Australia priced out of taken king
Hi Bungie and Australian destiny community.
I just wanted to voice some displeasure about the taken king pricing. $70 dollars for the expansion is frankly outrageous. $40 I would pay. $50 I would consider. $70 is flat out beyond me. I don't mean that I don't have the money, I mean that I can't bring myself to pay that much for an expansion. As soon as the taken king is released, I will stop playing destiny and my entire clan is dong the same thing. So I just wanted to say good bye to destiny, thanks for the ride. Many a fun time but a shame I leave with the feeling that Bungie are ripping Aussies off. Aussies hate that and we have long memories (?destiny 2).

You would spend $40 on one DLC when you don't even know what is actually in it? you're far more game than I am. Especially considering Fallout 4 is only a few months away. I considered it when I thought it was $20, said hell no when it was $40 and pre-ordered Fallout when I found out that it is $70. They must be insane to try to pull that here

Edited by R.Y.N.O: 8/16/2015 10:40:57 AMThe price is way too much, i originally bought the game for $99AUD on market place. If bungie won't change the price to fit the currency exchange people will start making a new [u]American accounts[/u] tied to paypal and [u]convert their currency[/u] to get a better deal ($54 for Australia), At some point the fan base are goner realise that they're getting screwed over. I mean, luke smiith insults half or all of the fan base by saying [u]Luke Smith[/u]: [b]You're feeling anxious because you want this exclusive content but you don't know yet how much you want it. The notion of spending this money is making you anxious[/b]. [u]Luke Smith[/u]: [b]If I fired up a video right now and showed you the emotes you would throw money at the screen [/b] [u]Luke Smith[/u]: [b]It's about value. The player's assessment of the value of the content[/b] [i]These words where not sarcastic, they were chauvinistic towards the player base who devote time and money into this game hoping to get good content but didn't[/i] The last 2 dlc's sucked and only kept the fan base distracted for the time being. Saying sorry by sell content that's worth $5 for $20 is shame full. Bungie (you) have to take their (your) pricing seriously At one stage I even heard a rumor that the taken king was going to be free of charge. If that happened that would have drawn back a lot of the fan base or even more, but would have left the whole of the year one fan base butt hurt but not as butt hurt as they are with this price.
