'm defending Bungle, but I've never seen any sales figures by unit, at all. 50M is an impossibility, with 30M RU for D1 and under 15M RU for D2, with free giveaways on all platforms. If you're going to present data, please back it up with a source. I cannot, nor have I ever been able to, find ANY sales figures beyond estimates made around launch, or estimates made thanks to the sales figures presented in O'Donnell's lawsuit.

In fact between D1 and D2 they’ve SOLD over 50 million units generating over $3 billion. That doesn’t count expansions or micro transactions. If they’re strapped for cash they need to manage their business better instead of treating it like a piggy bank.

Edited by MONKEYGOTRABIES: 9/22/2019 9:22:24 AMThe source for your figures literally says it DOES include expansions in literally the first line. Besides, even if I couldn't prove this (with the proof YOU provided), your asserstion would require that 5M people bought D1 or D2 and never made a character (30M RU for D1 and 15M RU for D2 adds up to 45M). That should be the first clue your numbers are BS. The second should be when you look for proof and it says unequivocally that you're wrong.
-
Okay. Nothing can convince you. Got it. Enjoy your time on the BDF.
-
Seriously, please attempt to read those big words under the title of the article you presented as proof that you're right, because it actually proves you're wrong. You either can't understand what you read or you're arrogantly insisting on some figure you read six months ago and are completely misremembering. Be a man, and have the balls to look and see if you're actually right. Newsflash: you aren't.
-
Learn to read.

Edited by MONKEYGOTRABIES: 9/22/2019 11:34:45 AMNo, not when the proof you bring up says you're wrong. Can you read? It's literally the first sentence: "The studio says it has sold 50 million copies of Destiny and Destiny 2, including expansions." Let me know what words are giving you trouble and I'll explain them for you. You really are dumb as a rock, and now, like a child you call me "BDF," not because I defend Bungle (notice I haven't once called them Bungie), who I basically say have hidden sales figures and promoted RU numbers because it makes them look better, but because I point out you're wrong, and prove it with the evidence you present! You claimed D1 and D2 sold 50M copies, just those two titles, WITHOUT including expansions. You present and article that says, in its first line: " The studio says it has sold 50 million copies of Destiny and Destiny 2 INCLUDING EXPANSIONS." No, nothing will convince me because you're wrong and YOU JUST PROVED IT, DUMBASS!
-
You’re mistaken. D1 had 30+ million copies sold. It was actually around 33 if memory serves. That’s what they reported in the share holder meeting for Activision.
-
Edited by MONKEYGOTRABIES: 9/22/2019 9:14:12 AMNope. Registered users. Besides, we've already established that you either can't read, or don't understand what you can read.

I mean I think I can guess since you were commenting on this post yesterday but I won’t give you the ammunition you’re after Toodles[/quote] I’m just here after the answer to number 8.:) You’re right though, I should just leave, sometimes I can’t help myself ribbing those here that somehow think that Bungie is failing or going to. Destiny is doing fine, it will continue to do so with or without me or you or anybody else. These forums have had the same apocolyptic tone about Destiny for 5 years. The game will be fine. I actually think it’s in the best place it’s ever been and we’re headed towards a great time in Destiny. Of course I could be totally wrong but whatev I play games and either like em or I don’t
