At the very least don't pre order it. Bungie believes they can wrap up whatever abortion of content they want and slap a $40-$80 price tag on it and people will buy it. The sad truth is they aren't wrong. This game from the very beginning has been a stream of disappointment and despite making large strides to better it Bungie still can't seem to grasp that people are fed up and rightfully so.
I'm hearing that they'll be coming out with something to honor first year players. That's cool and all but let me tell you that if they CARED about you in the first place they wouldn't have needed a PR disaster to mention it. Seriously open your eyes and look at what they're trying to sell you for at the very least 2/3rds of the cost of just the base game.
I'd highly suggest that in the current state of planned release you refrain from purchase. Even if you love playing Destiny buying this content will only fortify their position against you and your wallet. Don't feed the beast until after we see just how expansive this DLC will be. There will be plenty of competition this Fall and Bungie doesn't deserve your money for free. Make them earn it. Make them earn your play time because right now and since the very beginning they've been laughing at us.
Edit - Okay clearly many of you aren't quite getting what I am putting down so I'll attempt clarification. DO NOT PREORDER THE DLC "EXPANSION" UNTIL IT LAUNCHES. Wait and see just exactly how EXPANSIVE it will be. Look at how screwed we got over TDB and to a lesser extent HoW. When you give them money before they release the content they have zero obligation to release a fair amount of new and quality stuff. We've shown them twice already that we're content with whatever dismal droppings they'll throw at us. I LOVE DESTINY. I want destiny to be BETTER that's why I TOOK THE TIME to write this lengthy post to incite discussion on DLC practices. NOT TO TELL YOU WHAT YOU CAN OR CANT SPEND YOUR MONEY ON but to put forth an idea on how to show Bungivision were sick of paying top dollar for rehashed garbage and we're not going to achieve that if we're content with the current plans for the DLC drop. Don't let them have your money until you're absolutely sure it's worth it. We need to stand against predatory DLC practices united or else they've already won and any future DLC and Destiny 2 will be the same old tune.

Why the eff would you preorder an unlimited digital game? I mean seriously, you're giving away money that could be used elsewhere to a company that puts it in a bank and earns interest. I promise they won't run out and you won't ever get burned by a bad game again.

4 RepliesWhat I don't get is why people feel the need to try to make other people boycott game developers when they aren't satisfied. If you don't want TTK, then don't buy it. I, on the other hand, want it. So I'm gonna buy it, especially since a day of work more than covers the price. As far as feeding the beast is concerned, why are you still around 9 months after release if it has been a "stream of disappointment"? Get a different video game and just leave Destiny alone until more details come out.

13 RepliesI honestly can't understand how there are still players on here defending Bungie over this. How can you justify that what they are doing with TTK is right? They are doing this because they know that they can get away with it and continue to rob us of our money with half-arsed results. Sorry, but rehashing the same content in the last two DLCs and then forcing Year-One (especially Day 1) players to toss out $80 for content that is already owned in order to obtain NEW exclusive content CANNOT be justified. This is not just another sparrow or weapon that you can repaint a different color and call it "new". Bungie has clearly proved to be money grubbers with no respect for their loyal fans/players. Why are we encouraging this???

1 ReplyI remember getting hyped for Destiny...somewhat of a let down I remember hype for TDB...super let down I remember not hyping for HoW because of TDB...I wasn't let down because wasn't hyped. Can't wait to not hype for TTK!

2 RepliesI am frustrated by how often the servers have been down lately, so for that reason alone I would hesitate to spend more money on Destiny. Why put even more money into a game I can hardly play because it is offline so much?

Did the collectors edition come with the new sparrow?

1 ReplyUnfortunately for you, I'm buying it. $40 bucks for something I'll play for months is good, because that's actually cheap. Plus, they did earn my money, and it's got content equal to about 2/3 of the game. TL;DR You can't tell me what to do.
-
I have taken this stance. I have sunk a shit ton of hrs into this game and am in for the long haul. But I ain't buying any of the content until it is made official what exactly all comes with TTK.

I agree, completely and in light of this bullshit regarding the collector's edition AND red bull early access I am -blam!-ing done with this game. DONE, you hear that Bungie. Get your greed in check or else you're going to be losing a lot more people.
