Pre-order = Buying Hype You're literally buying the marketing. Informed consumers don't do that. Destiny's target demographic largely doesn't consist of informed consumers. Just regular everyday people who want to turn something on and run around in a digital space shooting things in the face. Among the demographic there's virtually no consideration for gaming as an art form, nor desire for intellectual engagement with it. It's kind of the reason I play it, let's me turn my brain off, very "thought optional" design, mostly reflex checks and muscle memory. It's a masterfully crafted hamster wheel. For that reason, Destiny will continue to do just fine. The overwhelming majority of its player base don't read up, don't lurk forums, and don't rightly care to. Interestingly enough, I can garuntee I'll enjoy Destiny just as much as I do right now with No DLC, as I would with all of it, TTK included. So they're making the hamster wheel a little bigger? Well let me check my account. Oh, sorry Bungie, it seems I'm currently at at zero balance of Give a Shits. Think I'll just wait, casually play Destiny as I play other games waiting for the Q4 heavy hitters (R6: Siege, SW: BF, AC: Syndicate, and Fallout 4), and get more free stuff from Bungie with no purchase necessary. Especially after this Luke Smith jackass fiasco, Bungie isn't getting anything from me without a OVERWHELMINGLY positive review with TTK. I'm talking 10/10, 5 stars, and so sexy you'd bang it if you could. Doubtful that'll happen, but no big deal, I'll have no shortage of games to play anyhow.
