And I doubt many would say Destiny is a game where many play it for the story that's mostly slapped into the codex.
Also if people didn’t care about wow story then why would there be outside the game material like books and comics etc. if they had diminishing returns they wouldn’t invest in it. Also that goes into Wotlk people loved it because it brought in a character they loved in their story and lore and it gave that a conclusion. Heck I remember having to watch a 35 min sort of lore video to understand the premise of Arthus and why he was a big deal.

These forums are an echo chamber of negativity and sadly with no mod intervention they’ve began to ferment and secrete into all aspects of discussion. I also don’t believe for instance the store which promotes skips actually sells that many. I think they have falsely created that narrative to get more people to contemplate looking at them with alts or people who don’t like story. I mean it’s pure speculation on my part and there is no statistics for it but it would make sense the company who is happy to make more money would advertise their big pieces as hotly bought.
