Edit for those who still seem to be missing the point:

[b]It absolutely is not.[/b]
Original post:
I give up, truly and for real. I stopped playing Destiny a while ago because, like most people, I don't find doing the same thing over and over and over and over for little to no reward to be fun or entertaining.
I figured I'd check in again once Taken King dropped, and check out this "Destiny 2.0" that everyone is talking about.
Well, it turns out there isn't one. At least, not unless you bought TTK.
For everyone who didn't, there isn't even a Destiny 1.0 any more because apparently someone thought locking out anyone without the expansion from literally any of the meaningful activities was a smart move. Even those with the other previous DLC packs have been locked out of the content of that DLC that they paid extra for.
Now, I pride myself on being civil and polite in these forums. Sure, I'm usually snarky and often cutting, but always polite and always understanding. I say this because I want you to understand, any Bungie staff who might happen across this, the weight of these words for me.
Take your game, and go -blam!- yourself with it.
I bought this game, with money I earned. It was an incomplete mess in most places, but it was fun enough and the good times were good enough that I complained only when I really felt like things were lacking. There are some truly great things about Destiny that shine through the bad, and equally there are a lot of really frustratingly poor choices that undermine the good, but at the end of the day I still came back every now and then to get some time in on a game I (for the most part) enjoyed.
To tell me now, a year on, that I can't play that game any more because you just decided so, is -blam!-ing robbery.
-blam!-ing. Robbery.
So I'm done. With Destiny, and with Bungie. I really mean that.
This last year has been enlightening. Halo was a masterpiece, and I love it and always will. So how the hell such a clearly talented and forward thinking studio could manage to get everything so colossally wrong at virtually every turn, and shit on your community on a daily basis is just beyond me.
Your tactics are a joke. Your approach to DLC and content locking is beyond farcical, and to think that no doubt there's some celebration going on in honour of the release of the Taken King genuinely makes me angry. Because you've made it abundantly clear that you don't give two shits about the people who bought your product believing it would be even close to what was promised, only that they were fool enough to give you their money. Luke Smith's interview has forever left a sour taste in my mouth, but I was willing to forgive if things turned around. This latest development has shown that things are obviously never going to change.
So this is me making it equally clear, in no uncertain terms. I'm done with your shitty approach to games, and your absolutely shameful, disgusting money grubbing and corner-cutting. If this is what Bungie now represents, I don't see myself putting down money on any future endeavours either, which is a shame because truly, you guys were one of the reasons I studied for, and now have a degree in Game Design.
Respectfully, up yours.

1 ReplyBump Can't believe people are being locked out of vanilla/how/tdb content so my $60+$35= $95 on Xbox 360t Then adding another 95+40=135 for Xbox one means nothing unless I purchase TTK ??? So for $135 I'm locked out of being able to play 50% of content I've already paid for unless I spend another $40 for a grand total of $175?? How does this make any sense at all? I will not be purchasing anytime soon thanks
