20 Great Video Games That Everybody Turned Against

Bungie’s output for the past decade has hinged on one game series: Destiny. The 2014 first game was a major player in transitioning from offline-but-with-online-play to the online-first model that has come to dominate so many of the biggest spaces in gaming over this period. And despite trepidation from some older gamers on release, it did so well that it teed up a sequel just a few years down the line.

Destiny 2 takes place in a mythic, alternate version of the universe, where we take charge of a Guardian, defending Earth's last safe city to protect humanity from invading alien races and the impending Darkness. Since then, the story has been shaped and built-out by a series of expansions in “Year” format. And fans were here for it, until Year Four…

With the release of the Beyond Light expansion in 2020, Destiny 2's base campaign The Red War, as well as the campaign content from expansions Curse of Osiris and Warmind were removed from the game entirely. Bungie dumped them in what it calls the Destiny Content Vault, and made them no longer accessible to players, claiming the game had become too unmanageable and had to be scaled back. And, needless to say, there’s not a player out there who had plugged time and money into 2 that didn’t take umbrage with this.
