Bungie will lose so much money if they do this. Do you think theyre actually gonna hand out one of the best selling video games of all time? Lol.
No sane person would do this.

If they charge the same amount of money for a digital download that doesn't require them to manufacture anything and can't be resold they will lose money? Economics, you should learn them.

You have a point, but im 100% confident in my economic skillz and bungie will sell a second CD.

Never said they wouldn't. I wont even bring economics to that conversation. Honestly it there business model unfortunately as unimaginative as it maybe bungie will probably remain small because of it. By small I mean a sub contract to larger firms. 75 percent of their profit over the next ten years belongs to Activision and they needed a revolutionary blockbuster to pull them out of the rut they have been in since the beginning.

Sounds about correct. I think the art in this game is near perfect, weapon names, level design, character customization, raids, fireteams, perks....everything is well made. However the story, grimoire, and tower should have been improved. I just imagine this game with more planets, more towers, and a better story.

Laterally you are wrong longevity increases profit and player bases. Players feel committed and purchase the expansions to continue the experience. Also majority profit comes from the first month the game is released its a burst profit moto after the first month new copies sales fall off. Due to in part of used game stores since all sale from them are solely profit for that individuals company and with the mentality of I can save a buck ppl get the used game. With longevity it allows for Micro-transactions(external economy) for cosmetics rotated out correctly followed by an internal economy for older cosmetics in fact boosts player retention and profit. Followed by tournaments and give aways. You build a long term community influencing young consumers and building empire. When a player feels like they are part of something bigger that spreads to others increasing player base and in turn increasing sales
