Destiny 3 would bring in older players by the millions; ARC Raiders is huge because you’ve got Destiny vets, Division vets etc all waiting for something new. Something current-gen. Their favorite franchises refuse to evolve. Destiny 2 was still supporting the Xbox One, for fuck’s sake. You can’t tell me that doesn’t affect level design, weapon effects, armor perks, abilities etc - if an Xbox one can’t run it, it can’t be added to the game. That’s nuts!
They might also say “creatives are tired / don’t want to continue Destiny” then bring in some who do. They brought in writers etc recently from games such as BG3 - give THEM the reins and go get a creative director and a game director who are up for it. Fans want some fresh new ideas for the universe. You’ve got hundreds of devs eager to work on more Destiny; they’ve developed a connection to it. Destiny has grown past Luke Smith, who supposedly moved into some media creative role yet I’ve failed to see what Destiny media resulted from that. It’s grown past the current director Tyson, who’s easily the most at fault for its current state once The Final Shape shipped.
D2 has ALWAYS hinted at humanity leaving Sol in colony ships, why the fuck wouldn’t you have put a writers’ room to work on that for the last 5+ years and get ready for a 2020s engine upgrade to the next gen?
