The Microtransaction Method.

[b]Bungie:[/b] Hey guys, we thought it would be cool to introduce cosmetic emotes that you can buy for real money. There's no pressure though! [b]Player:[/b] Hmm sounds like a cash-grab, but as long as it doesn't affect how the game plays out I guess it's fine. [u]*1 DLC Later*[/u] [b]Bungieion:[/b] We were blown away by the positive feedback to Eververse's emotes! Now we are adding ships and shaders to purchase with Silver! [b]Player:[/b] I remember when you used to be able to [i]earn[/i] everything in this game. But it's all still cosmetic, so whatever. [u]*2 DLC's Later*[/u] [b]Bungievision:[/b] We have heard some people say they want exclusive Sparrows. They are coming soon to Eververse! [b]Player:[/b] Well, it's not going to have any real effect on PvP, so it's fair. [u]*Destiny 2 Releases*[/u] [b]Actibungie:[/b] It has come to our attention that some people can't get the right loot drops and are struggling to level up Light. Because of this, Tess will now sell Legendary and Exotic Armor Engrams for Silver. [b]Player:[/b] Everyone gets unlucky every once in a while! This is a great way to give everyone an equal chance to buy higher Light! [u]*3 DLC's Later*[/u] [b]Activisionie:[/b] Eververse will now sell exotic weapon engrams that drop exclusive guns you can't find anywhere else! [b]Player:[/b] Well, I guess you can already buy everything else in Destiny with real money! [u]*4 DLC's Later*[/u] [b]Activi$$$ion:[/b] It was a hard decision, but as a team we decided to ditch the current RNG-based loot system in favor of an all-microtansaction system. Each gun and armor piece must be purchased separately with Silver. [b]Player:[/b] Yay! Now I can finally get literally everything I want just by paying!! [u]*Destiny Expansion 2 Releases*[/u] [b]Activi$$$ionEA:[/b] Big news! We are pairing up with EA in addition to Bungie! Also, Destiny will now require a $20/month subscription fee. This is a dangerous game you are playing, Bungie. Do NOT let it get out of hand or you will lose many players like me who can see through your money-making schemes. Also, I shudder to think about this sinister implication: if what we are about to buy is called [i]Silver[/i], then what is... .... ....... ........... [i]GOLD??[/i]

  • I have been playing destiny for the majority of the time it has been out I have loved destiny and had many memories with it. The clan I was in used to be a very competitive clan we were the kind of people Who ran crota every week but slowly I've watched my fire team go our separate ways to Games such as bat man,forza, and MCC destiny has just Not changed I've bought the vanilla destiny game 3 times once Xbox 360 and one digital and one physical on Xbox one because I bought the legeandary taken King and I'm already Burnt out of the taken King does any one feel the same way
