Destiny 2 also happens to be a total confusing mess if you simply want to try to get into it now rather than seven years ago.

When Destiny started, Bungie was tied to Activision and whenever there were design decisions people hated, they blamed Activision for them.

Then Destiny 2 launched, Bungie was able to buy out the Activision contract, and everything went to shit.

Turned out, Activision had been the voice of reason the whole time.

Bungie started eliminating story missions, vaulting content people had paid for, including a full 1/2 of the base game and multiple expansions. They sunset gears and weapons people spent hundreds of hours earning and curating because they claimed they didn't know how to develop scenarios for them any more.

A full Sony takeover would be a huge improvement over what Bungie has done since separating from Activision.

When they started vaulting content I had paid for is when I stopped playing.

I would love to love Destiny again... =(

You and me both. I dropped the game cold when they vaulted the content. It was clear Bungie did not respect my time or my money.

Since then I saved $230... and it will be more since I won't be buying Bungie content going forward.

Beyond Light - $50
Witch Queen - $80
Lightfall - $100
