There's not a lot of misinformation or speculation in here. It's a good post. What I will contend is that I don't believe value is as easy as to assess as content/dollar or time spent/dollar. People rationalize their attachments differently and with more variability than the tangible, obvious mathematic depiction. Humans are much more complex than that. Some would rather frequent a dive bar with 5 of their friends than ride solo at the finest restaurant in town; memories get made, bonds get made, and when one reflects on their experiences it brings a smile to their face. This is something destiny has gotten right. It's not a justification for their lack of content as I'm sure everyone would agree, but you can't put a price on shared experiences. They are literally priceless. Now to exclusively money... The game has overcharged the shit out of its player base. The above paragraph does not negate this truth, it only questions the ratio in which we evaluate our experiences. I actually had this epiphany recently that the reason bungie keeps saying "we're listening" while remaining silent and inactive is that they [i]are[/i] working on the wish list, but they don't receive optimal monetary growth by implementing everything in one update. They give us a little bit, then take things away. Then they give a little more. The cycle repeats. It's a -blam!-ed up business model that lets us down then picks up, but it's never enough for the majority to quit. And when destiny two releases will they still be saying they're listening? Three years in? Probably, and [i]that[/i] is the problem. Crumbs to keep the birds at your feet. Give them a full meal and they'll leave sooner. Anyway, good post. I find we do agree on a lot and it's always worth reading your opinions despite our sometimes-differences.
