The Taken King for Non-US Players

Edit: Hit up this post as well please, guys. https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/147761652/0/0/1 I and many others (including quite a few in the States) want a simple answer, Bungie. Why are you discriminating against non-US players? The world has an exchange rate. $1 does not equal £1 or €1. In my case (UK), you would be charging us almost double for the same amount of content as U.S. players. There is simply no excuse for this. I could buy the Legendary Edition with everything to date in it, with a physical disc and box, and have it delivered to my house, for £43. How do you possibly justify this? TTK should cost me £25 at most. That's a reasonable DLC price. This is not a full game, it's a DLC. Saying it's all about value is a bunch of bull, because you've valued it in the U.S. at £25 ($40). This is plain greed, and the worst part about it is that you simply do not care that you are driving away huge numbers of fans because of it. I have played Destiny since Day 1. In truth, I've never had truly unbelievable fun with it (due to a pretty shocking lack of content), but it's something to hop into and burn some time. I would like to get and play TTK, I really would, partly because it looks like a step toward what we should have gotten in the first place. But charging this much for it is just wrong, and to make it worse you don't even talk about it. People without TTK are going to be locked out and left behind as content is switched over to TTK and new weapons and gear make us obsolete. This is not a subscription based game, yet you treat it like it is, demanding (if the current model continues) about £75 per year to play for a year. We purchased a product from you that was incomplete. You have been dishonest, arrogant and downright disrespectful to the community that has kept you afloat (you sure as Hell didn't do it on rave reviews). A lot of people would like to continue with this game, myself included, but it simply isn't going to happen currently. I'm in the fortunate position that I can afford TTK quite easily, and if I knew I could trust you to deliver something actually worth it, I would purchase. But I can't. I don't trust you, Bungie, and you make it harder and harder to almost daily. Even if you could prove this was worth £40, it still wouldn't solve the problem, because our U.S. peers would still be getting the same amount of content for half the price, on top of all these other bonuses you are setting up that are U.S. only. You are more or less sweeping everything and everyone who partook in this first year under the rug. You don't talk to us beyond cryptic and infrequent paragraphs. You ignore some of our heartfelt requests for game changing improvements. You've have, quite simply, abandoned the people that allow you to keep making games. All I want, Bungie, is answers and some solid justification. None of this evasive developer speak that doesn't answer the question. A real answer. If you dropped the price, you'd get a lot more sales. At the minute, it's just bad business, and I simply cannot understand why a company, why you as gamers yourselves, would think this is an acceptable practice. Frankly, you should be ashamed of yourselves for treating your players this way. If anyone agrees with this, please sign or bump. Thank you to all who have bumped and continue to show support. Edit: 146 likes and 317 responses, Bungie. Edit 2: Not a peep on this issue, Bungie. That is just disgusting. You're ripping people off and don't even the stones to justify it. Greed, plain and simple.

  • I replied in another thread about this with the same thing, I'm from the U.S. and the overseas pricing is BULLSHIT. Period. It's bad enough all the other stuff they have done but if I feel like ttk is a ripoff, I can't even imagine how you all feel. Bungie are -blam!-ing up, man.
