Expensive DLC?

Too expensive

Worth it

I've heard many times over that the [u][i]downloadable content for destiny is a ripoff[/i][/u], I however disagree as I do understand that destiny couldn't of been cheap to build, not to mention the years of dlc to come and constantly working on patches But bottom line is I don't think that we will see the future DLC without us paying the little extra for downloadable content than other games What do you think?

  • I still feel the game is value for money, however, there is one issue that Bungie does not seem to want to discuss, or even bring to the table an explanation. Pricing, and the actual value, how that varies dependant on the country you are in. So, lets say the US $40 price is the base value, we'll forget about U.S. Sales Tax for a moment, now it's £40 in the UK, and 40Euros. Not sure if anybody explained how exchange rates work. Currently at $40, it should be £25 (roughly) If we use that $40 as the base value, then add UK Digital Sales Tax, then we come to around £30. So why, Bungie, why have you decided to rip off everyone outside the US? Why did you exclude us from the red bull promotion? The value, in real terms, should be the same across the community. Not the same numerically. I've tried contacting Bungie, Activision, directly via social media, Reddit, here, nothing. No answer. Ignorance. There are a lot of people feeling the dlc is outpricing them from continuing Destiny. Yu'd think Bungie would be bothered. Don't get me wrong, I think Destiny 2.0 will be worth £40, but why should I pay £40 when the real value is only £30, when you put the UK on a par with the US?

    • Not sure anyone noticed we are going to version 2.0. This means a real break from previous version and hence we are heading toward a new direction and future. So far, if you already owns the game and DLCs, the new version is only around EUR 40,00, that's less than 4,00/month. Of course you don't get all the "special" stuff you could get from the more expensive collector and legendary editions. But once more, reported to a full year it is not that expensive and you will certainly spend the difference in stupid stuff anyway in the end, won't you? ;-)
