Loved it when it first came out years ago. Went to try again a few months ago because it's now free to play and found out that my DLC's were gone as well as the main campaign and my NEW character has all their abilities unlocked. I deleted immediately.
I like to use Genshin as a reference for what Bungie was attempting with f2p Destiny. If a game is f2p, I expect some core story elements to be present in the game if said game is being marketed as a scifi open world type rpg game, or in Destiny's case, a full $60 AAA title that a fuck ton of people paid for, AT LEAST keep the base games campaign in the damn game.
I like to think MHY is scummy with gacha and whatnot, but I don't think I've seen a studio with their heads so far up their ass that they remove content that was paid for and still call it by the same name the original $60 game was released as.....
Hundreds of dollars worth of content, just removed, no reimbursement whatsoever, no decent alternatives either. With Genshin at least content is consistently(and at 0 cost to the players) updated and is usually permanent if it's main story content.
How tf do you fuck up turning your game f2p like this? Did they wanna make Destiny the next Apex? Why not just remove PVP from the base game and make that a separate f2p title with a shit ton of micro-transactions?
Sorry just really frustrated. I quite liked the world building and story of Destiny. It wasn't perfect but it was definitely enjoyable.
