They don't nickle and dime in the usual way, they have their cosmetic store sure. The real problem is they overvalue the content they add on top of it being FOMO too. But I think Destiny fans will just buy literally anything at this point, so from a purely business standpoint, can you blame Bungie?
That was my biggest issue with it- the FOMO, but it's not nearly as bad as it was. At least it doesn't seem like it. Maybe they'll still prove me wrong. I've only been playing again for a month or so.
But I stopped playing around Shadowkeep, and I got everything since (so I think four or five expansions) for like $35. Which is a solid value considering I mostly just wanted to play the campaigns, and do some funny builds.
It's honestly the best casual shooter going, it's so silky smooth with fantastic clarity. Bungie just struggled with content and constantly changing up the systems.
There was more FOMO at the end than the beginning, the seasonal content loop with "passes" was horrible for it. Forcing certain build metas with their shitty artifact system etc.
I think it's on a bit of a backburner at the moment. The recent episodes were pretty rushed and not very exciting. Who knows what they will do with it. I think Bungie are more focused on Marathon atm.
Yeah and you can still see the impressive art team at play with marathon (in impressed they still managed to keep talented people, seeing how they fired people left and right).
However, is there really a market for extraction shooter these days? The choice of making this kind of game really feel like trend chasing and generaly this doesn't end well...
