Destiny 2 players shocked Bungie thought \u201clackluster\u201d Lightfall was sustainable BungieWith reports claiming Bungie\u2019s layoffs were partly caused by missed revenue targets, Destiny 2 players can\u2019t help but wonder why higher-ups thought the \u201clackluster\u201d Lightfall DLC would be sustainable. Bungie recently laid off 8 percent of its workforce, with 100 people losing their jobs ahead of the holidays. According to a report from Bloomberg, employees were informed earlier in October that the firm would miss its revenue targets by a whopping 45 percent. Developers were, thus, encouraged to right the course of Destiny 2. Two weeks later, surprise layoffs rocked the company. Given Destiny 2\u2019s recent releases, specifically the Lightfall expansion, fans are wondering why revenue projections were so high. Destiny 2 fans say Bungie\u2019s Lightfall expansion wasn\u2019t sustainable As talk about the Bungie layoffs persists, one Reddit user pointed out the irrationality of executives believing Lightfall offered a viable content plan. \u201cSo Lightfall as an \u2018expansion\u2019 only gave us one new strike, a raid, nothing for gambit and nothing for PvP, so who thought that was sustainable?\u201d the Redditor asked. The user knows there\u2019s much the public doesn\u2019t understand about the company\u2019s projections, but \u201cthis lackluster \u2018expansion\u2019 that barely expanded the game in any shape other than Neptune, Strand, and a new raid ain\u2019t it chief.\u201d Several other longtime Destiny fans chimed in to agree. One person stated that while players usually move on to Ritual Playlists after finishing the DLC, even that content has seen better days. \u201cOnce players are done with expansion and seasonal content, they go play ritual Playlists. But wait\u2026 Ritual Playlists are in bad shape. And you wonder why player retention is failing.\u201d More people joined the conversation to ensure the blame landed in its proper place \u2013 Bungie leadership. Another Redditor said of Bungie\u2019s ill-received Destiny 2 Lightfall content: \u201cRemember, the devs are ultimately just doing what they\u2019re told. Incompetent management is what made Lightfall a disaster, nothing else\u2026\u201d Whatever way you slice it, it\u2019s unfortunate that so many people were given the axe over decisions beyond their control.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
