Honestly I feel lied to. Episodes were meant to replace seasons, but they LITERALLY function the same. Play for a week, get the thing or the random new currency, use it, listen to comms between characters, wait another -blam!- week until you can progress. THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE PROBLEM, BUNGIE. How long must we complain before you actually make a change? -blam!- you were doing so good with the DLC and now we're back to the same layout we've LITERALLY had for years now. The only thing you've changed is the name.
Edit: When a company does something wrong and the first thing you do is try to blame the buyer, that's when you know you've been brainwashed to be free damage control. If they get free, dedicated defenders, that means they can keep doing the same thing over and over no matter how egregious it is.

They rebranded seasons as episodes to highlight they are self contained stories and because the annual pass now has 3 seasons/episodes instead of 4. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s very little difference — people were predicting this long before the new season dropped.
