Keep hyping the game, throw your money at the screen, and enjoy the exact same sh*t show cycle with Destiny 3.
Maybe Forsaken will make the game better, but everything about their marketing screams "desperate" in my ears.
They literally bought or rented a media outlet for months so they can hype the game up on a daily basis (and they wonder why people lose trust in gaming journalism), they killed the most famous ingame character months before actual release of the expansion to draw attention to the game again, they even give the base game away for free via Playstation Plus, they let people play expansion content 3 days before the release of Forsaken and then even make their developers play with the community to pretend that they care.
Bungie doesn't care about anything but lying their way up to profit.

It seems like you are pretty upset with the whole "marketing" side of bungie - I don't think you even care about the expansion whether it is good or not. Anyone who is anybody who has made a game that has blown up and is popular with a wide fan base which has an expansion coming into the game does the same marketing strategies every time to us and i can guarantee you've bought a DLC for another game in your life havn't you but in the end it all comes down to whether you enjoy the game or not - If you don't you'll think its a complete waste of money and that its bad - If you do you'll spend the money and think it was a good spend. Every company has drawn you in to buying their DLC or extra content the same way anybody else has for the past few years. Nothings changed.

I don't know any gaming studio where the discrepancy between marketing promises and the actual content delivered is as wide as with Bungie. All their creativity and money goes into marketing, when they "can't" even invest into dedicated servers for their game.
