So not only is Destiny 2 becoming F2P, its purchasable content becoming ala carte instead of forcing players to buy
ALL
past content, MTX is also being reduced, P2W mechanics being
ELIMINATED
.
Its no wonder why its regained so many players. Destiny 2 player count regularly goes over 1m now, up from 600k before it broke off from Activision.
Ha! What a joke you quoted the "reduction" of MTX and P2W with the EV store changes! They are not reducing all the loot boxes and EV stores items that can be bought with real money. They are just making them either very very hard or even impossible to obtain from playing the game. They changed it to force-to-pay-or-bust. Same thing with DLCs. If you don't pay real money, you are EXCLUDED for the that content. It is FORCE-TO-PAY but not reduction of MTX.
Read that furious comment from their angered players to sum it up:
I like having all the cool sparrows, the cool emotes, and even the really cool ornaments. In past seasons, I liked going to the store that week to see if something was being sold that I just couldn't miss out on. In this manner, I got nearly everything I wanted for that season, just by playing the game. I'd occasionally spend money on Silver, but only for a couple of weapon ornaments (Whisper and Outbreak).
But these changes you've made to Eververse have effectively killed any chance of me spending my Bright Dust freely.
"By not letting me earn the cool things I want, you are forcing me to have to spend my Bright Dust. But by doing so, you're also forcing me to be much more selective in what I spend it on."

Thank God Jagex is so generous almost everything can be obtained by playing the game. There is no force-to-pay in Runescape.
