OK, I'm tired of people saying it's all Bungies fault, it's ACTIVISION. They are the Producers, if they want Micro Transactions, it's going to happen. Developers do not get to chose everything that goes into their games, the Producer has more say than the Devs do. Get over yourselves you entitled Snowflakes.

Yes, Bungie couldv'e been contractually obligated to push microtransactions & they probably were. That still does not mean that they should place 58% of the total amount of items behind a paywall because that drives away your customers (further decreasing the amount of residual income you'd get from said microtransactions). If microtransactions have to be in the game, then it needs to be balanced & Bungie has overwhelmingly failed at doing that. As such, the only real recourse that their customer base is going to go with is the complete removal of the store. Otherwise, they risk losing even greater numbers of players.

It'll never happen, But they may remove some of the content from the Eververse somehow. You'll never see the Eververse be removed.

Honestly, I think Bungie have set themselves up for failure either way. They remove EV & Activision is mad about lost revenue. They keep EV & the playerbase is mad about Bungie not truly caring. Their best bet (that will still cause problems) is to increase the frequency of EV rewards the players get, decrease the silver/BD cost, & start placing the majority of items within the game itself. Having 1 or 2 "ultra-rare" shit being EV exclusive would be the trade-off but I just don't see them being able to wait out the crowd.

BUNGIE is not without blame. They pitched the idea to Activision and requested a change to their contract.

No if Activision was 100% responsible this game would probably be better not worse.

Not necessarily true
-
Eververse was completely Bungie's idea, not Activision.

Snowparry is correct.

Read the article. Can you read?

I'm going to chime in and say both parties are guilty.

While I can Agree with that, Activision has Final Say

Activision isn't dumb enough to say "No, we don't want you to implement this MTX system that you've proposed, Bungie."
