Destiny got what it deserved. I can't believe it lasted as long as it did. I noped after they started charging $40 for a couple maps and a raid labeled as "expansions". And that was destiny 1. The game was an unbelievable ripoff.

Can't believe people still stuck with it even after they locked down the legacy content. It's crazy how much it takes to get people to stop buying enshittified products.

I agree I don't blame Sony at all. Also I hate myself for it but for me no FPS I've played comes close to the fluid gunplay in Destiny and Destiny 2. That is where Bungie always shined for me above everyone else. The rebooted Doom games are a close 2nd. and there are a few indie titles like Turbo Overkill that get close as well. Everything else just doesn't match up when I get that FPS itch.

Oh I know, the gunplay in destiny really was incredible. And the music and atmosphere was top notch, even though the size of the game and story didn't live up to the prelaunch hype.

It was hard to walk away but I couldn't justify overpaying for dlc that should've been $10, maybe $15 at most.
