I Stopped Paying for Netflix and Now I Can't Watch Movies, RIPOFF!
So I've paid for Netflix for an entire year! I've invested so much time into Orange is the New Black and House of Cards, I even grinded every episode of Friends last month! Now, I log in today and all of it is gone! I can't even watch movies that I have been able to watch for a full year!
I don't get it. I've been a loyal customer for a year, and just because I stopped paying, I get locked out of content. Well I wont be giving them my business anymore, scammers.[spoiler]Do you get it now?[/spoiler]
EDIT 1: I seem to be getting a lot of similar replies, usually directed at claiming Destiny is not a "subscription" service and that we the players "own" the game. I'm sorry boys and girls, we do not own anything. We paid for a liscence to access Destiny's content; content which is subject to change or even be removed for those who don't update their liscence. This was all outlined in the EULA you blindly accepted a year ago.
EDIT 2: "LIMITED USE LICENSE: Bungie grants you the non-exclusive, personal, non-transferable, limited right and license to install and use one copy of this Program solely for your non-commercial use. All rights not specifically granted are reserved by Bungie. The Program is licensed, not sold, for your use. Your license confers no title or ownership in this Program, and should not be construed as a sale of any rights in this Program."
EDIT 3: Jesus this is still going, this is fantastic. It looks like the verdict is roughly about 50/50 on people agreeing with me, or calling me some derivative of the word retard. To each their own I guess. I'd hope you guys get this worked up when Norton Antivirus tries to charge you for updates, and then removes features when you don't pay. Because, you know, you bought a disk, so you're clearly entitled.

9 RepliesThis is a very, very poor analogy. If Bungie wants to make it subscription-based, hey, I'm all for it. I'll pay it. That said, locking content that was previously accessible so you have to buy yet another expansion is just bad business. You die-hard fanboys can gripe all you want in response to complaints, but it's not going to change a damn thing. Like someone further down the thread stated, "It's like saying you can't watch the season finale of House of Cards season 1 until you purchase season 2." I'd say that about covers it. I bought the TTK for my Xbox One, but didn't for my 360. There's a plethora of cut content. Bungie beating around the bush to access funds to keep game servers running isn't helping their cause one bit. I'll have to admit I'm enjoying the new DLC, but that said, finally getting my hands on Year One exotics that are now useless until they're possibly included in another expansion was also a bad approach. I've been around in the video game scene all the way back from the Atari 2600 days until now. All I see are companies using a veil of good PR to promote content lacking in effort and creativity, generally re-skinning old content (Call of Duty, I'm talking to you). This is very evident in the first two expansions of Destiny. Granted, TTK is a huge step above what was a "pay to play and fix our mistakes" beta, but it's still no excuse to lock access to Destiny's most fun and appealing content to players who aren't or haven't yet bought TTK. Try again.
