Yet I can fire up d1 and play every bit of content released over its lifetime (except sparrow racing, maybe?), including every story/campaign mission and quest. Can also play every PvP map!

I've played a ton of MMOs in my time and I've never seen another company remove paid content the way Bungie does. You can try to defend it all you want but it's a bad practice. I understand the practicality but you can't expect people to be okay with paying for something only to have it taken away.

Or they could add content and let the players worry about storage space on thier consoles/pcs. Or they could do what mcc does and allow players to install parts of the game they want to engage with. So if I don't want moon content I won't have moon installed. I'm actually fine with them removing campaigns or planets. I am not fine with them removing any of the following:, 1. Raids 2. Dungeons 3. Strikes 4. Pvp maps 5. Gambit maps

Why shill for the removal of content? Why announce that you have stockholms? Why?

Even though I don’t care that a 3 year old location is going away, a lot of people do. I’ve never played a game that removes older dlc content, even if it’s because destiny’s spaghetti code can’t handle it bungie should’ve just made a new game instead of trying to support one which has to have content removed to keep going. Not sure how true it is, but I read that the content vaulting started because bungie changed a lot of code behind the scenes and had to update everything. They didn’t feel like updating certain activities with low player counts so they removed them. If this is the case then why is vaulting still a thing?

New players and “solo players” who barely play all mad that campaigns are going away need to realize this ain’t a single player game or a free to play game. Anyone who actually plays spends a lot of money every year. It is what it is. If the current system isn’t your thing it’s not going to change. You should play a different game.

People put videos of themselves talking about Destiny on tik tok?

But what about my 6 year old content that less than 1% of people still interact with

Yea but these peoples don't use logic They live in a fantasy world where everything they think and wishes is facts They honestly think that it would be possible to keep everything and add new stuff with no issue.....armchair developer with no basic knowledge

While I personally don’t have an issue with content getting vaulted, I want to play Devil’s advocate for a minute. Bungie never clearly disclosed that paid content would be removed from the live service during the game’s life span. Had they been forthcoming from before D2 even launched people could have made more informed purchase decisions. Some may not have pitches D2 if they knew the content would only be accessible for a max of 3 years. Almost no other game works like this. Where the older campaigns become inaccessible while the servers running the game are still active. You may not be able to play under the old rules and leveling system or economy, but you’re more than welcome to replay those old story threads. In fact the amount of content can be used as a marketing ploy to get people to finally jump in for the low low price of the last expansion or two, being able to play years worth of content. Yes this isn’t too different than if Bungie had shut down the D1 servers when ShadowKeep or Beyond Light released. People still enjoy going back and playing D1, even if most of us have long since move on. But unlike that scenario D2 is the current game getting supported with content and sandbox updates. We’re not playing Destiny 3. And it was Bungie’s choice not to hit the “reset” button by releasing a D3 to have a fresh start, not our choice. Had they done so with BL they would not have needed to remove any campaign stories. We would have a new game with only the content Bungie wanted or could include at its release.

Please bugger off with the "renting" excuse.
