Oh hey, it's me. After a solid hiatus, I came back to the game just before Beyond Light but this season had to step away, possibly for good. For me, it wasn't just how terrible Lightfall was (and it is terrible). I don't even care about PvP being neglected, though that is a huge L for that crowd. For me it's just the hyper aggressive escalation of their monetization for the game. And frankly, I thank them for it because after Destiny 2, I'm adding "live service" to the list of criteria that make me dodge a game entirely. I'm not an ATM, I'm just here to enjoy a game.

I also stepped away for good because it became apparently clear Bungie is in the process of milking their fan base. The game has never been as monetized as it is right now and the price also got increased. They even killed whatever interest I had in the new Marathon game, because there's no reason they wouldn't pull the same shit there. Their videos about Marathon definitely felt like the same overhyped shit they make for Destiny.
