I feel like Bungie are going in the right direction by not sunsetting current or upcoming content, but are still not giving players an element of choice in what they want to play.

Bungie Suggestion

You know when you buy a new call of duty, you can decide if you even want to install the campaign or zombies or whatever it is you want? Why is this not an option for players?

Why can't we just have these locations installable, but if there is any slowdown in your loading times or menu screens, that's on you. You made that choice. I get why this choice was made, it is holding back the engine and load times are faster. But there are new Guardians who've never seen Io. Never seen Titan, or Mars. Let them install it if they want to. Let them uninstall it if they want to.

This could also double as a way to allow players to purchase old seasons and play them through. You install that season, and bam, there you go, there's the content as players experienced it at the time. Delete as required.

People are grown up enough to understand that installing ALL of it will cause some performance issues, but let that be their choice.

Because unlike call off duty everything old has to be updated when new things are added to the game.

It’s not just because of storage size.

Eh, that's ok. I have zero performance issues as well with this.

Well hopefully they’ve found a way for it to not slow your system. Elder Scrolls Online launched the same year D1 did and they’ve never removed any content. Still loads extremely quick for me.

Because new code will fuck with the old code and those planets, activities etc. will all need to be supported. The difference between this and a game like cod is that you are always connected to the internet in destiny and it has to be that way for a variety of reasons, when you're playing the cod campaign you are not online and that content and how you experience it will always be the same. Destiny has constant updates to how we experience the game even if it's old content, for instance new subclasses being introduced, the way you're suggesting wouldnt work with that because the game needs to communicate with the servers to understand that your guardian has changed and this doesnt work with the idea of just downloading a planet and never having to update it.

They've claimed that they're improving the Destiny engine, and one of the major cases they presented for sunsetting was storage space, because the maps are huge and cluttered with lots of hidden assets and space-consuming geometry.

So, fair to say, if they can get it right? They could refurbish Red War and Forsaken content to chuck them back in.
