Destiny 2 players have slammed developers Bungie for re-releasing Season of the Undying cosmetics from 5 years ago with a new premium price tag.
Forsaken wasn’t without its own issues either though, as players quickly ran out of content to run and were looking for something to tie them over until the next major expansion. To counteract this, Bungie introduced seasons, which were self-contained stories that hosted their own cosmetics and activities.
These activities and cosmetics generally were removed after the season ended, or removed at the end of the year they were released. Bungie has since brought some of these older cosmetics back, much to the dismay of Destiny 2 players.
Destiny 2 players lash out at devs for re-releasing old season cosmetics
Destiny 2 players havebecome outragedafter discovering Bungie was offering the old Season of the Undying cosmetics for $15.
The season, which was released back with Shadowkeep came out over four years ago, prompting many players to call out the devs for forcing FOMO (fear of missing out).
“I too love forcing FOMO into new players,”they argued.
Other playerscomplained about the player basepurchasing the items, which would in turn incentivize Bungie to price other cosmetics at a similar price.
“It’s not for us. It’s for a small group of people with disposable income. I’ve read they make a couple million per armor set. They’re going to keep dropping them,” oneplayer argued.
“Bungie makes this stuff and prices it this way because people buy it. You don’t want to pay that much for an armor set? Cool, then don’t pay that much for an armor set. It’s really that simple”
Season passes in Destiny 2 cost less than $15, and include more than just the cosmetics for the season, with other in-game rewards for players who play during the season.
