Destiny 2’s Subscription Model Woes: Bungie’s Leadership vs. Player Sentiment
Upon learning that Bungie might switch to a subscription model, gamers quickly voiced their opinions. One player humorously expressed disbelief with “Nah bruh lmao,” suggesting doubts about the feasibility of such a model given the current community’s feelings. Many are concerned that a subscription could cause an immediate and permanent drop in player numbers. This fear is shared by players who have already spent significantly on expansions and in-game purchases, as they feel apprehensive about having to pay more for access to content. A user summed it up plainly: “They need to choose between a subscription model or paid expansions. They can’t do both,” highlighting the confusion and exasperation surrounding Bungie’s monetization plans. This suggests that Bungie could lose the loyalty of its most dedicated fans if they persist with multiple payment options, indicating a larger concern about their approach to player engagement.
