Destiny 2 Content Vaulting Is Still Unacceptable
As excited as I am for The Witch Queen, it’s impossible to ignore how much of the game we’re losing at the same time. It seems we won’t be getting any more expansions without losing older ones, a system that is wholly unique to Destiny 2 and entirely unacceptable. The Content Vault opened up in 2020 with the release of Beyond Light, swallowing up the Red War campaign, several raids, and nearly half the planets. Next week, The Witch Queen arrives while the Forsaken campaign and the Tangled Shore bid farewell - which is a nice way of saying removed, stolen, deleted from your Steam library. Hope you enjoyed all that content you paid for, because it’s gone now.
Personally, I’m not particularly affected by vaulting. There’s no way I was ever going to play Forsaken again and I don’t have a deep connection to the Tangled Shore. I’ll go there if there are quests to do; I like visiting Spider, but if there’s a shiny new patrol zone to visit - like Savuthun’s throne world - I’d rather be there anyway. I like Warden of Nothing, the Tangled Shore Strike where you infiltrate the Prison of Elders. I don’t care for the other two, Broodhold and The Hollowed Lair, so it’s kind of a wash.

For me, it’s the principle of the matter. When I bought Forsaken, there was no indication that everything it included would only be temporary. I know there wasn’t, in fact, because Bungie didn’t decide to start removing content until the following year. Even now, there’s no indication in the Steam store or on Bungie’s website that this content will disappear someday. At the very least there needs to be something in the fine print that explains this content is only available to rent, not to buy.
