I feel like season of the undying would have been more accepted if there was no option to buy just the season, and you either got it with shadowkeep or not at all. If it was part of shadowkeeps content, then people would probably be less like "You made me spend ten dollars for this?" even though most people didn't spend those ten dollars, they just bought shadowkeep and got it with it. Not to say that what we got was good. Vex offensive was not very enjoyable past the first week, and that was most of what the season had to offer. The argument for it being that this dropped alongside shadowkeep because it was being developed at the same time as it. The reception of season of dawn depends entirely upon whether or not it has more content than season of undying, because that same level of content won't be enough to sustain a playerbase when we don't have a dlc launching alongside it. From what it looks like though, we are getting more, and more substantial, content than we did with undying, unless bungie revealed all their cards in that single trailer. And at the very least, people won't be able to complain that all the content is reskinned.
