Bungie, you can't increase the seasonal price because Lightfall failed

Dear Bungie, I read your TWAB, and your justification of increasing the Season Pass price is because "our teams continue to invest in crafting compelling Seasonal experiences for the year of Lightfall." However, the reason your teams have to create a "compelling seasonal experience" is because Lightfall didn't have a story, no satisfaction, and lacked a "compelling experience." You can't charge players more because you have to fix your own mistake. You already know this though. For example; when Witch Queen was delayed (the 2nd expansion in a row to be delayed) you developed and released the 30th Anniversary for free to players to give us some fresh content to hold us over until Witch Queen's release. Of course there was a paid option for cosmetics, but the activity and weapons were free. How is it now, that you have unlearned that lesson, and are now going to charge your players extra for delivering a story that should have come out months ago? I know the community will be upset because "Prices, high. Me, no like." but from a logical point, this doesn't fly. Unless the seasonal stories this year completely blow all other non-expansion content out of the water (because they can't just be exceptional, they have to be exceptional to make up for what Lightfall lacked) then this isn't justified, noble, or reasonable. Sincerely, A Concerned Guardian

  • 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.
