Now Bungie have split from Activision/Blizzard and have moved platform to steam is anyone going to give them another chance?
I wholeheartedly believe Activision have always been the ones who have cut up existing parts of the game and milked it for every penny as DLC, Hopefully with Bungie back in sole control the game will be what it should have always been!.
Also, anyone who played on Battlenet can port their characters over to steam by logging I to the destiny website and linking there steam account.
I intermittently play this.
My Titan has just started the forsaken xpac and is around level 36.
I already have setup my account to be ported over to steam for next month.
Have transferred all data across, will reserve jusgement on whether i buy shadowkeep or not, thanks for heads up
I'm on Destiny 2 just about every night, picked it up for free & then brought Forsaken & the season pass & haven't stopped playing since.
Ahh then do you know why they are removing it from blizzard launcher thingy??
No idea, I'd figured Blizzard & Activision we're just best buddies & as Bungie aren't friends with Activision anymore Blizzard aren't allowed to play with them any longer, you know how it is with kids & stuff like this these days, nothing's ever simple.
Bigger potential audience on steam maybe? now Bungie are going it alone they need all the players they can get & Blizzard don't like to share games?

Bungie decided that Activision had too much control over how they wanted the Destiny franchise to work so they bought back the publishing rights - they already owned the IP and everything else.
The split seems to be fairly amicable for both sides as Destiny was the only game where they published but didn't own the IP.

Thank you for the information guys was just wondering. Knew one of us would know.
Right, so this is going free to play, but you are unable to buy in battle.net. Does anyone have a humble bundle key or something like that laying around that they are not going to use? :P
In a couple of weeks the game will be free on Steam Oth, not the full version obviously, but enough to see if you like it or not.
Check your messages Oth. Might not work but if it does I have a key for the expansion. I think Pen asked for it a while back but changed his mind.
Just finished Forsaken on my Titan and hit 50.
Have pre-purchased Shadow Keep.
I've been really enjoying it so far. My concern is that I've now hit the end game (until Shadow keep - lol) and am wondering what to spend my maxed out glimmer on.
And investigate things like gambit, crucible, iron banner, etc.
Gambit can be quite fun, it's basically PvEvP, Crucible & Iron Banner are basically the same thing with Iron Banner just being a themed variant of something you already get in crucible, as for other things, there's stuff like the whisper to get & other guns - I'd say grind your way up to 750 light but come the new light release I think everything's getting bumped up to it anyway.
Destiny 2 is now available to pre-load in steam!
Thanks for the tip, I'll have it ready for the LAN etc :-D
used to be a few of us that played it twyst but yeah the endgame was a bit lacking.

thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuu
What I don't get is having bought Destiny 2 and the DLC on Battle.net, it's become a free game and literally they want us to pay near full new game price for the new DLC?
Or am I wrong?
I'm going back in because it's free to play and now it's under full Bungie control I wish to give them a second chance. I too played D2 and the 2 DLC's on battlenet before forsaken but everything was off compared to D1 IMO. Hoping to play it again for free and if I enjoy the content, updates, balances and game play changes i'll happily throw bungie £30 for the new content.
Just for reference the base game is 80GB and the new update is rumoured to be another 80gb. I'll obviously wait for release, reviews and full info though before buying.
just for those of you returning or fancy a go, this is what's in the new free version -

I’m pretty enthusiastic about trying this with other dMwers as I missed the rush when it first came out.
I've only been playing since the base game was free on a deal sometime around when Forsaken was released, so i missed the start & any problems it had & I have to say I've enjoyed it alot, haven't played anything else at all since really.
make sure you migrate your D2 account from battle.net to steam

Their business model seems to be buy the latest XPAC at full game price and get everything else before for free.
It's an interesting move .... people who really enjoy it keep paying and playing while it encourages new people to take it up and get everything included.
Been looking at Shadowkeep, don't think you get Forsaken content as I can't find reference to it but you do get the season pass. Also found the below if like me you already have the season pass
*Season Pass redeemed when logging in. If players already own the current Season Pass, they will receive credit toward future Seasons up until Season 11. Any credits beyond Season 11 will be exchanged for an equivalent value of Silver.
Most places have it for £29.99 but green man gaming email a voucher for 16% off valid till 31st code is "SK16"
I'll certainly get the expansions once I've done the free solo content.
And i caved enjoying the game alot and i get to try out the other ults now ;)
And now forsaken is on sale in steam for £11.99 !
God damm it !! Seems worth it for that much though there are a good few more quests and exotic quests in this dlc
Thanks for the headsup, purchased :)
Note: You don't get Forsaken with Shadowkeep. I'll probably buy Shadowkeep when I've caught up with the content.
Echo, I bought it on Saturday.
Super Ditto, thanks for the shout on the reduced price of Forsaken!
