Free to play or free to pay?
So I've been thinking, what do y'all consider destiny as a franchise to be? I've heard the argument that destiny 2 is a free to play game but by that logic ALL gameplay additions like dungeons and areas/expansions should be free for all players to both do and play. This includes story. However most extra added, if not all, is paywalled. While yes I understand Bungie is a company and a company needs to make money or it flops. Destiny by the above logic is not a free to play game. What are y'all's thoughts on the matter?

It’s not free to play. Warframe on the other hand is. [spoiler]nibbles crayon[/spoiler]

[quote]There are several kinds of free-to-play business models. The most common is based on the freemium software model, in which users are granted access to a fully functional game but are incentivised to pay microtransactions to access additional content. Sometimes the content is entirely blocked without payment; other times it requires immense time 'unlocking' it for non-paying players, and paying the fee speeds the unlocking process[/quote] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-to-play
