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.

  • You know, seeing these threads posted all over the forums makes me wish that Sony had paid to make exclusive content exclusive throughout the life of the series.

  • lol your math is bad. If it comes out a year afterwards, it's not gonna be 20yrs before it's all on xbox. The stuff now will be out one year after, stuff after that another, and then another so on and so forth. When the PS players (myself included :D) get their last set of exclusives (if this continues on like this where we keep getting exclusives) then it'll be the last year (10). You wanna know what year it will be when xbox players get it all? Not 20! It'll be year 11!

    • You bought the game knowing Xbox wouldn't get the same exclusives. You made your bed now sleep in it. Enough of the crying this community is full of babies. If it's that big a deal go buy a ps4- if not then can it.

    • Fruit juices can put ANYTHING they want on the front of the label. As long as it has the info on the back. 100% REAL JUICE on the front and only 4% on the back. Why not this with video games?

    • As much as I wish there were no exclusives whatsoever... Your analogy is honestly terrible. Seriously. 1 year timed DLC is equivalent to 1 year in prison? Seriously?

      • I have enough money to buy a ps4 but I have no reason to because 1. I have over 1,000 playing destiny on my Xbox 2. I prefer the way Xbox works especially with windows 10 soon approaching 3. The controllers feel very different and would take time to adjust to I agree with OP and sadly all of you ps4 pgheggets saying to just buy a ps4 are entitled pricks. and yes, I have played on a ps4 various times. I simply don't like.

      • Oh, and one more thing about why it's a year and not a month. The maps and strikes could be a month, but the way rng works 90% of ps users wouldn't have any of the guns by the time the exclusivity ended. And no company is brain dead enough to pay a shit ton of money for the benefit of their customers, if it didn't benefit their customers.

          • Maybe when you were watching storage wars and that commercial came on saying " a better destiny experience with playstation" you should have went with the playstation rather than your xbox bro. You made the choice.

            • My Grandfather smoked his whole life. I was about 10 years old when my mother said to him, 'If you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate, you have to stop immediately.'. Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized what exactly was at stake. He gave it up immediately. Three years later he died of lung cancer. It was really sad and destroyed me. My mother said to me- 'Don't ever smoke. Please don't put your family through what your Grandfather put us through." I agreed. At 28, I have never touched a cigarette. I must say, I feel a very slight sense of regret for never having done it, because your post gave me cancer anyway.

                • If you work in the service industry and one guy tips $100 every time and another guy tips $2 everytime, who are you going to give better service to? Activision paid bungie, therefor they will get better service. Complain to your boys at Microsoft. Unless you are independently wealthy in your own right and want to pony up the money to have Xbox get exclusives then your argument is completely pointless and a waste of time.
