I can't believe Sega of all corpos was smart enough to look at their AAA lootbox slop shooter and go "wow this looks like absolute dogshit better cancel it and write it off so we can put those resources towards better games."
I don't really see what the alternative for Sony rather than keeping the game running and hoping for some redemption arc to being back players. Shutting it down isn't worth it unless the cost of keeping it alive is less than the current earnings.

Yes, something like 4% of the population has the server level 100 steam achievement. it's a roach motel for those 32,000 or so tarkov sweats that drove away 80% of the playerbase since launch. i didn't care about playing any more b/c it was too hostile a design, there is almost no loot on the maps and they have tweaked the matchmaking settings to be less crowded, or they are just throwing lobbies together within 30 seconds no matter how empty so ppl don't notice empty queue times. i saw multiple crew fill rounds where there was only 1 other team in the lobby.
high-level ranked is apparently rampant with ESP cheating, aimbotters get banned only if they kill streamers really blatantly
Good. He's a prick, an idiot, a liar and a journalist (but I repeat myself). And he was trying to prop the thing up and carry water for it. Let him suffer for his mistakes and relish his pain.

That's more delusional than my hopes of them being squeezed into cranking out destiny 3 in a reasonable amount of time. A total rebuild would require a year, minimum. What's out now is what they have, there's no magic box full of almost finished content with maps, assets, mechanics and overhauls ready to go when Sony gives the green light. Marathon doesn't have a year left to stand on its incredibly feeble legs, while it waits for a miracle overhaul. Now I can't knock you too hard because I know just as much as you in terms of internal Bungie-Sony discussion. But if I was a betting man, my money would be on Sony to make them lean into an established franchise to generate hype and money. And their only one left is destiny. I could be wrong, but I doubt it.
Turning off the lights is always cheaper than keeping them on.

You think it's more plausible that they would kill off both Marathon and Destiny 2 (the other live service game that they bought) and then spend 200 or 300 million and at least four years of development to producing a Destiny 3.
I'm the delusional one here?
What's the other option? Oni remake?
Total studio shut down and a 4 billion dollar tax right off?
