Bungie is going to sell a 'booster' that unlocks the new Destiny 2: Lightfall subclass on your alt

When Bungie added the Stasis subclass to Destiny in the Beyond Light expansion, one of the chief pieces of negative feedback was that it was too grindy to unlock on your alts. Having acquired the new power on your main character by finishing the Beyond Light campaign, you also had to repeat the entire process on your other toons, including a lengthy time-gated questline. 

I recently asked Bungie if the process would be less painful when it comes to Strand, the new subclass being added in Lightfall, and this was the answer from design lead Kevin Yanes: «The friction [in Beyond Light] was way too high, especially for newer players who were coming in and just wanted to see the new stuff.» Yanes also said that although players will still need to complete the Lightfall campaign on each character to unlock Strand, the subclass would be much more complete at that point than Stasis was.

Today, it turns out that Bungie is going to offer an even lower friction way to unlock Strand on your alts: With money! Slipped in towards the end of the This Week At Bungie blog post is a section dedicated to a new kind of 'booster' which Bungie will be selling once Lightfall launches on February 28. It comes in two forms:

Which I guess is okay to have as an option, but I also think that when people were asking for the unlock process to be less onerous, they did not say «and we'd love to pay real money for the privilege» for very good reason. 

Personally, I don't
