Wanna get rid of eververse. Consider this.
So, you think a optional, non-obtrusive, easy to ignore store in the game is bad, or even evil?
Think on this. every piece of content will be behind a paywall, so mayhem would be gone behind a paywall (why give away a free mode when you have to pay people to build it?), nightfall will be behind a paywall (to keep it relevant with ever increasing light levels), the leviathan raid will be gone behind a paywall or become obsolete.(remember in D1 when they didn't keep raids light relevant, i do), bungie needs to pay money to develop things, and businesses need to make a profit. eververse sells cosmetic gear. nothing more, nothing less, and it also provides funding to the studio between expansions. Eververse paid for mayhem, masterworks, the dawning, and all the updates that well get for free, including private matches next year.
So do you want to stop loosing your minds about a trivial ingame function? for me personally. i would rather have eververse than have to buy membership, or premium access, or a DLC every month, which in the long run, will cost everyone more than eververse ever did.

Edited by OopsYourself: 1/3/2018 6:21:05 PMYou realize that they did try and do all of that, right? When the DLC first dropped nightfall’s and the raid were locked out behind a paywall, and the ONLY reason they backpedaled was because it broke Sony/Microsoft’s TOS. Mayhem was already a D1 gamemode, and from what it seems like, most of the “new” free updates are just going to be things that were taken out of D2 that were already in D1. I actually don’t have a problem with micro-transactions at all. I have a problem with RNG lootbox gambling that is specifically designed to be addicting, and get people to spend more money. I actually really like warframe’s system. If there’s something that I want, I just -blam!-ing buy it. I don’t have to roll the slot machine that is other systems. [spoiler]just FYI, D2 would die on a subscription based pay model because everybody would be done with the game in a month. It actually probably would have saved me money. It doesn’t have enough content to even come close to surviving on a subscription based model. [/spoiler]
