Most gamers are not pleased at the idea of paying full-market-value for a video game but being denied access to content that is only accessible to those with more mo
Call of Duty 's billion-dollar sales figures come as little surprise. The series reliably performs remarkably well. Destiny 2 was a slightly riskier project — a follow-up to a new, expensive, and divisive intellectual property — and Activision has reason to be happy with its results thus far. The game, however, has experienced a fair share of controversy — Bungie's handling of in-game progression and downloadable content has left many Destiny 2 players upset (and the developer apologizing). Activision has similarly come under scrutiny for the loot box mechanics of Overwatch , a game developed by Blizzard, one of its subsidiaries. But luckily for Activision, the brunt of player backlash has been directed toward EA, its primary publishing rival, due to Star Wars Battlefront 2 's loot boxes . And so, with a strong year soon to be behind it, Activision has plenty of momentum heading into 2

Releasing on September 4, the first major expansion for the first-person shooter will include two new locations to explore, and a collaborative endgame mode called Gambit.

The Destiny endgame features a variety of activities and playlists that we want to remain relevant to players as they grow more powerful. In Destiny 1 , as your character grew more powerful throughout each expansion, some of our best content, like Vault of Glass , was left behind and lost its relevance for players. We wanted a better solution for Destiny 2 , where all of our Endgame activities could stay relevant as each Expansion causes your Guardian to grow more and more power

Beyond encouraging a „pay-to-win“ mentality, the legality of microtransactions has been called into question. The State of Hawaii launched an investigation into Electronic Arts following the release of Star Wars: Battlefront II , fearing that the game's loot-crate mechanic - in which the players get random items from purchasable crates - might be seen as a form of gambling aimed at children. Similar concerns have been raised by a lawmaker in the United Kingdom , who launched his own investigat
The Destiny 2 Prestige Leviathan raid was originally supposed to go live this week. However, Bungie decided to push it back for another week and has now a new roll-out schedule set on Wednesday, October 18 at 10am PT. The delay is due to the discovery of a serious bug in the level that makes its enemy encounters far easier than they should be. „To allow time to fix this issue, we are delaying the start of the Prestige Raid until next week. It’s important to us that the team who earns World First status doesn't have their legacy tarnished by doubt, skepticism, or uncertainty,“ the company has explained on their website, regarding the hold
Fans have complained loudly about Destiny 2 's lack of a solid post-game. Forsaken is designed specifically to fix that issue, and it looks like Bungie is taking the right steps. More will be known come September, but it players have a good reason to be excited again about Desti
