Destiny has had its ups and down since its launch, and developer Bungie even sent out a questionnaire in February asking if fans were having fun. Activision is putting a postive spin on the game for investors, reporting that it now has almost 30 million registered users, although how many of those are active, the company isn't saying.

"We think engagement has remained remarkably strong, even after the release of some competitive games in this genre," said Activision CEO Eric Hirshberg in an investor conference call yesterday. "But it's clear that our fans are hungry for more content than we've been able to create and that passion and loyalty from our fans is something that we don't take for granted, which is why we're working side-by-side with Bungie to make sure that in the future, we're able to deliver a more consistent stream of great content and drive even more engagement."

COO Thomas Tippl said users are averaging more the 100 hours of play time, and the April update provided "strong reengagement," while Hirshberg said the update was "very well received" by fans.  Activision is planning an another expansion for the game later this year, and a sequel is already in the works for 2017. The first expansion, The Taken King, launched in September.
