The Iron Gjallarhorn LIE!

For those who haven't heard, or didn't break out the magnifying glass and read all the fine print, don't expect to get on today and use your shiny new Iron Gjallarhorn. You see, you're not really getting the weapon like the thousand of commercials promised. It was all a corporate lie to make you spend your money. You only get the Gjally after you do the quest to get it, the same way as everyone else who didn't preorder it. The "Iron" stuff is only a skin, NOT the full weapon. Maybe I'm making too big of a deal about this, but I'm feeling very lied to right now. I agree the whole "pay real money for an in-game gun" idea was wrong from the start, but that's what they advertised for months. Now everybody gets on hoping to play with it only to figure out there was some small print somewhere that was hiding the truth? Bungie has lost my trust because of this. If I could return this preorder, I really might, just to tell them where to shove this corporate bullsh!t. This is some cheap move a company like EA would pull, I thought Bungie was above this. Edit: It's been a while since I've been on the forums, so maybe this was discussed and well known beforehand, but if you're going to be blind and not see the bullsh!t Bungie is trying to pull here, you're being ignorant. Maybe people who still play the game daily knew this, but for us millions of people who quit, this wasn't made common knowledge. This was a marketing scheme, a lie, and I'm not a Bungie homer who's gonna just say it's OK because it was in the fine print. Guess it just amazes me that so many people are used to this kind of crap from Bungie that they're OK with it... Edit 2: For those of you saying they discussed this on streams or on other forum posts, that is only addressing a small percentage of their audience. This obviously a marketing scheme aimed at people like me who haven't been paying attention to the game and all the details. Hiding the truth in the fine print should not be ok, and it saddens me to see many of you defend Bungie for this. Yes, this was my error for trusting what they said in the commercials, for trusting Bungie. I thought this was a company that wouldn't resort to this low level of trickery in order to get players back, guess I was wrong. I just don't think that yelling lies in your commercials is justified with small print. Edit 3: Do all of you work for insurance companies? Hiding the truth in fine print while deceiving your audience with false claims is not something that should be ok. When Comcast or AT&T pull this, everybody hates on them, so why is it ok for Bungie to do this? This was an intentionally deceptive campaign meant to trick people into buying this game. Whether or not you fell for it isn't the point, the point is that Bungie should be above this kind of crap and shouldn't have tried to lie to get players back.

    • You paid for a different look, it came with ROI, it unlocks after the quest. If you thought you would just get a free gun before everyone else you're an idiot. If b8, nice b8

      • This guy is an idiot. They give you the iron gally skin but you need to infuse it with the gally from the quest line.

        • Haha, do you guys seriously not remember the other pre-order weapons you were promised and how much of a letdown they were? Of course the Iron Ghally was a skin, what did you expect? They made it clear that you had to complete the quest line in order to actually use the Iron Ghally. That's why it's important to do your research before you buy another expansion from Bungie.

          • Face it you would have still pre ordered it. The fact that you have to complete a quest has been all over the place, they even said it on one of the streams. This is the problem here is "people like me who haven't been paying attention to the game"

          • By looking at the pre order bonus, who wouldn't see that it was an ornament. No shit it's a skin. You're telling me you thought there would be 2 ghorns? With the addition of ornaments it's obvious that's what it was. Besides, the price is still 30 bucks regardless. I knew I would buy it so I got the pre order. I knew that I wasn't getting a gun for free in the post master. Am I mad? Hell no. I knew what I was getting and read the bottom fine print. It wasn't a lie. You didn't inform yourself of the info that was already made public. Your fault. Blame yourself.

              It is your job as a consumer to do research on an item before buying it. You have no one to blame but yourself for you own idiocy. They have said in multiple forms of media and people have also posted on the forums about it just being a skin. It was literally ever where, even posted at places for pre-order. So stop making Bungie out to be the bad guy here. This is your fault and your fault alone - no one else's.
