I'm actually amazed that Last-Gen players aren't trying to orchestrate a class-action suit against Bungie.
This isn't tongue-in-cheek, this isn't sarcastic, and this isn't even meant as a "haha you're stuck in the past" barb at the PS3 and 360 players.
I'm just legit amazed that you guys haven't gotten together and said, "This is not what we were promised when we invested $60 - $100+ in buying this game and the updates that it turned out. We're not going to settle for this treatment and this kind of exclusionary behavior, just because we're less financially-capable of buying a next-gen console."
Don't get me wrong, I 100% understand the hardware limitations that come with the older consoles, and I 100% understand that Destiny has just about reached that limitation on both machines. But it goes way beyond that, with all of the extra-steps they've been taking to proverbially cut the balls off of the last-gen players.
They could've honestly just left it at, "You won't be getting the next big expansion, because it just can't support what we're trying to do with it." But Bungie has seen fit to not only cross the line, but barrel across it and then piss all over it once they're on the other side.
> "You won't be getting exotics from Xur anymore."
> "You won't be playing Trials of Osiris anymore; you won't be getting Trials-Gear anymore."
> "You won't be playing Iron Banner anymore; you won't be getting Iron Banner-Gear anymore."
> "You won't be enjoying the live-events like Festival of the Lost anymore."
> "You won't be getting anymore updates to gear, and so you won't be getting higher light-levels anymore."
And that's just a few things to list off. Bungie has basically told you guys, "The game's over until you decide to upgrade. Now go piss up a rope." All of this is why I'm amazed that these two communities haven't gotten together and said, "No. -blam!- that shit. Class-Action Lawsuit."
Don't get me wrong; I'm on my Next-Gen console, personally. I'm 100% ready for the update and waiting eagerly for September. But as someone who's spent most of my life being stuck in "Last-Gen" situations, as far back as the PS2 era (I didn't get a PS2 of my own until almost 2005), I feel bad for you guys.
To me, this just seems like you're getting a bad cut, no matter how you slice it.

3 RepliesWhy can thet afford current DLC and not a next gen plus trade in? There are people selling ps4 and xbox1 online for 200 with no controllers. If they cannot afford that, then they do not deserve destiny.

I'm actually amazed that you're not kidding.

1 ReplyThis whole post is just trying to aggravate the masses, get them to beat their drums, and run with torches and pitchforks to the castle so that they can all fall in the moat and drown .... Was it really needed?
-
Why bother?....
-
Then sue microsoft nobody wanted windows 10. Your argument is not logical. We can beat this horse all day. Its over move on.
-
Destiny full TTK and everything is like 10 pm amazon for new gen. Tf. Cry somewhere else.
-
You use 100% a lot. Here is a number for you: 100% of people should not be 'amazed' that there is not a class action lawsuit. Because that would be idiotic.
-
While I agree they shouldnt lose those things and only blame bungie if they coded them in a way that requires constant maintenance bungie can turn of the servers entirely and you still couldnt sue them.
-
Can you add a link where bungie stated that old gen was going to be able to handle the entire game including the all expansions?
-
3 RepliesUnless bungie said somewhere at the start of destiny that they would accommodate last gen consoles for the life of the game then they haven't really got a leg to stand on.
-
Probably because they don't have a case, genius.
-
I like how everyone is saying " It's Bungie's game! They can do what they want!" All true, unfortunately. Our species is doomed to early extinction.

Edited by Bucket of Tears: 8/1/2016 12:04:45 PMRead the EULA. Bungie can change the terms of the agreement as they want and you do not actually own the game to begin with. Pointless lawsuit by petty players. Upgrade or don't.
-
Because there would be no legal ground on which to stand. Purchasing a game does not enter you into a contract, nor does it allow you to dictate how the company treats the game. You are purchasing the license to use (play) the game. Exactly that same a any other software in existence. So they can file all they want no one is saying no. But they will lose and now be less financially capable of obtaining the new consoles.

1 ReplyIf they can't afford a ps4, they can't afford a class action...

Edited by Tiki719: 8/1/2016 12:03:36 PMPretty sure 75% of last gen users are 10 years old. They can't even spell lawsuit.
-
Look at the terms of agreement. I think somewhere in there it says that u accept any changes that comes to ur game
-
They can't. That is stupid. There was no written promise of anything. The systems are ancient and it's for the best. Quit whining

5 RepliesClass action law suit... No idea what that is, but it sounds sooo American.

God I forgot how many as[i]s[/i]holes are on these forums! I agree that last gen players are kind of getting shafted. I think that if this is the direction they were going to go, then they shouldn't have released it for last gen. On a different note I get that most people on this forum still live at home and don't have to buy their own consoles or games, but some of us do. We don't have an extra $300 extra lying around to spend on something that will be outdated in two years or less . Personally I'd rather sink $1,000+ into a new gaming PC, it's a better investment and it will last a he[i]ll[/i] of a lot longer.
-
This was inevitable and anyone who disagrees doesn't want this game to reach its full potential.
-
I agree that they should give them trials iron banner and xûr.
-
They can sue if they want, but EULA covers Bungie/Activision for everything. They could convert the game world tomorrow into 'Barbie Horse Adventure' or 'Brony Playtime Nightmare' and you couldn't do shit about it.

Edited by Jeduraiya: 8/1/2016 9:29:51 AMI am a last gen player and I disagree. I started a thread on the subject of us getting content cut( [i]which I was initially [b]VERY[/b] pissed about[/i] ) and it received a good amount of attention from several members. Many of which gave a good amount of insight on my part to this subject. If you would be interested in what they had to say, please feel free to check out the thread through the link below. Their comments say way more than I could ever say in a single comment here. https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/209609919?sort=0&page=0

These kinds of posts are idiotic. Bungie could just decide to shut the whole thing down now and there isn't anything anyone could do about it. Go back and actually read the agreement that you approve after each update. You will see that there is no legal leg to stand on.

They got a "full game" they got a finished product in a sense, they get no promises of future add ons, so no, not valid
