So after playing through Renegades, I can’t shake the feeling that what we got here is basically the size of an old season, just with a different price tag.
Think about it, short campaign, one seasonal style activity, an exotic mission, new weapons, seasonal grind structure.
All of this is about what we used to get for $10 in a season, not $40 for a full expansion. In the past, this kind of content drop would’ve slotted right in with Season of the Wish, Heresy, etc. The only major difference now is the price and the label “expansion.”
I’m not saying it’s bad content, the campaign was fun, the exotic mission is solid, and the weapons are cool. But the amount just doesn’t feel like an expansion. It feels like we bought a large season and it’s being stretched to last a year.
I want to support Bungie, I want Destiny to thrive, but value matters. If this is the future model, then expansions need more meat, or the price needs to match the content.
Would love to hear how others feel… am I alone in this?

The new "location" hub is more like glorified wallpaper. As lifeless as Anthems "Tarsis" hub. Yet another derivative coincidence I suppose. They didn't even bother to voice the clan bosses. Dead, dull and dormant.
