Ahead of today's Bungie live stream event, it appears that an inadvertent "oops" moment at Engadget (& its WoW Insider URL) has revealed that a free-to-play announcement may be incoming for Destiny 2. The now-pulled article is titled "Destiny 2 is now free-to-play, including its year-one expansion". In addition, the article's first paragraph indicates that the expansion content would be landing on September 17th.

It's yet an other example of Bungie milking the players who have already bought the base game & expansions. Same happens with the 'last expansions' of both D1 and D2 where you have to rebuy EVERYTHING over again for full price and can't get just the expansion. Same happens now to the upcoming(?) F2P with year 1 DLC. Players who jumped in the game on day #1 are screwed over.
It's just the reason why I've given up on Bungie games in general and haven't bought the latest 'expansion' for D2 - I'm no sucker to pay for the full game all over again.
The game is very high pop and you see people everywhere this is a good thing it will increase the already high pop of the gamr.
Until very, very recently Destiny (1 & 2) were Activision Blizzard game. Bungie developed it and remained the IP holders but it was AB that set the price of the base game, the price of the DLC and no doubt other "features" as well - especially, imo, in Destiny 2.
As far as having to rebuy stuff though Destiny 2 is different to Destiny 1. In the same way that John Wick 3 is different to John Wick 2. Just because you paid to see John Wick 1 doesn't mean you get to see the others for free. Or that you have to buy the latest WoW expansion if you already bought WoW.
Which, I will add, doesn't mean I think that D2 should have been a totally different game. I would have preferred if D2 had extended the D1 "universe". That is different discussion though.
so start to do what I say for a long time here? stop jumping on launch dates, wait for at least a year before you see if its really worthy the money

To correct you this is a standalone dlc/expansion whichbdoes not require forsaken to be bought. So please hold the line until the announcement is done till you rant on something which is not even going to happen.
Funny thing is this will most likely be on steam if its F2P.... i dont know how DLC will get to those invested on the blizzard launcher (like me) and if accounts are transferable to the new platform.
