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.

It's said that you can be whatever you want on the internet and you chose to be a complete whining moron
-
Okay [i]now[/i] I've seen it all
-
Honestly you are the biggest retard I've seen of these forums that are filled with idiots and impatient bastards. I hope you never get Hawkmoon, monte carlo or 4th horseman. And I hope you keep playing, trying to get them, but eventually giving up: On destiny and on life.

I do agree exculisves are horrible but bruh it's a game it's not exclusivity to anything that changes your life in any way except for some joy. Have a year long exclusivity to money or health care and then we can start talking
-
Dude it's 3 guns and 2 strikes and 1 crucible map. No big deal. Now stop crying and enjoy your daily dose of capitalism. And I'm guessing you're the child who wants hawkmoon?
-
The kid better have better things to do if he's going to sit there and wait until his death bead to play with a Hawkmoon that the RNG never gives him until his friend does the nightfall for the first time and gets it LOl
-
Its like being locked away in a tight space.
-
Am on Xbox, we should be happy it ain't exclusive to sony. I mean a year is way to long for weapons. But money talks u know the routine
-
The wait period is for however long a company pays the developer for it to be. The only "illegal" thing is the developer breaking that contract. Also, if you had a month to live, you'd want something a lot more important that a god damn hawkmoon
-
Bait?
-
How is one month acceptable ? You could just as easily die in that time period.
-
No. Your comparisons show exactly why you are making the argument in the first place....
-
Stopped reading after the whole child's life goal is to use a PS exclusive weapon thing. You can wait another three months for a couple guns.
-
Ughhhh will these thread posts ever end v_v
-
I should bill you for the time it took me to read your stupid post.
-
omg this is the most hilarious thing I've read in these forums. I really hope it isn't satire because it's funnier if this is real

I have 80 year to live and I want to be able to use legends in fifa on my playstation account, but I can't do it even though I paid the same amount of money. Legends in fifa stay on xbox forever, so my situation is alot more common than your situation and Microsoft made a deal that forces me to wait an eternity to get the content xbox has for the same amount of money.
-
This is hilarious. Thank you. If only Sarah Maclachlan's angel song was playing... Fictional dying kid's plight compared to getting a Hawkmoon.

7 RepliesI'm dying and really want to play Halo. It's my dying wish, but since I'm on Playstation and can't afford an XBOX, I guess I will die without meeting my goal. My life hence was an utter waste. Think this sounds stupid, go re-read your post.

Quit crying over the fact that you don't get hawkmoon. And this never would actually happen because video games aren't important. And if this was this kids goal in life I would make a new goal for him. Experience all the joy in life without a stupid video game.
-
how did u guys read all this? my brain starts to over heat after like the 2 sentence
-
Im pretty sure a PS player would donate/lend out his account for the period the kid got left. Problem solved.
-
LOL but a major thing is, why don't you or the kid find someone with a PS to wield Hawkmoon? And what about Monte Carlo? I love that more than Hawkmoon
-
Git gud.
