The point I was trying to make is you can't play the old campaigns anymore. The old campaigns are gone. New players are stepping into beyond light not knowing who the fuck any of these people are, or what the significance of darkness is. If they're f2p they don't even have that, just the seasonal shit that is tied to campaigns they didn't even do. The model sucks and alienates new players while older players drop off. I started in season of the forge and loved it. I played for years until the grind became too repetitive for me and I haven't touched it in ages and probably won't ever again. Sure, it's cheaper than a sub, but the amount of content we get for it? Not worth. And locking weapons behind unplayable DLC is the scummiest shit I have ever seen.
Oh, I understand, thanks for explaining. Yeah, the inability to play the Red War saga is sad. I dropped off kind of soon after the Red War. If there weren't YouTubers with lore videos, I'd be really lost now.
So, unlike a TV show, you can't go back and enjoy it from episode 1, you just have to strap in and hope you can hold on while they fling content at you to see if something sticks. Like what they're doing with the new Crucible mode, Checkmate, they're going to use it to change all of Crucible.
