To put some perspective on this, the money being spent on Destiny is more than twice the amount EA reportedly spent on Star Wars: The Old Republic and a little less than double the $265,000,000 Rockstar paid to get GTA V made. Speaking of questionable Activision Blizzard moves, the console-only FPS MMO Destiny is reportedly going to cost $500 million: I mean, I too was that guy years ago, but that sort of shit doesn’t fly with me these days.

I’m not really sure what to think about this sort of thing anymore at the moment, I’m leaning towards simple incredulity that there are 7.6 million people paying a subscription to a game that will be going on a full year without any new content.
Speaking of bodies, WoW lost another 200k of them since last quarter, bringing the total to a mere 7.6 million. And rather annoying to argue against with my MMO market saturation theories. That’s noteworthy specifically because the ~10 consecutive years of growth itself was noteworthy. Incidentally, NoizyGamer believes that this year or the last one might have marked the last year of consecutive EVE subscriber growth. It should be noted that in that article, CCP basically states that Dust still has 100,000 active daily players, which is around 100k more than it seemed to have any reason to have last time I played. I’m not actually sure a sandbox PvP/PvE hybrid shooter MMO is what I’m looking for anymore, but given I have continued to grudgingly slink back to PlanetSide 2 for my FPS urges, let’s just say that I’m not exactly opposed to new experiences. Which is, for all intents and purposes, a rebooting of Dust 514 on the platform it should have been released on in the first place: the PC. The one bit of news out of CCP’s Fanfest 2014 that peaked my interest was Project Legion.
