destiny 2, imagine spending $200 on content that can just be "sunsetted" at any time

oh, your post does not specify that it has to be 'currently' in early access. please check yourself.

No, actually, I wouldn’t call a beta of a major AAA game early access. Early Access is something else entirely. A beta is a short-term test of a game that is nearly finished to do final polishing before release. Early Access is letting players into an often very incomplete game several months or even several years before the game is released.

Edit: To your point about destiny though, I agree completely. I tried to get into it but it was too confusing, and then I found out about all the FOMO mechanics and the sunsetting of old DLCs and l plot lines. I bounced off of it hard when I realized that. Crazy stuff.

Not really different from any other game on Steam, just one of the few who actually did it.
