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.

1 ReplySo the kid in your story never grew up to have his own family. Never got to meet the love of his life. Never knew what it means to be a father and a grandfather. And you are saying that the kid suffered because he couldn´t get a stupid Hawkmoon?

For the record... the hawkmoon ain't all that. Ill will can be forged to be better. Unfortantly, Thorn rules the hand cannon class. The last word is as good as the thorn if ya got good accuracy.

2 Replies1 year wait period for a gun and some minor stuff, what about for an entire game? Tomb raider anyone? It's a business; this is how it's always been. A capitalist society will always drive it to this and will always leave those that can't get things crying in outrage. It's how all of this works. Exclusives drive up sells on one side and force people to choose. If everything was the same, there probably would be only one console. If there's only one console, guess what happens? Prices skyrocket; there's no competition so they can charge whatever they want, and we would have no other choice if we wanted to play but to pay their outrageous costs.

And this: [quote]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.[/quote] Complete and utter math and logic fail.

1 ReplyAny exclusivity is harmful to gamers. You can't say that "1 month is ok, 1 year is not". Once upon a time, there was some kid who wanted to play with the new COD maps. They came out on PS4 first, but would come out on Xbox in 30 days. 15 days in, he was hit by a bus. The end.

2 RepliesThat is some of THE most jacked up logic I have ever heard. You sir should be a lawyer. You clearly have a gift for making ridiculous nonsensical overdramatized arguements and I applaud your blatant disdain for anything resembling logic.

Microsoft declined exclusives. They were offered to them by Bungie, and were like nah. Still agree Activision is a terrible company.
-
Grow up. Sony paid more, so they can say they have "exclusives". It's just a couple weapons. Get over it

You're a twit. You could have PS4 and still wait a year before it falls and you're not complaining about that? Waiting a year isn unacceptble? Its like a prision sentence???? Holy mother of God! You're why we generalize that your generation is full of idiots. You should be ashamed and so should your parents.
