As we argued in our review, Destiny 2 is a good game. Yet for how much praise we gave it, it's suffered from some issues that have resulted in disgruntled players, and quite a few quitting the game. Among the arguments is the design of endgame progression, which is gated and not all that dense right now.

This, combined with Bungie's Destiny Tracker showing a significant decrease in player population has spurred plenty of talks of doomsday and the sky falling.

Apparently, Bungie isn't having it, and this week decided to remove the tracker altogether after quite a few articles and popular Reddit threads spoke of the game struggling to maintain a healthy playerbase. With this,  no longer can you view the active population of the game.

The following reason was provided:

We've removed this chart because people are using it to spread a false narrative of the Destiny 2 player population. Daily Unique users is a misleading statistics to use as basis for the active population of the game, any game in that matter. Not everyone plays video games 24/7, besides maybe at launch. We hoped our article would've cleared this up a bit but it seems it hasn't. To halt people from making false narratives based on the numbers we provide we decided to stop showing them in this chart.

The truth is that Destiny 2 is incredibly popular, but as with any game has lost quite a number of players over the weeks as big games have released. It's only going to get worse  as we head toward the launch of Call of Duty: WWII, Super Mario Odyssey, and Star Wars Battlefront II, so  Bungie is probably doing the right thing here if it wants to avoid coming face-to-face with the popularity of its game dwindling as Christmas approaches. If anything, Black Friday will give it the jump it's looking for, along with the next major update.
