In their defense, Destiny 2 did morph into a vast turd over its lifetime. Terrible story, terrible characters, repetitive gameplay, zero innovation. Gog is full of 15$ games with much more to offer than Destiny 2 ever had. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

I think they had the ideas guy in once every couple years and then they just reused the shit of the mechanic he came up with at that time.
