Destiny 2 Community Expresses Widespread Disappointment with The Edge of Fate Expansion
Launched on July 15, Destiny 2’s new mid-scale expansion, The Edge of Fate, initiated the “Fate” saga, intended to mark a fresh era for the game. However, this expansion has quickly drawn significant criticism from Bungie’s dedicated Destiny 2 community. This criticism, which the community stresses is “honest feedback” rather than “attacks on employees,” highlights widespread disappointment. Since its release, players have voiced concerns across platforms like Reddit, warning that the expansion could negatively impact the game’s future. Despite this feedback, The Edge of Fate attracted more players, peaking at 108,000 concurrent Steam players—the highest number since June 2024—though this figure fell considerably short of last year’s peak of over 313,000 concurrent players. Numerous Reddit posts indicate players are losing clan members and friends who have quit Destiny 2, with many expressing that The Edge of Fate has diminished their enjoyment of Bungie’s title.
Disappointment Mounts Among Destiny 2 Players over Internal Decisions and The Edge of Fate
Bungie has not yet publicly addressed these concerns, but the community perceives the game as being at a critical juncture. Veteran player Veshwolfe, for example, listed several specific issues contributing to this loss of enjoyment. These include Armor 3.0, the level-grind, perceived poor RPG design, the Portal system, and the new Sieve activity. Veshwolfe emphasized that The Edge of Fate has not “killed” Destiny 2, but suggested the game could decline due to internal decisions rather than external competition. This detailed comment garnered over 1,200 upvotes, with many player comments reinforcing the view that Bungie’s decisions have alienated a segment of the community by diminishing the game’s enjoyment. Daily criticisms regarding the game’s state and Bungie’s choices continue to emerge, including one Reddit post that labeled Destiny 2 “highly antisocial and anticonsumer.” This ongoing feedback underscores the challenges Bungie currently faces with its player base.
