Tim Sweeney Says AI Could Make Destiny 2 Profitable

Summary
Tim Sweeney said on X that AI could “enable games like Destiny to thrive,” responding to a report that Destiny 2 was only rarely profitable over its lifespan.
The Forbes report he cited blamed the game’s weak economics on the enormous volume of content that had to be produced nonstop to satisfy players.
Sweeney’s comment fits his broader AI push: Epic said in June that Unreal Engine 6 will add AI tools to cut tedious development work, while Sweeney has criticized Steam’s AI-disclosure rules.
The exchange also revived a wider debate over Destiny’s struggles, because the same report said periods of profitability were undermined when cash was later misused by leadership.
