Bungie\u2019s looter shooter Destiny 2 has come an awfully long way since its original release back in 2017. From a rocky launch, with a poor-performing first year of DLC, the game was eventually revived with the introduction of the Forsaken expansion. Forsaken wasn\u2019t without its own issues either though, as players quickly ran out of content to run and were looking for something to tie them over until the next major expansion. To counteract this, Bungie introduced seasons, which were self-contained stories that hosted their own cosmetics and activities. These activities and cosmetics generally were removed after the season ended, or removed at the end of the year they were released. Bungie has since brought some of these older cosmetics back, much to the dismay of Destiny 2 players. Destiny 2 players lash out at devs for re-releasing old season cosmetics Destiny 2 players have become outraged after discovering Bungie was offering the old Season of the Undying cosmetics for $15. The season, which was released back with Shadowkeep came out over four years ago, prompting many players to call out the devs for forcing FOMO (fear of missing out). \u201cI too love forcing FOMO into new players,\u201d they argued. Other players complained about the player base purchasing the items, which would in turn incentivize Bungie to price other cosmetics at a similar price. \u201cIt\u2019s not for us. It\u2019s for a small group of people with disposable income. I\u2019ve read they make a couple million per armor set. They\u2019re going to keep dropping them,\u201d one player argued. \u201cBungie makes this stuff and prices it this way because people buy it. You don\u2019t want to pay that much for an armor set? Cool, then don\u2019t pay that much for an armor set. It\u2019s really that simple\u201d Season passes in Destiny 2 cost less than $15, and include more than just the cosmetics for the season, with other in-game rewards for players who play during the season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Destiny 2 players slam Bungie for re-releasing old cosmetics with new price tag BungieDestiny 2 players have slammed developers Bungie for re-releasing Season of the Undying cosmetics from 5 years ago with a new premium price tag.
