This guy touches on a lot of key points and really hits the nail on the head. I agreed with what he sais and his evidence is pretty solid. He gets a little bit too zealous towards the end, but it's nothing too serious. Now, before some of you come out with things like; ~ But that's just how business work. (I accept corporate enslavement) ~ If you don't like it, leave. (How dare you try and change or fix things that aren't working and speak out against things I like. Stop it.) ~ Things always get cut from games before release, that's why it's called development. (That makes it okay to scrap whole games and sell something else, they must of had "development issues") ~ Bungie have a 10 year plan (I'm happy to wait 10 years for all my money to give me satisfaction) ~ Anything else close-minded. Watch the whole video. If you followed Destiny as closely as a lot of us over the last few years you'll see that what's in your disc drive is different than what $500,000,000 was spent on telling us would be. That should not be endorsed. Now, I'm not telling you to never buy DLC or how to spend your money. What I'm saying is spend it more wisely and think things through. Think about something from all angles then see if it makes sense. Bungie might listen to their community, but only if you speak loud enough and say something worth listening to. Crying "nerf" and "OP" drowns out what should actually be read and can make the difference. Let me know what you though in the comments.

  • Simple. If you feel that way...then vote with your wallet. Don't buy the game. If you've bought the game, then don't buy the expansions. If you've already bought them, then stop playing the game and don't buy anything else Destiny-related. THAT is how consumers speak loudly and clearly in the marketplace...and that (or the fear of that) is what corporations listen to. Not kids whining on the internet for free stuff, or that they feel "ripped off" because the game turned out differently than they imagined. At the end of the day, all of this is about the personal value of money...and the *market* value of it. I *get* that---to most young people, $60 is a lot of money. You don't have jobs, so you lots of money doesn't go through your hands. IN most middle-class families, there is a limit to how much money can be given to kids, and how much can be spent on their entertainment wishes. So I *get* that---to many people---around here that $60 has considerable, *personal* value. If you feel that you need to have more for your $60 than has been given...that's a personal decision that no one can argue with. But the reality is that what decides what you get for that $60....and how much things cost is *market* value. Which---ironically---is based on the purchasing decisison made by millions of other people. All who are makign their own personal value decisions. So your notions of what you get for $60, winds up running into mine (and those of millions of others). To me, $60 really isn't that much money. Its what I spend a week to put gas in my car. Its what I spend a week for lunch at work. Its dinner for 2 people at a mid-priced resturant where I live. So the notion that a game that I've been contentedly grinding away at for over 200 hours (and counting) didn't give me my "money's worth" is a conversation that won't get very far. ...and there is this conflict between gamers and game developers for the simple reason that---while the personal value of $60 has reamined high for so many gamers----the reality is that the MARKET value of a AAA game simply isn't $60 anymore. So the choice isn't one of "sell whole game for $60 versus breaking it up and selling it to you for 3 payments totalling $100." The choice is between selling you the game all at once for $100, versus selling it to you in three installments, and letting you decide what parts you want. Because the market value is driving developer's decisions, while personal value is driving that of gamers.

    • Kellygreen is basically correct about how to send the message. After the beta, I was prepared to spend whatever Activision wanted for this game and further content. About a hundred hours in, I started to feel like something wasn't going right. And by 200 hours, I never wanted to play the game again. I won't spend another cent on this franchise unless it gets a major overhaul. I suspect I'm not alone. Such wasted potential, undone by great and a lack of creativity.

    • Between this and the AMA on Reddit about the story. Yes. Just yes.
