Because it's an add on to the game. In fact all expansions should cost something. Now how much is debatable. "It's already on the disc" so you mean they left room for seamless additions? So if I buy enough land next to my house is the stuff I put on it also free? "TDB was a rip off"......touché but still free doesn't fix it. People bought the super awesome collector version and people bought expansion passes. So if HoW is free then Bungie is saying "-blam!- the people who paid ahead to help fund our endeavors. Let's cater to the freeloaders." Yeah that's not good business. "But the game feels incomplete" well so does my burger but that doesn't mean that in n out will go fetch bacon from Stater Bros, cook it up for me and give me it at no charge. TL;DR just buy it or don't. Don't remind us of your privilege sense of self you have because you play a game and want to feel special when the truth is there are 17 million Destiny players, worldwide. There are a hundreds of players with your exact loadout/armor/shader situation so you aren't that much a snowflake. TL;DR of the TL;DR garrrrrrrrrrrrrr edit: I know it costs money, this was my contribution after seeing so many "I want free" posts and laughed at the amount of stupidity that was in them. Oh wait uh people edit these things.. Wow replies blah blah Subscribe to twitch (I haven't) And hit the like button (or don't, this isn't reddit) Edit 2: adjusted the title to all dlc since I rustled a many jimmies apparently saying just HoW. That or maybe I should label this something sensible like "git gjallarhorn scrub AMA for 1000 likes I'll name my girlfriend Nerf Xur" Yes obvious post is obvious, that's the point. Blah blah trending blah Follow me on the Weather Channel Or In an unmarked car
