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?

It's more than a Season, but not by much. Sure we got three "new" locations, but they're only used for jobs. No Strikes, no Crucible, nothing else. And jobs are all very repetitive. Each one has four objectives, and only one is unique, the other three are all the same. The only reason people are engaging with them now is because they want all the upgrades for the lightsaber. That's it. Take me for example, I haven't touched any jobs on Venus since I got the lightsaber color associated there.
