Online Games That Would Benefit From Going Free to Play in 2019
Destiny
The news of Destiny developer Bungie splitting from Activision was met with jubilation. With their focus now on Destiny 2, why not keep the feel-good vibes going with a free release of Destiny?
Released in late 2017, Destiny 2 continues to be a big success today. This leaves the first Destiny game as a bit of an afterthought. One of the best ways for Bungie to hype up the community and support their sequel would be to make Destiny free to play.
It’s been many years, but the first Destiny is still a great game and it’d make an excellent appetizer for bringing in fresh blood for Destiny 2. This would obviously cause Destiny to see a rise in players, but I think it’d do great things for Destiny 2, too. If new players realize that the first game is worth playing, a boom in Destiny 2 sales is sure to follow.
This would be a great gesture to the gaming community and also show loyal Destiny 2 fans that they’re committed and dedicated to developing the game. Giving away Destiny for free could be Bungie’s way of waving a final goodbye to the title while devoting all efforts and resources into Destiny 2.
After their divorce with Activision, Bungie was applauded. This is one more way that they could win the hearts of gamers.
