Seasons were never compelling, they were always just an additional FOMO cashgrab. Bungie's way of introducing a subscription model to their game without calling it that. That goes for any game with a "battlepass" really. Bungie fits right into Sony's camp, charge more for no additional value. Because of Destiny 2, I'm forever going to be suspicious of Bungies games, and literally anything they say. They went from one of my most beloved developers to being one to watch out for because they'll shove a pole up your rear when you're not paying attention. Hell, even if you are paying attention, they just don't care. I remember when Eververse was introduced in D1, Bungie assured us the money was going back into development for free events and content. But instead of that I see more ads, literal Destiny sponsored ads, more in game purchases, more reskinned garbage, literal re-issued old -blam!-, more expensive seasons etc. Events are only "free" because they re-use the -blam!- from the last time the event was around, and introduce more eververse items to buy. It's shameful really... Destiny 1 positioned itself as a new incredible shared world shooter to play with your friends. Destiny 2 content is so segregated and paywalled that no one can actually play together without forking out money for each little piece of content.
