Why Do People Still Play Destiny 2? (lemmy.world)

With the release of "The Final Shape," the main storyline has concluded, and it seems like the developers are now just churning out random content and seasonal passes without a clear direction for the game's future. I'm genuinely curious about what motivates players to stick around. Are there aspects of the game that still offer value or enjoyment, or are players simply holding on in hopes of something more substantial? What keeps them engaged with Destiny 2 despite its apparent lack of a clear path forward?

Because the gunplay is really good. I never had a shred of interest in the story.

I don't still play because the level and enemy design tanked when they went into expansion treadmill mode, but "a path forward" was never something I cared even a little bit about. "The path forward" is what killed my fun.

Confirmed. The gunplay is amazing. I haven't played for a year or two but I would jump back in today if The Final Shape included all the catch-up/prior DLC packs.
