Former Bungie chief legal officer Don McGowan credits Sony’s discipline for pushing Bungie to focus on new player acquisition and running Destiny 2 like a business, shedding light on behind-the-scenes changes at the studio.

Destiny 2 has seen a whirlwind of changes recently, and according to former Bungie chief legal officer Don McGowan, much of that is thanks to Sony’s influence. 

In a new post on LinkedIn, McGowan didn’t hold back his thoughts, saying that Sony has pushed Bungie to make much-needed adjustments to how it handles its flagship game, Destiny 2.

I'm not upset they "introduced" DLC (because the first one had paid DLC too), but I am very upset that they decided to remove all the content that I had paid for when I initially bought the game.

And that there was no consolation when it went F2P. It was just "hey it's F2P play now, give us more money." Not even a shader set or something equally useless.

Going F2P was shitty from my perspective, but going F2P and removing all the content I'd paid for already.. yikes.

What absolutely killed it for me is when they started including important story information in battlepasses. I stopped playing for awhile, and then started doing a new expansion only to find out that my light had been reset, half my favorite guns were literally useless, and on top of all of that I couldn't really follow the plot anymore because they had introduced an entirely new hub area I'd never seen, and several new characters that they just expected me to know.
