Destiny 2 is partially free to play
Bungie will offer Destiny 2 in a base version with a free-to-play business model. In future, only extensions such as the new Shadowkeep DLC, which will be released on September 17, will cost money.
Also, the game will be released on Steam. Destiny 2 will carry the additional New Light in free-to-play form, reveals a mistake earlier reported on Engadget . In this basic version, the shooter includes all the game modes and content of Destiny 2, including those released in the first year after its release. Destiny 2 was already offered for free for a short time last year. Also on the technical side Bungie changes a lot of things. Destiny 2 is no longer offered (only) through the Battle.net, instead Steam is the new home.
Bungie also officially unveiled Shadowkeep and Destiny 2: New Light. New Light will include the DLCs Curse of Osiris and Warmind of the first year as announced. Forsaken, on the other hand, has to be bought separately. The studio now has the freedom to develop Destiny according to their own ideas. New Light and Shadowkeep will be released on September 17th. At this point, Destiny 2 will also move from Battle.net to the Steam Store.

What? No. The base game is free to play, not hard to understand.
I also regularly play Destiny 2 on PC, and I never have any issues finding anyone to play with. So I would say it's far from dead, not a success on PC like they thought it would be. They missed their market big time though.
The words "partially" and "free to play" are just two terms used to lie.... So what we have here, a big fraud?

I've got D2 free from BNet last year (all DLC up to then last one, so two in total). I bought the last one after some time because the game was addictive. I then got a season pass with black forge update. Was not impressed with essentially grinding'a'lot armory and still waiting to see some update like the last one from 2018.
They focus a lot on PvP and pointless out of place raids. For both of these there are much better games, free or otherwise.

Destiny 2 is partially free to play
Destiny 2 is basically dead.
actually the game is very far from dead. i am part of a 1000+ member destiny clan that actively plays ( that is divided between many branches due to the clan member cap), que times within the game are within seconds for both pvp as well as all the pve modes and maps...
the reason why there doing this is due to the fact that bungie bought back the rights to destiny... prior to a few months back , activision owned majority of the shares and had almost complete control over the game.
bungie has now bought back those shares, and now have full control over the game and franchise again, which is why they are moving to steam, due to the fact that activision owns the blizzard launcher

actually your getting the base game (which includes all launch maps the main story and majority of the pvp modes), plus the original season pass (first 3 dlcs free). which is many hours of content

Which Destiny is on battle.net? I got that one for free (basic version whatever) long time ago.
Was not bad for what it is. But it is not something I can enjoy playing alone and not for long.
Destiny 2 is on battle.net. I got it free a few months back. Still haven't played it yet.
EDIT:
Whoops I see someone beat me to the punch
