No. If Bungie never developed Destiny for both generations, then They wouldn't have to make DLC for both. However, since Bungie did in fact make the game for both gens, they must continue to support both games until the end. Bungie committed to this path. Now they have to keep the commitment. I play on Xbox one. I originally had the game on 360 before making the move, and still play on 360 quite a bit. I know that the game is held back by older software. Yet this game must remain the same for everybody. You can't just drop off half the community at this point just because some people did not move on; they bought the same game with promise of having the same experience across all systems. Now for the next game, it better be current gen only. By 2016 the players who haven't made the move will simply be left behind, as they failed to move up with the hardware even after a generous 3 year period for transition. But, for this game, equal support for all versions or support for none.

  • Actually they only have to support them until Sony or Microsoft does. Microsoft has said that they are turning off live for 360 sometime in the next year

  • Exactly. That's supporting them until the end. By then, 3 years would have passed. If people fail to upgrade after that grace period, they will simply be left behind. It is not unfair, and the "I don't have the money" excuse will not work anymore by then. Technology has always advanced fast, and those who do not adapt to the changing times are left in the dust. As cruel as it may be we can't support 9 year old tech forever.

  • Microsoft lied. When they see the millions per month they are making from people with Live on 360 only, it won't happen.

  • Yes it will for 2 reasons. 1. They did it with the og Xbox, why not this one. 2. If they cancel live on 360, most people will buy an xbone

If they feel like shutting down the last gen systems, they can and will if it effects the companies bottom line enough.

  • If you wish to see it that way, then good. It is still profitable for them to sell to the older generation of consoles. More than enough players still have them to make a sizable profit, and cutting them off to produce solely for newer consoles would not mean they could make what we have that much better. They would most likely lose money if they stopped producing for the older consoles.

  • Hey, I could give a shit if people want to play on old consoles. I was just letting you know that that specific portion of your post is wrong, and makes you sound incredibly entitled. That is all!
