Bright Engrams, AKA Destiny 2 loot boxes, contain armor and weapon mods that introduce significant benefits to players who get them.

PlayStation has scaled back expectations for Bungie after reassessing Destiny 2 development costs, highlighting the risks tied to live-service games.
Honestly Thank Goodness!! Yet another good sign of a possibility of returning to what made them great and undoing Jim Tyans trend chasing love service gamble. Still gotta wait and see just what direction they're going but this is a good sign in my book that they're not betting it all on live service anymore
It may take a while but maybe they are finally learning. Good! Now stop with the live service crap.
They say this and then immediately release news of the Horizons co-op game that will definitely be a Live Service game.

Patch notes for Update 9.5.0.5, the one about Equilibrium fixes and more, are now available.

A new survey shows Destiny 2 is considering adding Sparrow Racing League, unvaulted campaigns, NPC sidekicks, new PvP and Gambit modes, and much more.
"it's attainable through in game play" has never been a satisfactory reason to me.
The fact that loot boxes contain ability cool downs and other game play advantages is ridiculous in an online shooter where PVP is a thing.
And some people commented about the return of micro transactions being nothing more than cosmetic yesterday and calling anyone who thought how bad it is to have MT in a AAA game idiots.
Well, we can see the full picture here. Loot boxes that aren't just cosmetic. Funny how they kept this BS quiet until release.
Was going to wait and see with Destiny 2 anyway after being a day 1 player with the original, and I may never pick this up now
