Can Bungie get sued for vaulting?
This started as a reply to Hunter Joe in a different thread but after thinking about it I feel like it needs to be a thread of its own
[quote]C. Good for you. But as it turns out, 98% of the community doesn’t touch these planets unless they’re grinding out milestones. Bungie has teams that analyze what does and doesn’t get engaged with and they’ve clearly singled out the planets with the least consistent engagement.[/quote]
LOL. What? Uh no, dude. They're clearly singling out the planets that AREN'T part of the paid expansions so they can justify vaulting them by saying they're only retiring "free" content. But as the OP noted, it's only free if you started playing this game LAST YEAR. The vast majority of us paid for vanilla Destiny. I bought the collectors edition for $200 on eBay (yeah, I know I got r@ped) AND Osiris AND Warmind.
People don't realize how unprecedented this is. They're taking away something that literally millions of people paid for. Even Datto was shocked by vaulting and he usually just regurgitates Bungie talking points.
Can Bungie face legal action for this? Even if we signed user agreements, they don't supercede laws against things such as false advertising which would render theses agreements null and void. [Example: you can't sign a contract to voluntarily become someone's slave since slavery is illegal and therefore the contract would be illegal]

1 ReplyEdited by I ARE JOE: 2/15/2021 12:08:16 AMI personally think a bunch of players should get together and form a class action lawsuit against bungie for vaulting and sunsetting. It's down right an immoral thing to do since people paid for content that they can't even play and are forced to pay for an upgrade if they want to continue. Who cares how much it costs? We need to send a message to bungie who clearly isn't listening and continues they shady business practices.

2 RepliesIf this will be a thing, I will be in. From my point of view, since I always pre-ordered and payed for the collector's edition is stealing. I left D2 because of this shit and ig there will ever be a class action lawsuit and I can, I will get in. I bought a game, I bought some content, and I want to play it. Well, if I knew what would happen, I would have not bought it.

8 RepliesAbsolutely not. Here is the link with all the legalese. [url=https://www.bungie.net/7/en/Legal/SLA][/url] Especially this part : [quote]LIVE CONTENT: “Live Content" consists of content provided to Program users (e.g., unlockable content, gear, live events, activities, destinations, accounts, stats, virtual assets, virtual currencies, codes, and achievements) in connection with use of the Program. While the Program may allow you to “earn”, "buy", or "purchase" Live Content within or in connection with gameplay, you do not in fact own or have any property interest in the Live Content. Unless otherwise specified in writing, any Live Content that you receive is licensed to you as set forth herein, and you shall have no ownership right thereto. Unless specifically permitted by Bungie, you may not, sell, lend, rent, trade, or otherwise transfer any Live Content. [i]Live Content may be altered, removed, deleted, or discontinued by Bungie at any time (e.g., upon termination of this Agreement and/or cessation of online support for the Program), even if you have not “used” or “consumed” the Live Content prior to alteration, removal, deletion, or discontinuation. Some Live Content, including without limitation, activities, maps, and gear, may be made available to players for only a limited time. Live Content has no monetary value and does not constitute property of any type.[/i][/quote] You agreed to all of this when you first played the game and accepted the terms, so no lawsuit would ever go anywhere. ☠

4 RepliesIf you read the ToS you're not purchasing anything. You are purchasing the license to play the content, content that Bungie can at any time remove. You do not own anything in game. You merely own a license to play the game. So no, it would not hold up in court.

2 RepliesNope. They have to right to alter, change, or remove any content they want. And you even agreed to it when you agreed to the ToS
