I mean I bought it full price, but that was two years ago? The base game has already been dirt cheap for a while. Not to mention if you've been playing from day 1 you've had two years of access to the game, so the $60 wasn't exactly lit on fire.

By waiting. The exclusivity deal was timed. Then they didn't sign another.
This is pretty much what I expected when they announced the split from Activision. When D2 went free on battle.net and was a PS+ game, lots of new players came in and found that Destiny is basically fun, despite all often warranted criticism.
Sucks about the lack of PSN cross save though. I know a lot of players who've already jumped ship to PC, but I can't face grinding out all my gear again. The September content drop might just be the best place to cut my losses and move over though.

Activision already let them go, sure the deal was with between them, the publisher and Sony
Wow. That's a big move, and a welcome one. Transitioning towards just one ever-living game I assume is the goal, one I'm looking forward to.
Is part of this due to Bungie and Activision ending their partnership? Interesting if Bungie has managed to retain all the rights to the game and is free to move it to any platform(s) that it wants (removing from Battle.net and putting it on Steam).
I paid full price when it came out. The games been out for a bit. I'm fine with this. It'll get more people playing. Sony needs to let up and enable cross save.
Games get discounted all the time. How's this different than games being 50%+ off weeks after release?
Holy shit! Yeah I will definitely start playing it then. They aren't with Acti anymore and look what they do, wow.
No PS4 cross save is a huge miss. I guess I'm stuck, as I'm not starting over on a different platform at this point.
Yeah, the 600 hours of fun I've spent on it didn't justify the cost at all. FUCK THEM FUCK THEM AAAARRHH INTERNET PAIN
You could literally say this when any game goes on a sale. For us that play Destiny having it go f2p will blow up the userbase. This is only good news.
That's big. Goddamn.
I kinda expected them to ditch the '2' in the name and eventually port forward the D1 content into the D2 framework, though. Don't really understand why they need the "New Light"-subtitle.

Having purchased the game twice at close to full price, plus every expansion (forsaken twice as well), I'm actually really digging this news. The barrier for entry was always a little too high
That happened long ago when Bungie and Activision gave the game away for free on both PS+ and BNet.
Holy shit what a bombshell. I love it. I gotta get back into Destiny 2. I stopped after Forsaken. I didn't buy the annual pass so I never tried any content after getting to Power 600.
Holy shit - awesome news. I have always said that they should make the base game and Legacy content Free-To-Play, and only charge for sequels & expansions within the first year of their life. Selling new releases is too hard when they have to have all these disclaimers ("Requires ownership of Destiny 2, Expansion I, Expansion 2").
I
did not see this coming
the move to steam or going f2p
like it always seemed like a distant possibility more than something that'd become reality

Maybe the deal was between Activision and Sony and now that Bungie is free from Activision, it voids the Sony deal?
Crazy move, but I think I'm still done with it. Went all in with Forsaken and played the shit out of it for weeks and then never had the feeling to play more. I'm still so saturated.
Don't buy expansions now. The new expansion this fall includes all the previous ones. You will be able to pre-order the new expansion and get access to old ones immediately.
