Destiny 2 Fans Are Frustrated With Bungie After Recent Content Vault Announcement

✖

Within the past day, Destiny 2 developer Bungie revealed that it would be adding a substantial amount of existing content in the game to the Destiny Content Vault (DCV) early in 2022. Essentially, this means that certain missions, maps, and a lone raid that were previously playable in Destiny 2 will no longer be accessible in perpetuity. As you might expect, even though the DCV has been around in Destiny 2 for over a year now, many fans were quite frustrated with the studio to see that more playable content will soon be disappearing.

Not long after Bungie made this new announcement related to the Destiny 2 DCV, fans began to flood social media with their own responses. While some understood where Bungie was coming from with this decision, others found it ridiculous that playable portions of the game would essentially be getting retired altogether. Some stressed that no other video game in recent history has ever done something like this, so why does Bungie think it needs to be done with Destiny 2?

By far the most common complaint about this matter though is that some Destiny 2 fans paid actual money for the content that is going away. Specifically, Bungie happens to be retiring a majority of the Forsaken expansion, which was released back in 2018. Although many Destiny 2 fans have surely played Forsaken at this point and no longer dabble with its missions and additional content, the fact that Bungie will outright be taking that expansion away, even though customers paid money for it, is ludicrous in the eyes of some players.

As a whole, what do you happen to think about this move from Bungie? Do you think it's fair for the studio to retire old Destiny 2 content to make way for new expansion material in the future? Let me know either down in the comments or on Twitter at @MooreMan12.

Raids Must Be Protected at All Costs

Please bring back all raids and keep them safe from the Destiny Content Vault. ?

Aaaand It's Gone

Ha! Forsaken is quite literally my favorite content in Destiny 2, and the expansion that finally convinced me that they could right the ship after a fairly disastrous transition to Destiny 2. I've paid for it three times over.

For shame.https://t.co/UtwgAD3otJ

Can't Get Down With the Vaulting Practice

Alloying companies like @Bungie to vault content that you paid for is a practice that I can't get behind and will continue to speak out against.

Lost Like Tears in the Rain

Bungie is decommissioning Destiny's 'Taken King' moment, where the game suddenly became great after a shitty launch. One of the game's best locations and its best campaign/story arc will soon be gone, living on in only YouTube videos. https://t.co/5NVzeX0Wiq

The DCV Is the Worst

The Destiny Content Vault has to be the single most frustrating thing about this game. If there really is no other solution then it's the definition of a necessary evil, because man I hate it's entire existence. Everytime Bungie mentions it I dread what we're loosing next.

Make the Best Out of a Bad Situation

Unpopular opinion? I'm perfectly OK with the DCV. If this is the necessary step to allow new content to thrive then so be it. I'm sure Bungie wouldn't take such measures unless they absolutely had to. Making the best out of a bad situation. I won't be enjoying the game any less.

Bungie Can Always Bring Back Old Content

Unpopular opinion incoming. Please don't cancel me.

I don't mind the content purge. I'm ready for the new shit. Besides, Bungie can always re-introduce shelved content. Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

In the meantime I'll be grinding Witch Queen, Season 16, 17, 18, 19...

You Paid Money for Forsaken? Well, Too Bad

MotherFUCKERS.

Bungie are deleting another full-priced expansion from the game. You paid $40+ for it? Welp, it's disappearing soon.

No other MMO does this, or has ever done this. https://t.co/Cky3aMe2Nr
