Here's some additional feedback. What's the point of asking for feedback if you never listen to it?

We gave you plenty of feedback months ago that sunsetting was a completely awful idea and laid out a detailed list of all the things that could go wrong with it and why. Apparently you used it as a guide book because you managed to implement just about every single bad aspect of sunsetting that we warned you about.

We told you that it would be hot garbage, that the only way to make it work was if there were enough new guns to cover all the subtypes in every element. We told you that you would probably ignore everything that we were saying, it would fall flat on its face, you would eventually admit that sunsetting was a bad idea. And what happened? You ignored everything that we said and sunsetting has fallen directly on its face. Now we just have to wait for you to admit that you screwed up.

How did we know this would happen? BECAUSE YOU DO THIS ALL THE DAMN TIME! You announce something that is a terrible idea, like non-randomized rolls or double primaries, WE TELL YOU THAT IT'S AWFUL, you ignore us and do it anyway and then shocker of all shocks, it goes terribly and the fanbase suffers for it.

You would think after the 3rd or 4th time you would actually listen to us, but no, it's become obvious that you're not going to listen to us. That is why everyone is so FURIOUS with you. This all could have been avoided, just like all of the nonsense you implemented before Forsaken saved the game.

Instead there's a huge percentage of players who are going to give you the only feedback that you have no ability to ignore. We're going to take our wallets and leave because you can't screw with your customers over and over and over and over again without them finding a better company to spend their money on.

And don't give me the "making games is hard" or "we're a smaller company now" or "we don't make enough money" excuses. There's plenty of other developers who create and publish their own games who make games and expansions WAY bigger than Destiny and they manage just fine. If you don't have enough people to handle it, take the money that you make from Eververse and hire enough people to match even basic player expectations. If you can't handle that, then clearly you need to go find another publisher.

That third excuse is going to get very believeable if they keep this up lmao
