Microsoft paid bungie to have D2 for 1 year on gamepass. Gamepass is like ps now, nothing is owned and games will expire. If microsoft paid more money to get D2 added to xbox gold instead then there would be no expiration date. Blame microsoft, not bungie.

Microsoft gave bungie a year on gamepass and in that year even with beyond light also on gamepass destiny just couldn't pull enough concurrent players for it to be worth staying on gamepass sadly

Pay the proper price like we all did, Game pass is just like Netfilx. Things get dropped.

I 😂.

So you want access to everything for no cost? Wtf? Gamepass cycles games. The app sends you notification of what's coming & going. I don't usually get this blunt, but.. If you to play everything, BUY everything 🙄

[quote]So let me get this straight for anyone else in the same situation. December 7th - 30th Anniversary pack released. December 8th - Destiny 2 removed from Xbox Game Pass. So to keep current I'm out $35.99 to get Beyond Light back. (Essentially buying the game) Then another $22.49 for 30th. ($58.48) That gets me too February 22nd which is another $39.99. Grand total of $98.47?! Anyone else a little upset by this? <Rant Off>[/quote] No one barely plays Shadowkeep content anyways. Get your exotics while you still can then ignore Shadowkeep. When your Shadowkeep play-rights expire you still get to keep and use any weapon/armor/exotic from Shadowkeep even though you don't own that underwhelming expansion

Feels good on PS. None of this subscription -blam!-. Just buy it outright with no concerns. Dunno why anyone would ever think that a ongoing fairly updated live service game would stay on Gamepass forever.

Timing is probably odd because when they made the game pass deal, witch queen hadn't been delayed. WQ was probably supposed to come out in September. A new season was probably going to start in December. I'm fine with it. You should take to Microsoft about keeping destiny on game pass. Not Bungie, I'm sure Bungie is fine with guaranteed money vs having bro push individual sales.

You forgot about the season passes and buying other dungeons. More like $200 They’re out of their mind

You are right to be a bit peeved by this. I don't know why so many people seem to jump to the defense of corporations that walk all over consumers. I have become dissatisfied with the balance of price versus content ratio in the game over the past year so I don't plan to buy the new stuff. I'm just going to dabble in the free content (which is actually more than people think) until Bungie's mania for sunsetting, vaulting, or otherwise deleting paid content is matched by stuff that offers comparable value in return. Maybe the 30th anniversary and Witch Queen will be compelling, but then again, I thought Beyond Light would be a fresh start but that expansion has been underwhelming, to say the least, when you look at what we got versus what was removed. The big thing, stasis, has been more of a pain than anything. And cool things that were introduced, like the Presage mission, are going to be vaulted. To me, the whole game now, with its endless nerfs, bugs, and tweaks, feels like an ongoing beta version than a mature game hitting its stride. Destiny 2 used to be by far my most played game, but now I am the only one in my clan even checking in for an hour or two a week, let alone playing it seriously. So if you're upset by Bungie's miscues and decisions, then I think you're joining an ever-growing club and that's a pity. Destiny offered a lot of quality experiences, and maybe they will once again. I suggest maybe waiting for a while to see if Destiny improves before shelling out a lot of cash.

Pay to Play...

companies putting games on game pass is nothing more than an extended demo. like the game? go ahead and buy it. don't like it? well, free demo is ending, time to move along.

[quote]Anyone else a little upset by this?[/quote] That'll probably depend on who you're asking. A lot of people paid $170 for Beyond Light, the Anniversary, and Witch Queen. So I doubt they'd be upset at you having to pay something.
