Destiny 2 goes for the nuclear option after time-gating players for years: Episode 2 will drop 6 weeks of content at once so you can play the MMO "at your own pace"

Destiny 2 Episodes.

As Destiny 2 tries its hand at longer Episodes in place of shorter Seasons, Bungie has apparently decided "it's time for a change" and will be experimenting with the way it dishes out content week over week – namely by not doing that and instead dropping six weeks worth of content all at once in Episode 2: Revenant. 

Bungie discussed its plans for the future of the MMO during a developer livestream which aired earlier today. Right at the start, ahead of a deep dive on some activities and promising balance changes coming in Act 2 of Episode 1: Echoes, narrative director Alison Lührs says "we've been listening to fans and listening to feedback, and we agree it's time for a change." To that end, Episode 2 is going to be something of a "trial" for Destiny 2, with all three Acts dropping as lump sums rather than metered-out experiences.
