OP updated to better explain meaning of thread: [b]READ: Let's get something straight. I am vying for the rights of the consumer. This has nothing to do with your enjoyment of the game. The game was launched with a severe lack of content relative to what was alluded to at pre-launch. Instead of either delaying the game to allow time to finish the content that has already been started or adding in the full content for free, they're charging extra and labeling it DLC. If consumers continue to support this producers who put out unfulfilled games then add DLC that should've already been in the game after, this will become the norm. There are only negative consequences for consumers possible from this outcome.[/b] Let me elaborate on the main point of this thread: helping consumers. More a more recently developers are pushing out half-assed products that need DLC to fill what they lack. For example: Destiny. Pre-launch, we were promised a huge scope, excessive customizations and huge landscapes. What we actually received paled in comparison. Compared to what was alluded to pre-launch, the retail game severely lacks content. Now, players are find areas inside the disc game that are locked. Sure, some of them a simply polished textures, but others are nearly refined besides enemies and other variables. Yet, the fact remains that we are not able to access the entire game without paying extra money. By entire game, I'm implying what was alluded to before and even after launch. Presently, we are forced to wait for purchaseable downloadable content to truly complete what was supposed to be GOTY. I don't know about you, but this is an attemp to take complete control over the consumer. Products nowadays are becoming less and less refined than those of the past due to consumer ignorance. Consumers ignore the fact that producers are taking direct advantage over then for easy money. This is causing a loss in both quality and quantity that should be expected from a $60 AAA title. By allowing this to continue, all consumers will ultimately suffer. When producers see no reason to put that extra time and care into their game, as a large amount of ignorant consumers will still purchase then, we will be left with half-finished games that you'll need to pay above and beyond the price of $60 to fully take advantage if what you should've had available to you at launch. Here, we are talking about principles. Producers should feel obligated to delivery quality content to consumers. They shouldn't be allowed to take advantage of consumers by making them pay for more than just the disc to fully enjoy what the game has to offer. EDIT: How does the game feel complete to anyone? Bungie is practically penny-pinching consumers' money to finish off the game, while all the while they go around randomly nerfing things and continually sticking to the repetitive quality of the game. They make empty-statements and promises that end up in no significant change to the way the game is. Buying the DLC just gives the company further reason to continue this action, as they'll only see the profits that can come from such an activity. Obviously, as I've stated in response to a number of comments, I realize there can't be a change overnight. But, truly, the way Bungie and Activision are handling their new title is nothing to support. [b]EDIT 2:[/b]It seems many have misinterpreted the meaning behind this thread. I'm not asking developers to make the game I want, and I'm certainly not trying to act entitled. What I am doing, however, is hoping consumers will start making more educated decisions. That they will stop throwing out money to penny-pinchers, such as at EA and Activision, and instead actively support positive changes in the industry. This shift, though gradual, could eventually add up. And I know I'm speaking to a limited audience, and that nothing significant will occur spontaneously, nor over the next few years. But there still remains the principle that consumers play a large role, whether they choose to accept it or not, in the direction in which the industry is headed.
