Is money all that matters anymore?
Bungie not everyone has sacks of cash to toss around. I myself am an college student (Debt is fun isn't it?). I've been around since the beta working for ends meat and selling most of my games just to buy Destiny and the Expansion Pass (yet doesn't cover all of the expansions. Ironic yeah?). I love the new content but when i have to pay $40+ on every content release I start to wonder is it really worth it. There is nothing I want more right now than to see the game grow but at this rate I'll end up quitting the game. I cant keep paying out my @5$ every time you add some cool quest line or raid, let alone buy the game all over again. I'm also really upset that it is costing more to keep playing the game with the new content then it would to start off with everything. I have put $90 in this game without the new dlc and yet the "Taken King Legendary Edition" cost $60. WTF!? Are we nothing to you? You are bleeding us dry and yet practically giving away what we worked so hard for to new players. It isn't right. But what do you care what I think I'm just another meaningless consumer. Prove me wrong. I doubt you will.
PS: Thanks for making it through my rant. Bump if you agree!
***Edit***
Like I said in one of my comments this isnt about economics. All I am saying is why cant we have a long term game that doesnt cost as much as a car? Is that to much to ask for? Look at Minecraft/GTA every now and then they come out with new content and do they charge consumers? No. Not to mention the game with no dlc is just a shell. It has no real story without it. If this is to much to ask for oh well.

Money is everything to corporate scums. Have you noticed in movies, online etc that they only talk about profit and revenue and how to create a product to get more money.

So just found out that you'll be able to get The Taken King, Dark Below, and House of Wolves, plus the Destiny game for $79.99 dollars (Digital) plus other game swag, like a replica of a strange coin and a steel cover with pictures, and a bunch of other stuff... What is this #Bungie ? I paid $60, well actually almost $500, because I bought the white edition PS4 that came with Destiny, but let's just say it was $60 for the game, then I paid $35 for the the season pass that gave me the first two expansions, so $100 in total for the game and 2 expansions, and now you're releasing another Destiny game, with all the DLC for $79.99 (Digital)? The Taken King is $40, Dark Below is $20 and House of Wolves is $20 so that's $80 in just DLC, the game is $60, so $140 is what we since day 1 will have to pay, but if you buy this new Destiny game, not only do you get a great deal, because you save around 43% (Digital), but you also get exclusive Exotic Class Items (3 exotic class items) that give you extra XP, 3, not 1, but 3 shaders, and 3 class emotes, but we that have to pay for everything separate, we that have been with #Bungie since day 1, get screwed over this bad? And by that I mean, that all we get is one shader that probably is going to look horrible, since y'all didn't even bother with the House of Wolves Expansion shaders, one sparrow that is really nothing special at all, it's just for show like the ships, and one emblem that already looks bad, just for show. How's this fair at all? And that's not all, if you buy the physical copy, it is $59.99, which saves you a outrageous amount of 58%, but it does not come with the extra swag, again, how is this any fair at all? The Taken Wallet DLC Are you ready for the fight of your life Guardian? You killed Crota and Now Oryx has come for your wallet. Experience recycled levels, old enemies, and broken gameplay. Unbalanced multiplayer and no dedicated servers. A RNG system that will make you think that nothing is ever random. No new vault space to store new weapons. Which weapons will you keep? And how many 100's will you delete? Oryx has come to wreck your wallet Guardian. Bend over and take it like a champ. Brought to you by Bungievision! Pre order now, year one guardians get a crappy shader, emblem, and sparrow. And to all the new guardians out there get everything, yes EVERYTHING! for half the price as our loyal community! Also you get cooler preorder bonuses that vanilla players don't.

4 RepliesOf course they add about 2-3 missions and one raid and charge 15 for each expansion lol. Best part is on their videos they act like they added so much but rly it like two things

You are a college student, most of college students are broke. I now because I was, gaming is a luxury not a need if you have the money you buy if you dont well you dont. I dont agree with the way Activusion is handling things but is a great marketing strategy. The have being bleeding COD and people still buy that piece of shit, now they habe a new gold mine.

money has been all that matters...

All Activision cares about is money. They could care less for the customers, as long as they keep making money they will just keep ignoring us.

Ots the only thing that ever mattered.

3 RepliesYes... Money is all that matters. If there is no profit to be made it won't be done.

Yes! Money is the only thing that matters.

~Customized Bump!~ [b]In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth(needed Implementations!) is a revolutionary act; However, The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it(Bungie(vision), ignorance may deride it(bungie(vision), but in the end, there it is. Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain't goin' away!

~Customized Bump!~ [b]Yesterday we obeyed kings and bent our necks before emperors(Bungie(vision). But today we kneel only to Truth(What Destiny Needs Implemented)! Whatever you vividly imagine(Vast Open Worlds), ardently desire(Vault Space, OPMM, In-game LFG, ect.), sincerely believe(Needs Cinematic Story!!), and enthusiastically act upon(What you Bump and Like!)... must inevitably come to pass!

Yes...especially for Activision. It's unfortunate, but that's the reality.

3 RepliesYou have to look at who is with Bungie, it's Activision. Who was part of all those copy and paste call of duty games? They are after our money and we are only to blame by giving in.

2 RepliesWell id help you raise funds because, yes bungie wants money, but players want more stuff to do so there has to be a balance, at least you can still play vanilla even if you didnt buy any of the dlcs. So I hear you bro, maybe destiny should make something similar to the girl scouts, where you go door to door dressed up as a guardian selling cookies to buy the next expansion.... if they say no, pull out your gally

1 ReplyEdited by RdDragonEmperor: 6/18/2015 11:40:04 AMI feel for you dude, but your post is very naive. Don't let charity fool you. Bungie doesn't care. There in it to make money. We as a customer base need to stand together. This business model works for games like SoM where after a year most of the players have bought the dlcs and moved on to other games. On a game like Destiny that has active players its just an insult.

Bungie is a FOR PROFIT COMPANY!!!! Grow up already

3 Repliesthe dlc doesnt add to the storyline either they are completely seperate and have almost NOTHING to do with the main story arc

1 ReplyTime to put your one of your kidneys on the black market, because Bungie has another lackluster Destiny expansion with your name all over it. This time your going to fight the Taken, which are tainted green, to make you feel like they actually imagined something new, in return for your kidney money. You all make sure you pick up the season pass so you can be locked into more disappointment throughout the year. That savings might allow you to keep your remaining kidney intact.
