Bungie confirmed in its February 1 report: “This week in fate” newsletter that the four-year partnership with Prime Gaming is finally coming to an end. Since January 2020, Bungie has been releasing a monthly pack of free shaders, sparrows, emotes, and other cosmetics that Amazon Prime members can redeem for free.

Personally, I’m not the type of person to turn down free stuff, especially in a game with such an extensive catalog of microtransactions. However, it’s impossible to ignore that Destiny 2 is struggling to maintain its dwindling player base. While a daily Steam player count of 45,000 isn’t anything to sneeze at, considering Destiny 2 boasted about triple that number a year ago, it’s hard not to see these free incentives as a way to stop the bleeding.
