Destiny 2 has a controversial relationship with its monetization model. The game had a price tag, but Bungie shredded it to make the game free-to-play—though the most significant content is still locked behind purchases.
This convoluted DLC structure also brings a myriad of separate content packs, expansions, and even dungeon keys, creating a constellation of items to buy. This can be particularly daunting if you’re looking to try out the game, or if you’re coming back after a long absence and want to take a breath before opening your wallet.
