What you fail to understand is games cost 60$ 7 years ago. If you're dealing with economic growth you should understand that games now should be double that price. Do you even take into account the amount of work and people it takes to develop a game. All of your theories on why games are packaged and sold are pure speculation. The cost to keep up the servers and the employees to manage them. If you can write the code that would make this game exactly how you want send it into bungie I'm sure they would take a look at it. This is the landscape of how games are sold. Deal with it or don't buy or play the games sold this way. Watch the credits all those people have to be paid. My salary has almost doubled over the last 7 years. They have to find ways to pay employees and make a profit. The more profit the more technology goes into it the better it gets. Wake up no one is out to get you. You think they want to sabotage their revenue stream by pissing everyone off.
