Manifest Destiny, if you will.

All stories have an ending. I think the industry is healthier when it can bring things to a close and move on to another one.

It'll be a sad day personally when SoT sunsets, and I fear that's not too far off now. As with Bungie, if Rare have lost the spark to keep the game going, let it end as a live service model but keep it available to play offline.

Or, just an idea, Destiny 3 a single player/coop campaign with an emphasis on telling a self contained story.

Justin Fleming (The Typer)

I like that touch at the end implicating that players often let themselves want similar things that executives want and it leads to bad expectations for players and developer. Nicely written

Destiny could always been solid single player campaign game with solid coop. Instead it went over it's head. Live service will be always a big gamble, for which either publisher needs to take initial loses or start small with appealing concept. Land grab a la Fortnite style is not possible with hundreds of things aligning.
