One year wait period should be illegal. Sad Story.

Important Note: This is fictional, and its to prove a point. Life can't wait a Year. It could happen to anyone of us. A man, woman, and child, went to the hospital very sick, and have been told by doctors that they only have a couple months to live. They decide they have a wish or goal they want to reach before passing on. One man wants to skydive, he does so within the time period he had left, One woman wants to fall in love, she does so within the time period she had left. One child wants to play destiny on his xbox, and wield a hawkmoon. Many think its a useless wish, but for the child this wish is more important than anything else. The child, can't afford to buy a ps3/ps4, due to huge medical expenses his family can't either. Neither does the child want a ps3/ps4 because starting a new character won't be the same experience. He loved the memories, he created with his guardian and with his friends on Xbox. Ps3/ps4 won't have that. So the child waits, expecting the wait period to be a month, before he can venture forth for a hawk moon. The child's knowledge of call of duty made him believe it would be the same wait period from Activision's previous dlc wait time. So for three months, he waited with the illusion that the hawkmoon would be obtainable the next month after it didn't arrive. His friends and family knew it wasn't going to arrive until a year had passed but they didn't have the heart to tell the child the truth. The child.... passed away right as the fourth month had ended. He never got to wield the hawk moon... Several months later, the hawkmoon finally arrives on Xbox. In memory of his younger brother, the older sibling gets on destiny and plays as the guardian that his brother wished wielded a hawk moon. He completed that wish sometime later.... It wasn't worth the wait... but it did bring closure to a weeping heart... This could happen to anyone. A year wait period is as same as a 1 year sentence in prison. It should be illegal to force anyone to wait a year for content that is already available to others. 1 month is acceptable. 1 year is unacceptable. Anything can happen with a year. Life shouldn't be locked behind a wait door. Note: I obviously know Activision, and Sony, made a deal. I'm not complaining about it. I made this post to showcase how a year is an unacceptable wait period. If destiny is supposed to last 10 years, and if some dlc content is locked behind a exclusive paywall for a 1 year after release. 20 years will be wasted waiting for dlc to fully come out for Xbox gamers. humans only have a lifespan of atleast 100 years. So why do some people have to waste 1/5 of their lifespan for bullshit 1 year wait timers. It's basically screwing both PlayStation and Xbox gamers. Since PlayStation gamers will never see their dlc strikes become nightfalls, until after it releases on Xbox. Stop defending, and ignoring this scheme Activision has cooked up. It should be illegal to have someone wait in line for a year to receive equal content like others who already have them, especially when they both paid the same price, and both paid at the same time. It's [b]discrimination[/b] plain and simple. This is not about the -blam!-ing game, its about the practice of jailing content for a year, and the discrimination of paying the same price for the dlc content and having 1/4 of it locked behind a 1 year wait period. Its anti-consumer. Quite frankly, it is should ILLEGAL. It's basically like they're selling an incomplete or missing product to half of the people who paid for it, and having to pay the same price. The only ones who don't give a shit, are the mob of children in these forums, when you get a job and pay bills, then you'll understand why I'm posting about this.

    • Never before have I seen someone slaughter spelling, grammar, punctuation, and math in the same thread. Congratulations, you just did that. How the hell is 1 year equal to 1/5 of a 100 year lifespan? I think you should worry less about Destiny's exclusive content, and more about your finals.

      • As an Xbox player, missing a few guns and strikes isn't that bad. And they are timed so we will get them anyway. You are right that we have to wait a year and a lot can happen in that time but some tips to decrease or hang on for one more year. 1. Buy a PS4 2. don't die 3. if you do die, wair for ghost revival and 4. Shut up we all paid for the same content and we will get it. It's just that PS4 decided to pay a little more.

        • You know Microsoft started the whole exclusive things. One example is Mass Effect One. Is Sony turn now. I heard that there might be another exclusive exotic hand cannon for PS4 to be exclusive for a period of 5 year. According to rumors is call "King Exclusive". It might be release with the dlc after the Taken King.

            Fun fact: no one on PlayStation has ever had to wait a year for paid content locked behind a contract wall. They will try to justify their arrogance with; Halo being Xbox exclusive Cod maps having a one month advance And other bullshit If one PlayStation gamer can actually justify our paying the same price for less content, I'll leave this forum. None of the above count, nor; Get over it It's business Get good/git gud You bought the wrong/stupid/etc console. Trolling Protip; you can't

              I don't see how everyone has this concept that everyone paid the same price for less content. We all pay the same, but Sony ponied up some extra cash for ps users to get the exclusives. It is the same way it worked in high school when buying a car. Two people scrimped and saved $1000 dollars to buy their first car. But one of the fathers decided to reward their children's work by matching that money with their own and the other decided that money would be better served buying a pool or something. So now both kids have spent $1000, but one has a $2000 vehicle. Is it that kids fault that his father chipped in? No. I am not a fan of exclusives, but no amount of bickering and arguing is going to change the fact that our parents (Sony and Microsoft) have decided to spend their money on different exclusives. Xbox gets fallout stuff and tomb raider, PS gets Destiny and cod. And life goes on.

              Couldn't agree more. I don't mind consoles having exclusive games, that's the hook for these systems, but I've [i]never[/i] known anyone who chose their console based on which gets DLC content first. Also agree, a year is an insane amount of time to wait in the gaming world. Three months I think would have been a fair amount of time.

            • A child would never wish for something so incompetent, besides why would you shatter the life of a child by telling them they will die.

                • Horrible. It would be nice if we all got everything we wanted but we don't. Not sure why a kid would be thinking that. Crazy that some people agree with this weird logic.

                • Tldr It sucks, its stupid, and it's a disappointment that Bungie would continue such a trend. So instead of playing Destiny I'll be porting the inevitable Master Chief power armor mod to Fallout 4 and playing it on Xbox. I call that a win.
