    “hey let’s release the same thing over and over again, charge almost full game price for it, and whenever something new comes out, just delete everything they’ve already paid for.”

    “hey why aren’t people continuing to buy our game…”

    Yeah. Great mystery, that one.

    Bungie will never get another dollar from me.

      In fairness, they did stop deleting content… but at the same time they stubbornly refuse to restore the content already deleted…

        I’ll never forget that sheer confounded rage I felt when I installed the game after a few years and suddenly didnt have any of the content I had paid for anymore. ~$120 at least was just fucking gone. They never even responded to my emails about it either. Garbage

          Sunsetting killed the game for me too, I wasn’t able to replace ever piece of gear to keep my stat split correct and there were still entire element and weapon types missing entirely a year after it went into effect. I took a break, then a longer break, then never went back because I felt like I missed too much.

          I heard they fully un-sunset everything they had sunset, but at this point I have zero desire to play the game anymore. This is after having played thousands of hours and having D2 as the only game I played for much of that time. As a 50/50 PVE and PVP player, the slow death of PVP and the removal of half the raids kills the game for me.

        Except seasonal content. I wouldn’t care about the activities, but there is story stuff that directly continues story of one expansion and also leads into the next. Sometimes it is standalone, but also may or may not end up relevant later.

        I was really into Destiny but once I got off that train it felt like I just can’t jump back on.

        I hate that they deleted stuff but I can understand arguments against the size. It’s at 130GB without all of that missing content.

      as a warframe player, it boggles my mind that bungie can’t figure this out.
