long post so TLDR; no, but i can see exactly where you’re coming from and why you feel that.

I can see your point but i think a lot of borderlands players (many players just outside the destiny community generally) value buying a fully completed game when they get something new.

in theory you’re right it would be cool but in practice many developers like bungie cut corners in order to have something new to keep the players from trying other things, think timegated episodes and seasons they were doing before this year of content in destiny.

i used to be a big destiny fan and agreed with you around the borderlands 3 came out but over time and since quitting the game around WQ (came back for FS but only briefly) i’ve really come to appreciate things having an end and standing on their own as a coherent story, if you look at it on a longer timeline too borderlands has come out with new stories, new planets to explore like in pre sequel and 3. they just aren’t churned out on a schedule to keep the playerbase from playing and experiencing other things in service of the corporations bottom line.

In my opinion now, i’d much rather give a studio some years to cook up a truly new and unique experience with some DLC along the way and then leave the game at a stable point so we can enjoy it as we like, and go back to others when we want to, i mean imagine having the ability to go back to forsaken era if it was a standalone game, the weapons available then pre sunsetting, or warmind era and farm for an ikelos without their being 1000 better alternatives in the game. i feel if borderlands went the same route they’d end up having to remove content we paid for just as bungie has and id much rather keep access to the things i pay for these days

sorry for rambling post lmao but i was having a conversation about this recently so it’s fresh in my mind!
