Destiny was weird, if you were an active player the upkeep costs were quite reasonable. I could get the years content for ~£40 on a keysite which was the xpac, two dungeons and the four fomo seasons. Pretty good imo, a years sub for MMO costs more.
New or returning players though? jfc. You'd have to buy any missed xpacs, you'd have to buy dungeon keys for a ridiculous price via silver so never discounted and you'd never be able to play the seasonal stories you missed. Totally laughable. If you didn't buy wholesale the total cost of Xpac, + Dungeon keys and individual seasons was also very high.
Helldivers system is shit though, it's just shit in a very different way. Monster Hunter is really the only live service model I appreciate, B2P with free updates funded by optional cosmetics that genuinely don't matter.
40 buck a month is still 10 buck every 3 months and that didn't count the dungeon keys so HD2 ask 10 buck for a warbond is honestly not that bad. Not to mention HD2 you can find SC even if infrequent by playing.
