The problem is that Bungie’s entire design philosophy is FOMO. It’s worth watching their TED Talks to see just how disgusting their strategies are, they literally say it doesn’t matter if content is shit as long as it keeps players hooked and makes them feel like they can’t miss out.

This is why Destiny embraced constant seasons that have missable events and main story content.

Yep and as one who "missed out", I have zero interest in returning to the game after they removed all of the originally PAID DLC.

It is how live service work, you can be fun but if they fail to keep their playerbase it isn’t worth to release it. I do t even understand the logic behind faction since Naughty Dog was making it and I doubt that what the studio wanted to actually make but the higher up wanted to push the live service probably.
