Disclaimer: I will be buying TTK for 40 dollars. I own all content so far, and have put nearly 800 hours into this game.
I have enjoyed destiny and think boycotts and petitions are pointless. The fact of the matter is they don't matter. I know we took the interview out of context but what Luke Smith said still rings true. Bungie knows we value their content more now that we have purchased their products in mass, but we are not actually receiving the SAME value for the product provided as in the past.
The breakdown:
TTK includes:
10-12 new missions, one of which is locked until January unless you buy red bull.
1 new raid
1 new patrol zone
3-4 new strikes
1 new subclass per class
3-4 new sets of armor for each class
20 levels (presumed based on gameplay footage) to grind through
2 new crucible playlists
Maybe one new social space (unconfirmed)
Rough Total price if you buy enough red bull to get you early access to all content: 60 dollars
Original game included:
24(IIRC) missions (all available at launch)
1 new raid
4 new patrol zones
5-6 new strikes depending on console
2 subclasses to level and explore
Countless sets of armor as you leveled and explored
20 base levels and 10 additional gear levels to grind through
4 new crucible playlists
One large multipurpose social space
Actual price: 60 dollars
Bungie and activision knew that the vanilla game was worth 60 dollars, and we thought it would be too. After getting very bored of the grind, they delivered two DLCs with mixed reviews for 20 dollars each.
Now they know you will pay roughly 60 dollars for literally half the content as a "year two expansion". And that's what I and many other players will do.
TL;DR: TTK should be 30 dollars and red bull shouldn't provide early access, everyone should get it, because you're paying the same money as last September for half the game.

Edited by Michael11535150: 6/25/2015 12:35:27 AMLooks like bungie truly found their target market with this oblivious fanboy hype and detached mindset toward fleecing of your wallet. Hope there are more of you to cover the cost of losing all of us (and make no mistake, it is a lot of us and its gonna -blam!-in hurt em) that funded their ill means of gaining capital until this point. Mark my words, there will be no destiny or possibly even Bungie in 10 years. A ceo who sells 17.1 million dollars worth of shares is a definite red flag and im no longer going to fund half assed, broken, slopped together crap ripped from what we were suppose to get as a full game in the first place, for bullshit hype and lies. The way it is suppose to work, is we play the game.....not the other way around.

All my day one friends are buying collectors editons and we have bought the Guardian digital edition. We all have money broke Lil kids.

They know we are all hooked now, and want our next fix. If Bungie said TTK was £/€/$50, people would moan about it , but still buy it. We are rats in a cage, pushing a button, and waiting for the next treat to drop.

Edited by abelsinh: 6/24/2015 11:48:12 PMRed Bull offers access to a quest, not a mission. Also, a lot of your info is either incorrect or based on assumptions. There's no formal announcement of exactly what we are getting.
-
on September 16 you can tell me weather or not TTK was worth 40 bucks. until then, I will ignore this topic to the best of my abilities.

HoW (and loosely TDB): Story missions coutable on one hand. 1 new Strike (2 for Sony) 1 new End-game PvE activity 1 new Competitive playlist 1 new Social Space 3 new PvP maps 1 new PvP mode etc. etc. My point is, TTKing is slated to be at least double what HoW and TDB offered. So double the price is about apropos.

Thx. And also. Not everything about tTK is revealed. Still hate LS representation though
-
Out of curiosity where did you get the breakdown info. I've been waiting to find all that out :)
-
Irritated or not I'm still getting it. You better believe I'm getting it!
