Destiny 2's Unvaulting Plan Quietly Pushes Any Real Sequel Further Away Than Fans Think

When Bungie announced back in May that Destiny 2 was coming to the end of its live-service support, I couldn't help but feel like a pretty significant part of my gaming history was coming to an end. I've played Destiny 2 off and on for years, sometimes stepping away for extended periods before eventually finding myself drawn back into its world, and I even wrote about what the announcement meant to me at the time. But as difficult as it was to accept that Bungie was moving on, I also understood that whatever came next for Destiny was going to take years to develop, especially since the studio had only just announced its intentions to begin incubating new projects. Unfortunately, Bungie's recent decision to bring much of Destiny 2's vaulted content back has made the road to that eventual successor look considerably longer than I initially expected.
