Destiny 2 dataminers reveal they faked plans for a premium subscription to "troll" players
"♈We just wanted to formally apologize andℱ admit that we trolled everyone"

Destiny 2 dataminers have revealed that theღy faked plans for a premium subscription service to "troll" players.
Aspects of Destiny 2 are free-to-play, but the game also 2 offers a hefty supply of paid-for content in the form of expansions, season passes, and fancy cosmetics. But just days ago, plans to introduce another form of monetization were seemingly discovered. Dataminers from the revealed they'd found evidence that Bungie was planning to add a subscription service to Destiny 2. The cost of this new service wasn't mentioned, but it was said to be linked to the FPS's upcoming expansion, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Destiny 2 Lightfall.𒅌 Given that the game already leans heavil🧸y on monetization, this news wasn't a welcome festive treat for many fans.
However, this was, in fact, all a big bunch of misinformation, and Bungie isn't planning to implement🦄 a subscription service to Destiny 2 at all. According to the dataminers behind the stunt, it was meant as a joke but gained more traction than anticipated, so they've now come clean and issued an apology for trolling players.

In a message shared on Twitter by DestinyTracker, the dataminers k💛nown as @Elliot and @bruders wrote, "Was gonna just let this keep on going, but since it grew really large and people are actually worried outside of the server, we just wanted to formally apologiz𓃲e and admit that we trolled everyone."
They acknowledge that prank will likely have angered a lot of ♛players but say that "it was all meant to be done non maliciously". To avoid another situation like this, they've promised to properly label "any future jo༺ke posts" from now on. Still, it seems odd that dataminers would risk their integrity just for a laugh, and it's likely that players will second guess anything they leak in the future.
As well as working on Destiny 2's next expansion, which is set to launch on February 28, 2023, Bungie seemingly has another non-Destiny-related project in the pipeline. Various job listings suggest it's a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new "multiplayer action game," possibly with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:MMO, F2P and mobile elements, and could be 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:a modern-daꦆy revival of its Mar🌳athon series.
