‘Destiny 2’ Is Now Reselling Old Seasonal Cosmetics For Nine Times The Price

Just when I was giving Bungie credit for taking Destiny 2 armor out of Eververse this season and making it an earned, in-game reward, we now have a situation I’d describe as pretty baffling.

:Shrug: Don’t buy cosmetics. EZ.
Not even disagreeing, but how many “gamers mad at capitalism” rage-bait posts/articles/vids do we need?
- Apparently one for each and every instance of it happening…
  
  Yes, unironically. It doesn't stop happening. If we get too desensitized and passive they'll keep inventing more ways to be terrible.
  It used to be that any monetized cosmetics were already seen as a gross cash grab, now people are thankful it's not gameplay related. But there is also plenty of gameplay related ones too. The gaming industry is just so bad now.
Bungie capitalizing on the FOMO.
- Not even that
  They want to milk the last drops before shutting the game down
  So have fun paying a ton of money for something you won't have access to in a couple years
  
  It's likely a far cry from shutting down, but shutting down is inevitable. Most online only games you only lose access to when they die, but Destiny deletes stuff while it's still alive.
Ah yes, now I remember why I stopped playing this game. It wasn't really that, it was boredom but that makes me hate it more.
I remember when I thought that Bungie self-publishing would make them less evil. But no, they've actually become innovators in being the actual shittiest company that isn't Plarium Games. Maybe they have their eyes on the top spot though? Is that what they're building up to?
JFC…this doesn’t surprise me. After lightfall came out, I dropped the game completely
Destiny 2 is simply the worst
