In many insider reports it was stated that Destiny 1 and 2 were burning a lot of money in development, etc. So what I am saying here has both logical reason but will likely be controversial and upset a lot of people. Keep in mind, I suggested a similar idea already around the Witch Queen era. While I really don't want to encourage more nickle and dimming of players, I think Bungie should consider offering an optional subscription service for small conveniences to compensate for on-going development costs. Why I suggest that? Because the more money Bungie had to extract from us players, the more focus they had to put onto the Eververse. Game Studios, despite making games, are still companies that SELL entertainment experiences. They not only want to off-set investment and ongoing costs but also make profit back. Destiny 2 can never go back to Pay2Play. With the Moments of Triumph, Bungie changed how the Eververse works. Walking that generous update with Bright Dust back will ONLY upset people and shatter any growing goodwill players could bring forth in the future. So the only 2 options are selling expansions at a price tag again AND offering a subscription service for more convenience. When I speak of convenience, I am talking about a few things that are possible. Such as: * More vault space * More post master space * A small sum of Silver each month as part of the Sub * More Inventory space * More Loadout slots Things that are useful but don't provide any measurable benefit beyond personal use. No power being sold, no progress being sold. Pure convenience. And maybe some cosmetic benefits. What such a sub would do is provide a constant avenue of revenue for Bungie that can be used to off-set development costs and potentially bridge expansion and game launches without corrupting the quality of content as we had in the past with the Eververse (for example, the store getting better armor sets than some activities). It could also mean more unlockables go back into activity drops itself, like ships, sparrows, ghost shells, etc. as the Store would likely see less attention due to that optional Subscription. For those people that don't want to pay the Sub, nothing changes. For those people that have more money than they can throw at the screen, there is ways for them to spend it without having benefits that are unfairly breaking the game. Again, I am aware this will be likely controversial. But from a business perspective, I don't see Bungie making money any other way unless they either revert the store changes (which will upset people) or raise expansion prices to 70-100€/$ default. So the optional subscription service is really the path of least resistance and harm for this game to go in regards of monetization.
