Destiny 2 currently has 280k players on Steam
- Thread starter Strakt
- Start date
Didn't they make it F2P because the numbers fell so low?
Also don't you think by week 2 it will drop like a rock?
I retired the game after they nerfed Skull, that was when I had enough believe it or not. Not just because of that nerf, that update really pissed me off. So I left after solid everyday play since D1Beta.

Lol no. The game had a million daily active players across all platforms when last season started.
I dipped out of Destiny shortly after the Taken King but I must admit I'm tempted to jump back in.
Should I? Is it good?

Its free so try it out. Theres a new player guide on bungies website since you'll probably be overwhelmed with the insane amounts of content they offer for free players. Its a good game if you like looter shooters with grind and they also have 3 campaigns you can do as a free player.
Like Strakt said, its free so at least give it a try. If you enjoyed the first game at all, you'll pro enjoy the state of the D2, and there is so much to do in the free version, it's ridiculous.
The treadmill is still there, but there's tons of different activities now to keep you occupied.
I had the PSPlus version in my library. Is that an inferior version compared to the free to play one?
I played the opening last night and there's so much content now it's daunting. Looking forward to playing.
Imagine being one of the people who said it would be "very fortunate" to break 80k concurrent.
The F2P version is much better than the PS plus version which was just year one of the game, nothing more.
Shit! Is there anyway to change versions? Or because I have the psplus version in my library am I buggered?
LOL no the past season before going F2P (June to October) the game consistently had 1+M daily active for a long time. Plus, we are currently in week 2 now.
Everyone has the same game, if you boot it up right now you'll see New Light. It's not a new release, it's just an update to your existing game.
They made it F2P because that's what makes sense for the GaaS business model. The point is to widen the funnel and get as many people invested into the product as possible, and hope that some (generally stable) percentage of them monetize.
They wrote like a 10 paragraph essay on why they had to nerf it. It makes sense. We were getting too strong and it was impacting the game they wanted to make.
Im sure it made sense, but That was just the cherry on top for me, its like you took away the only thing I enjoyed about the game, nerf, nerf nerf Skulls and Orpheus rig really pissed me off. .........I had a meltdown, and stopped playing a game which I had devoted hours to every day since D1 beta. I had to draw a line.
Im glad everyone is enjoying though. Maybe one day I will jump back in for D3.

Yeah. You need to go to bungies website to do it.
I don't know if this is the direct link but it's on this page,

Also, if I buy ShadowKeep on PS4/XB1 for example, will I have access to it on Steam?
I mean they were broken right? You're not supposed to be casting your super every 30 seconds. We always knew it was going to happen. But I'm surprised they let us have that as long as they did.
Phoenix Protocol was the least effected, Riggs still works sometimes.
No, you won't have access to it on Steam (unless something has changed very recently). Shadowkeep and Forsaken are not crossbuy. If you buy it on PSN, you don't get it automatically on Xbox, for example.
Thank you all. Will have to decide on a platform before buying it then.
As a side note, the game also jumped up to #6 on Xbox most played chart. It was previously outside the top ten before last week iirc.
I don't see why not. I would have to try it, but that should be the same as plugging a controller into your PC--which works just fine. Check your button maps.
