Dear Bungie,
your purely money driven development of the game only pushes me to not buy anything.
The fact that I have to pay a season pass, in addition to the dlc, just to play some bad campaign missions and get horrible emotes, damages your reputation in a way you cannot even imagine.
This necessity of buying and buying to do trash seasonal activities does not incentivise people to spend money. We’d rather wait youtubers to make montages where everything is explained and commented.
Why not instead changing your policy and rewarding active players with a free season pass? Just like Fortnite does. It is not that difficult.
In this way you would:
- reward the players that play EVERY SINGLE DAY your game;
- receive the money form new players that will know that by playing the game, the next season pass will be free. Thus more players will approach the game.
The cost of DLC’s is appropriate, but the season pass policy is only money driven. Your reputation just continues to go down.
And after the mistakes made in the last years, it only makes things worse.
Just a thought form a Destiny 1 day one player.
Btw I have never payed a season pass and will never do it. It is just not worth it.

Because Destiny isn’t a Battle Royale. It is more like MMOs like Black Desert and Elder Scrolls Online. Games that have some form of monthly subscription fees in order to cover the cost of new content. If you just wish to play the pvp part of the game, there is a part of the season pass that is free, and pvp itself is free. But the only game that has free pve content like Destiny is Warframe. However this comes at the cost of an extremely aggressive and constantly in-your-face microspending system. One that shamelessly lets you buy your way around a needlessly grindy base game.

Up till Season Pass 30 for non-season pass holders you can still get rewards. Fortnite has more rewards for non-season pass holders but they don't complain when they purchase the pass for the skins, characters, emotes, and sprays. And Destiny 2 has engrams that are RNG for the eververse store from the previous seasons. Also, the majority of the emotes aren't terrible. If you find todays' emotes horrible then you clearly haven't seen the previous emotes in the past.
