McDestiny: How Bungie Committed Fraud
You and your friend go to McDonald's. You both order a burger, drink, and fries. Your friend pays with a VISA and receives his order. You pay with a MasterCard, and you get your burger and fries, but they tell you that you can't have your drink for 30 minutes because beverages are VISA exclusive content.
EDIT: Because MasterCard refused to pay an extra fee so that MasterCard users could get timely drinks, but VISA did, this is MasterCard's fault for not complying with extortion.
EDIT: Because McDonald's advertised this ahead of time, it's your responsibility to go spend $300+ to get a VISA or always have to wait for your beverages.
EDIT: "Fraud is a deception deliberately practiced in order to secure unfair or unlawful gain."
By using the terminology "exclusive content" they deceive the consumer into believing that both parties receive the full content but one gets more. The reality is that one party gets the full content paid for while the other gets most of what they paid for. This tactic drives sales on one side at the expense of the other, thus achieving an unfair gain via deception.

Why would u eat at McDonald's?

1 ReplyYou sir, are all sorts of dumb.

Wtf part of exclusive content eludes you..? Go sit in the naughty corner and wait for your beverege..

Did you know many retailers don't accept American Express because they charge a higher merchant fee per purchase(3.5%) compared to Visa and MasterCard(around 2-3%)? AmEx operates on a different business model than the other two, and video games are also a business. People can choose to not get an AmEx card if the lack of locations accepting it bothers them. You can choose to buy a PS4 if the exclusive timed content bothers you, or you can choose not to buy Destiny. Or you could just shut the -blam!- up and quit being a lil bitch.

Did you just find out you can't get a hawkmoon? I know its a bummer, but just wait us xboners will get them some day.
-
Haha your an idiot , it's more like if using a visa you get a free toy with your meal, if using Mastercard you don't . Key word "free" can't fraud a free
-
Spend 300+ dollars to get a visa?? Where the hell did u get that info? Terrible analogy. Makes no sense. Timed exclusives are completely legal. Cod has been doing it for years. You clearly haven't the slightest clue as to what fraud is.

5 RepliesThat analogy is weak. What really happened is one friend went to burger king and got butthurt because they dont have big macs.

Nope and I don't even have time to explain why I don't have time to explain how your wrong

1 ReplyEdited by Sylentknite: 1/23/2015 7:19:17 AMIt's just extra content, so it's more like your friend order his meal but paying with a visa gets him a free ice cream, but since you paid with master card you don't get the free ice cream. It's not false advertisement, you just have to not be stupid to understand what exclusive content really means
-
Quit complaining. Either buy a PS4 or go cry in the corner with the other 12 people who bitch about exclusive content. Microsoft has been doing this for years. Now that Sony gets one all you XBOTS start bitching. Get over it or get out.

7 RepliesYou and your friend go to McDonald's. You both order a burger, drink and chips. Your friend also receives an apple pie because his company has a deal with McDonald's to provide "Free" apple pies for a year. You, having seen that you're missing out on "Free" apple pies for a year, head to the forum to bitch, moan and complain about Bungie committing fraud against you. What you tossers don't understand, is that $20 dollars is the BASE price for the DLC. The PS exclusive stuff? Sony paid for it. Let's say that Bungie lowered the Xbox DLC price by $5 to represent the "Missing content", would you then be happy if Bungie asked all Xbox players to hand over that $5 after the exclusive contract ends? Would you bitch about having to pay for something that's been in the game for over a year? Tl;Dr? Shut the fuuck up, you whiny pathetic Xbox scrub. PS master-race.

To use your own example, you and your friend both visited separate McDonalds. The one you visited wasn't currentlt offering drinks. Their lack of drinks was clearly advertised. They told you that if you'd like to pay for drinks now you could, and you'd get your drink when it was available at a later date. Alternatively you could visit a different McDonalds and buy a drink now. With all the information available you chose to make a purchase. No one fooled you. No fraud of extortion took place. Nothing unfair or unlawful happened. Bungie, Sony and Microsoft certainly weren't deceptive.

I bet this guy is switching back and forth between the forums and dictionary.com

I don't think you know what your talking about.....
-
Literally 100% of commenters disagree with you. [spoiler]let that soak in[/spoiler]

1 ReplyI do not think you know what Fraud is. [spoiler]or contracts. [/spoiler]

The exclusive content wasn't something in the base game all consoles got. Instead it was extra content made for specific platforms later to be available for all consoles. You're looking at it from a stubborn child point of view and instead need to see it from the shut up meg point of view.
-
This is a strawman fallacy If you are going to argue a point then stick to it. What you posted is not a valid arguement.
-
4 RepliesExcept it isn't deception when it was advertised before the release. The sign in McDonalds would show that using a VISA gives you more stuff. [spoiler]tldr you're dumb.[/spoiler]
-
Its ok snowflake you will get a hawkmoon soon
-
4 RepliesDon't cry Xbox get it eventually it's all fair play a contract extending millions of dollars outweighs your 300+ on console and accessories
-
Please just shut up
-
Not a very good analogy
-
9 RepliesHow much research did you do before posting this? Don't worry I can already tell. Did you know Xbox wouldn't pay for the exclusive content but Sony would? I doubt it...
