A former Destiny 2 developer has spoken out about a serious mistake by Bungie that fans can't forgive even years later. The essence of the problem is that with the release of the "Beyond Light" expansion, content that players had already paid for was removed from the game.
In the Destiny community, this process is called the "Content Vault" - deleted materials, including the "Red War" campaign, the "Curse of Osiris" and "Warmind" expansions, several raids, and the Forsaken campaign, were seemingly sent to a "safe."
Max Nichols, a former Destiny developer, described the "content vaulting" process and his role in it on his website. Nichols worked at Bungie for over 9 years, creating new missions and modes, updating old content, and participating in the Content Vault.
According to Nichols, "Beyond Light" brought a major engine update that was incompatible with all existing materials. Content had to be re-transferred, counting labor costs and the number of new employees. Nichols personally oversaw the hiring of 20 junior technical designers.
