I don't give a shit what their excuses were or are, there was absolutely no reason (aside from forcing people to buy the new expansions) for Bungie to give the middle finger to literally everyone who had bought the game and the first couple expansions by vaulting it and taking it out of the game.

I remember when it first happened, and people in the Destiny subreddits were actually defending Bungie for the decision. "iT mAkEs ThE gAmE rUn BeTtEr!" bull-fucking-shit. I paid 70 goddamn dollars to play the content that was advertised, not for it to go F2P less than a year after release, them to actually delete the base campaign the game shipped with (along with the expansions), and no one who bought the game got any kind of consolation. Just "fuck you, everyone can play it for free now and we have your money."

Don't get me wrong, I don't necessarily have an issue with it going F2P, just that it was kind of out of nowhere and no one who had actually bought the game got anything from it; not even just a bullshit cosmetic.

ETA: BULL. FUCKING. SHIT. If MCC can get away with having 5 full games in one and still be close to 200gb, then D2 can get away with having the campaign and all expansions available for everyone. Have we all forgotten that ARK: SE is an actual 200gb install? Or even Warzone for that matter? A lot of people won't give a shit about the install size if yours is one of the few games they're actively playing. It's like Bungie wanted to shoot themselves in both feet.

And, by removing the campaign, they ganked the new player onboarding. People had no idea what was happening.

Play Warframe lol. Almost no vaulted content after ten years, and new quests coming out every couple months. 50 gigs.
