Edit: Many people saying that it doesn't specifically say that the paid DLCs will come back. Well let my friend Coyote X Starrk put it more obviously on his response
[quote]Destiny's microtransactions and paid expansions are both selling well, Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg said on an earnings call today, November 3. [u][i]As such, Destiny players can expect to see more of both in the future.[/i][/u][/b][/quote]
Thx to Coyote X Starrk for clarifying this

2 AntwortenGood. Dont want free DLC. Revenue = content
-
Destiny? Free? What? Idiots
-
3 AntwortenHaha glad I dropped this game a while ago. November 10th can't come any sooner!
-
Can you even read brah? The analyst specifically asked if Destiny was changing its business model somewhat to favor microtransactions over paid expansions. Hirshberg didn't respond with anything definitive.

1 AntwortenI don't think there was any misdirection and no real greed either in this. Well still be getting bonus content for free but there will be no destiny 2 like everyone thinks. We are going to keep getting big dlc drops every year and of course we'll have to pay for them. It's a model similar to the one wow has been trying at (albeit wow has a sub as well). We won't be getting destiny two because a sequel implies a complete removal of previous iterations. If we got destiny 2 it would mean that even if we kept our guardians we'd be losing all the base game worlds and content for new content. Dlc/expansion adds on to already existing content which is what I think bungie means here. I will say though that the dlc might be $60 instead of $40 this time around. This is not to say that bungie isn't it wasn't greedy in other ways or that try haven't made messed up decisions before just what is the most likely outcome from trends and quotes I've seen so far.

3 AntwortenThat's alright, it sounds like they've got a new playerbase to leech from. I had plenty of fun with Destiny while it lasted, but I guess it's time to pass the torch. Enjoy the future of De$tiny, young guardians, I'll still see what's going on via the forums while I'm pooping.

A man can hope, but with Activi$ion at the head, all hope is lost.

4 AntwortenWho cares? Plan on Bungie to give a fukc? If you're unhappy of what they're doing LEAVE.
-
We will likely see paid dlc and free dlc.
-
4 AntwortenIt said there's gonna be both. Jesus can you -blam!-ers not read?
-
These guys are happy with anything, though. They're easy to please. Throw together a half-assed Xmas Festival with some legendary fake beards and reskinned consumables to advertise and promote the selling of some lame dance moves and these guys are on it, lapping it up like flies on shite. It's free DLC ennit, they love it.

10 AntwortenLmfao! You people are so retarded lol. You kids need to stop using mommy's credit card and open your eyes. There is no free DLC. When you kids grow up the first thing you will learn in life is that nothing is free. There will be more DLC sold and more micro-transactions. There will be no free DLC. Micro transactions will fund events such as Festival of the Lost and things like that. You will receive no free content in terms of DLC sorry to break your fan bot bubble.

1 AntwortenBecause Activision you're welcome

27 AntwortenFestival of the lost was free DLC, as small as it was.

6 AntwortenThis was maybe a good argument in the 2014, but as of today hoping in a free dlc means you are just stupid (which is not super bad, your stupidity will actually bring you a ton of good things in your life, but not a free dlc)

Well I'll pay for both as long as they keep me interested.

The analyst specifically asked if Destiny was changing its business model somewhat to favor microtransactions over paid expansions. [u][b][i]Hirshberg didn't respond with anything definitive.[/i][/b][/u] "As far as any shifts in strategy, [u][i][b]I don't have any announcments today, but I think we have a lot of options at our disposal," [/b][/i][/u]he said. "And the reason for that of course is that we have such great engagement with this game." Those are the key words there, he didn't confirmed anything to begin with, if micro transactions sell more (and they will because people are stupid), they will change the model to that system alone. Open your eyes to the future of an almost sub only game, and stop thinking they aren't on it only for the money.

You literally saw the phrase "micro transactions and expansions can coexist" and then came here to make this post. You literally didn't even read the article. Nowhere did it say that free dlc won't be happening, and it'll all be micro transactions now. Ignorance.

9 AntwortenBut that says nothing about about a drip of steady but small content being released every so often until the next expansion. It doesn't say there won't be [i]any[/i] content that's brought in because of the micro transactions, just that expansions will still have to be paid for. We were never told that we'd get expansions this way in the first place. But as long as it stays with cosmetic items only then I'm happy - so as long as it doesn't end up being something like £5.00 for legendary weapon set/ marks pack then I'm fine. And don't respond with the "slippery slope" argument, seen it too many times and the only thing that's actually valid in the entire instance is that no one but bungie and Activision know what's gonna happen with it, jumping to conclusions is almost literally the worst thing we can do at the moment. [spoiler]i say all of this and yet I'm actually a little burnt out with destiny at the moment so I'm on syndicate...[/spoiler]

10 AntwortenWith millions willing to pay to play, why wouldn't they charge for EVERYTHING. Hell, we don't even own the GAME after all we have paid. This is Luke Smith: We asked about Bungie leaving year-one players behind. “I think we didn’t do a good job of explaining that ahead of time... We also haven’t done a great job of explaining what is content that players own and what’s programmed content—things that are subject to change.”
