  • To Activision: The business practice of price discrimination is not okay. If Destiny itself was exclusive to one console/platform, then this would be a non-issue. I understand that deals are made to promote one platform over another, and that is fair. However, when you do open up the game to all platforms, charge them all the same amount of money, but give one segment of customers get a subset of the same product, then that is a very big problem. And that to me is sad because despite the product flaws and story execution, I enjoy Destiny quite a bit (I've played 80 hours so far.) To the Community: As a product designer, it is my job to understand product market fit, and to test various hypotheses. When a new business model is proposed, it has to be proven by the data: in this case, it is the # of sales generated and the customer sentiment towards the product. We are part of an experiment as we speak: Will Xbox customers buy the DLC even if they know they will only receive a subset of the product for a limited time and still pay the same price? I don't think Activision would gamble like this if they didn't believe that hypothesis to be true. I wouldn't be surprised if they think that people are addicted to Destiny and that the customers would rather stay apathetic, play the game, and grumble on the forums rather than to take a stand by not purchasing the DLC. (Assuming they are upset by the price discrimination.) Let it be clear: This is not about money. This is about principle, and the slippery slope for an even deeper cut of content in future DLCs. I think we can all agree that content is most important here. So this is really in your court. Your actions will either prove or disprove the hypothesis. I unfortunately made the mistake of not reading the fine print when I purchased the Digital Guardian Edition, and there's nothing I can do to take that back, but that doesn't mean that my voice and yours, my dollar and yours, don't make a difference now and into the future. You decide based on what is important to you. Also, I would love to hear your thoughts on the matter. Does price discrimination bother you? Why or why not? P.S. I just mailed this letter to Activision today. I won't support this business practice in the future regardless of what has occurred in the past in the gaming industry: http://imgur.com/ONQeoMz
