The Cabal in the room

I want a specific answer to a specific question, why am i and a lot of people paying more for bungies dlc than we should be. DeeJ already answered this question " I did ask this question and I was told something about international trade tariffs and blah, blah, blah. Global Finance is my achilles heel. I'm sorry you're feeling as if we're treating you unfairly. At Bungie, we make games. You can lament Xur and his erratic inventory to me. Other costs of doing business are beyond my reach." https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/82527521/0/0/1 Fair enough but i need more detail. If its about the cost of living in both countries than why are games generally sold at £40/$60. If its about tariffs and things i generally don't understand too well then explain them properly. Call of Duty: Advanced warfare who's publisher is also activision dlc is fair, for ps4 it's $49.99 or £35.99. I have no problem paying £50 for TTK i really enjoy playing the game as long as it would be $75, i don't mind "throwing money at the screen" as long as we all throw the same amount of money at the screen. It feels like Bungie is bending us over a desk and having their way with us. If i continue to support Destiny paying for just at the very least buying two of the smaller dlc a year with the buy two pay £35/$35 (e.g TDB & HoW) for 10 years that's £350 or $350. £350 is worth $549.98. That's $199 more than i think i should be playing. If i diligently buy two smaller dlc at £35 and an expansion at £40 every year that's £750/$750. £750 is $1179. Paying a potential $429 extra for reason's not properly explained to me is unacceptable. I've already pointed out two examples that show the model of exchange is generally fair. If i'm being an idiot then that's fine. I just want someone to explain to me why i feel like i'm being taken advantage of and better yet a very clear explanation from Bungie themselves. I might not understand it, but someone somewhere will and then we can put this issue to bed. Yes no one is asking anyone to buy the dlc but i really do love the game and the fact that's its managed to change alot since launch, i would happily pay more to support it. If you think the current system is fair and live in America would you also be happy to pay more to support it. Edit 1 - I'd just like to thank everyone who's replied so far in this post because the information has been helpful, the article by Cloney was a great read and i urge everyone to have a look.
