Microtransactions Are Destroying Destiny 2... (Aztecross Reaction)

Same & some people will say everyone is just hating on the game. In reality people are waking up & realizing that much of it is manipulating people to accept shady practices. It’s nice to see people collectively call out Bungie. Just because micros are predatory in many other games does not mean Bungie has to do that to their very LOYAL fan base. We have stuck around through bad DLCs, dry repetitive seasons, lack of support for 2 out of the 3 core playlist modes… the fact that people are still here is pretty crazy. Sometimes I wish I had moved on but I still enjoy the game oddly enough.

Can we talk about how chill Frost is, please. He's supported the game more than most people, they barely give him ANY pvp content for years, and yet here he is. Hats off to you my guy, your content has helped me in the darkest times to rekindle my light and Bungie should reward you and their greater audience so much more.

It's because he's an overall positive guy and gives out positive vibes. He'll probably be well off on other fps games if he decides to move on from Destiny, but he loves the game. There are other options out there like Val, Apex, CSGO, heck even other type of games but Destiny pvp feels unique. I play Val mostly nowadays, moving away from Destiny, but from time to time I come again because I just love how Destiny gunplay works.

The only time bungle will listen to the community and the only time bungie has ever made a change that was better for the community is when it impacted their profits. Destiny has been around for almost a decade, and for a decade the community has been fantasizing on what destiny could be, but with bungie’s design philosophy in mind (purposefully underdeliver) its unlikely that bungie would significantly improve their act, and why would they? Players have been buying their product for a decade, as a destiny player you can either quit or enjoy the game for what it is. Because unfortunately, a lot of criticism falls on deaf ears at bungie.

If people play enough to complete the entire season pass, then odds are they've payed for the season/dlc. So there shouldn't be any more reason to nickle and dime us for these small ass things when we've been getting hardly nothing additional. Remember that we've played thousands of hours for years and we still have hundreds ghosts and ships that we've never gotten from bright engrams while still getting duplicate drops. This only scratches the surface of terrible monetary practices they've been implementing.

[@knowingjake]

I think I've retired from the game. I had an experience that kinda opened my eyes: I was talking to a friend of mine who played D2 briefly during the beginning of it's life cycle and hasn't revisited since that time, so I was explaining where it's at, what it's been doing, the practices, the methods, everything across the spectrum. And his response was absolute shock and disgust, and it wasn't until he told me how bad this is that I was able to sit and consider it... And I think we all as devoted Destiny 2 players NEED someone from the outside to add perspective to the current situation of the games lifecycle and sandbox and practices. Because we're all constantly involved in the game, have been for years, and have been taking all of Bungies small incremental adjustments as "minor inconveniences", we've all developed the mentality that this situation is just normal. It's death-by-bug-bites at it's core. If Bungie had introduced everything that this game is right now in one patch, everyone would have stopped playing immediately. But because it was drip fed to us, our standards have drip-lowered along with it over multiple years. It's effectively a psychologically, emotionally, and mentally manipulative and abusive relationship that we've all just agreed is fine because we don't know any better.

One thing I noticed that I havent seen anyone else mention is that they also changed the eververse calendar so that you can no longer see when certain items will be sold for bright dust anymore. It used to break it down week by week on what was being sold so you know what to look out for to get for only bright dust, and now it only shows all the items that will be sold in the season but does not tell you which week it will be sold. Seems like another intentional ploy by bungie making it harder to get the items you want for bright dust, which in turn makes it more likely you will buy and spend their silver on their overpriced items.

[@_Wolf_x]

You can see what items Will be sold for bright dust, why would not knowing WHEN they are sold be a problem?

[@quailman8238]

No you saw this exact take on the subreddit, don’t act like you came up with this

[@JoshuaDonnieBuller]

@@_Wolf_x because if, lets just say, all I want from the eververse store is the new crimson ornament that makes the sight look better. The way it used to work would allow me to log on in whatever week it was sold, even if I wasn’t actively playing the game that week and make sure I get it for bright dust. The way it works now I would have to log in every single week of the season to check in and see if its being sold, which is not feasible for alot of players that have families and busy lives. The overall point is the change decreases the likelihood that players get the item they want for bright dust, which in turn increases the likelihood they buy it for silver. & the change in the calendar is another undercover change that was made for no other reason that to make more money at the expense of the players, which was the point of this video so I thought it was important to add it to the conversation.

I thought of something. Many people won’t spend money for Eververse but want to earn bright dust. You can get that drip fed from Vanguard, Crucible or Gambit bounties.

The core of the game was fun, however I can not waste anymore time with bungie bc they just prove time and time again they are just not into making a good game.

All the tubers reacting to each other for once they’re using the voices

[@JeighNeither]

Which will do not a goddamn thing because people keep buying the shit. You buy it, Bungie gets away with more shit. It's so clear, but so many people are just commercialized zombies looking for happiness thru buying shit to keep up with the next guy. F'ing morons.

When my man frost whooped out an apron and frying pan 💀💀💀💀💀

[@Bunta1987qwerty]

Look who finally decided to show up to this conversation a couple years late

[@Sam-pr9rr]

Surprised he didn’t bring up the ever verse calendar being removed

[@jasonburrows1875]

It's something we all expected. But it's way to much now.silver is very expensive and .less bright dust items 😢

[@idimebag_163]

20$ a dungeon , here in brazil are 120$

[@Telesto_Timelost]

Reais? Right…?

[@JeighNeither]

You're being just as misleading as Bungie is with this comment. That's simply the currency exchange rate between the two countries $1=0.20 Real. Bungie is not charging you $120 US dollars or the equivalent. Your money goes farther in your country, but when buying a foreign product it's going to have to be profitable for that company so of course it's going to be more expensive than a game developed in Brazil. And the last thing I ever want to do is defend Bungie, but when you're also misleading ppl, I have to.

[@logik1677]

lmao was that a deliverance cut in? @ 14:05 haha

[@samvakarian]

I'm just gonna quote a comment I believe I saw on cross' video - "Its the heartbreaking realization that Activision wasn't exactly the whole issue for D2. It was Bungie all along."

[@DPedrollo]

How can Aztecross walk with those two giant balls between his legs? I love him!

[@sonpikachu6956]

From the beginning, I have been playing Destiny. I didn't really think much at the time that the more something grows, the more inflation takes over. It's really difficult at times to deep think what the possibilities or probabilities are when there are other things to do that can take you away from what is happening to something that you care about. There are some games I have been returning to because the modding community has better care and preservation of the fan base and the games they are modding than most AAA game companies or studios that make them. Bethesda is a big one, but even though they have Skyrim being resold like a recyclable, the mods give new life to old game titles. Even though some of the old games have some jank, it is still refreshing to return and play these games. I'm waiting for Starfield and the modding community that will follow it just to see how far it will go. In the meantime, I have returned to Warframe, and so far, I am trying to find the groove because there have been some changes across the board. I will keep my tabs open to the Destiny community to how things have fared.

[@M0mzSpagheti]

The sad thing is that bungie just has to drop a trailer and everyone will forget about the problems. They will love bungie again like nothing ever happened. I feel like this conversation happens every year until the new “hot” trailer drops.

[@tazzarelli82]

I died when he broke out the frying pan lol.

[@edonakadon]

Cross killed it with this vid like really killed bungie.

[@nailinthefashion]

Like literally tucked them into bed but it was a coffin

[@XaKeR167]

And i don't wanna even touch the subject what the game it was that they release day one, undercooked bullsh*t that was lacking almost everything, they just forgot everything they did in D1 and released D2 in poor shape. They just thrown years of work on D1 into trash. It's absurd.

[@jordan_goes_in4378]

This is the fall. We are here. We seen it happen. They did nothing. Oh well.

[@shericope9103]

ive always known about it i new it when i first saw the eververse store this is what would happen

[@hashim4512]

Can't wait to see datto reacting to frost reacting to cross reacting to datto

[@thunder-cs1jh]

24:23 Honestly Frost you just explained why I bought beyond light cause I was in comp and I was just trying to unlock focusing and I was frozen so many times that I just got tired and bought it
