Which model to bring new content to the player is the best for Destiny 2? We wanted to know from you in a survey. The answer is clear: The current way is not very well received. Read what the MeinMMO readers wish for the future of Destiny.
What is the survey about? Recently, we launched the survey: Which way should Destiny 2 go – DLCs or Seasons? Since Bungie has tried many ways over the last few years to make Destiny attractive and fresh with additional content, we were curious about your responses.
Your votes paint a very clear picture. After we presented the evaluation to you, we will also take a look at your interesting comments on the topic.
The results are in
In our survey, over 2200 MeinMMO readers participated actively so far. Everyone had only one vote available. The distribution of this is as follows:
This is the clear front-runner: The response option “I wish for separate DLCs again” received by far the most votes. 1147 readers think this way, securing an absolute majority of 51%.
And this is how the other votes are distributed: The support for the other options is divided as follows:
- I find the current seasons great and see potential – 551 of you agree. With 25%, that is the silver medal.
- I can’t decide, all models have their merits – lands in 3rd place with 364 votes. At least 15% share this opinion.
- Give me a new annual pass – slipped past the winner’s podium with 140 votes and 6%.
- None of those, see in the comments – 75 readers, or 3%, clicked this option, making it the least mentioned answer.
Our community speaks up
This is why you want DLCs: Just as with the voting, you showed your engagement in the new comment section. Not surprisingly, many of you advocated for larger, separate DLCs.
I prefer playing 2 large DLCs per year instead of getting piecemeal story snippets thrown at me. Also, there are many quests that are simply stubborn grind and steer the game in a direction I do not like.

This statement hits the nail on the head. You prefer to immerse yourself fully in the world of Destiny. True to the motto: Rather a lot at once than a little at a time.
Another aspect of DLCs is addressed in your comments. You would have no problem paying deeper or more often for a decent chunk of content.
As “v AmNesiA v” says: “I have no problem paying 20-30 euros for a decent DLC every 3 months and then 40-50 € for a big expansion every autumn.”
The current seasons are also receiving support: Despite all the demand for DLCs, you also find good arguments for the season model. This way, the Guardians receive smaller, but new reasons to indulge in the Destiny universe every week.
So I support the season model. […] There was a DLC, after a week the excitement was gone and my hunter was unemployed.

As a byproduct of this procedure, it is positively highlighted that you do not run the risk of being overwhelmed by content or falling behind. Also, the lower price of the individually available seasons, if not liked, does not weigh as heavily. As “Frau Holle2” writes: “The good thing about the seasons is: if you don’t like something, you only wasted a tenner. “
You want the best of both worlds: In an ideal world, developer Bungie would bring both content-rich DLCs and thematic seasons concurrently. Unfortunately, this vision is not very realistic.
In the end, there will be no solution that satisfies all Guardians. You also notice that both DLCs and seasons can entertain you well. It ultimately depends on the actual implementation. In this context, “Alfred Tetzlaff” commented: “Both can deliver substantial content or lead to a drought (as is currently the case).”
Were you surprised by the results or was the outcome already clear as mud? What do you think, will Destiny stick to the current season model in the long run and be able to exploit its potential?
