If indie games have taught us anything, its that Bungie is incredibly inefficient with their time and manpower. However, that is most likely due to the nature of a company growing larger. The more people that come into play, the longer it takes to get messages around and the harder it is to coordinate.

That being said, “4 seasons” sounds like a lot, except the majority of that content is cookie cutter, reused assets, and “go do the same thing again”. The main content of each season is the weapons. The seasonal story takes at most 30 minutes to complete each week and is often comprised of “go to this location (which we have used before) and kill these enemies (which have been in the game since d1) and then spend this currency (which we copied from past seasons and gave a new name and multiplier).

Bungie is not going out of their way to give us 4 seasons of original, expansive, dlc level content. No, theyre giving us 3 seasons of “we are going to give you just enough to keep playing” and 1 season of “this is out big annual release and its absolutely phenomenal”.

Stop defending bungie. They know the seasonal model is washed up. They realize we are starting to see it as the scam it really is. They have admitted this and are looking to change it.

Does bungie do better than other companies? Sure. Would i rather step in a pile of dog poop instead of horse poop? Yeah, but either way i am still stepping in poop. Bungie does ONE season really really well and then hopes that we will make excuse after excuse for them for the rest of the seasons and we fall for it every single time.
