I remember when I could earn all the seasonal stuff by just playing the game and contributing to player engagement. Sparrows, ghost shells, armor sets, shaders.... all of it. And then dismantling copies for Bright Dust. If you didn't play a lot, then you could always pay. That was the only acceptable middle ground for that kind of nonsense. But then the shareholders got greedy and the community just let it go with a small whimper and kept pouring money into the product. Destiny is an exquisite example of what happens when you let corporate shareholders determine the direction of a video game. I wouldn't be surprised if majority, if not all of them, could even name 5 characters from the Destiny universe. Make no mistake, we also don't know how much Bungie leadership supports the shareholder decisions. Bungie is slave to the investors, not the players. If the shareholders told them to abandon Destiny tomorrow, there isn't anything they could do to stop it. Players are stupid and will pay for the Bungie brand regardless.
