No but they did screw us over by forcing us to buy HoW and TDB just to play TTK.

? TTK was $40 solo, or $60 with all prior content when it came out (i.e. the cost of a normal game) Your comment is either irrelevant, or you dont understand what is being conversed about?

I had vanilla + how. I was forced to pay an extra 20 for TDB which I did not want in order to get TTK. In addition you yourself just stated that ttk was 60 instead of 40 for those who already had vanilla but did not want HoW or TDB at all. Do you get it now?

Not my fault or bungies you didnt buy all the content. You skipped a DLC thats your fault. Pretty simple concept though, if you want the new content you had to have all of it. Why you had vanilla but skipped TDB and had HoW is beyond me. Im sorry bud but you're definitely the .1% in that scenario not the norm.

[quote] You skipped a DLC thats your fault.

There is no other game in existence that does this. Borderlands does not force you to buy tiny tinas dlc to buy torgues dlc. Fallout 4 did not require you to buy far harbor in order to buy nuka world. Mass effect 3 didnt require you to buy from ashes in order to buy leviathan. Bioshock infinite did not require you to buy clash in the clouds to get burial at sea. Even call of duty does not require you to buy a previous map pack in order to get the new one. Heck even in an episodic series from telltale I bet you can just buy the last episode if you wanted to. (I am unsure about this one) World of warcraft goes a step further. When a new expansion comes out the previous ones are given to you for FREE regardless of if you even buy the new one. I am sorry but what you just said and what bungie did is absolutely absurd and I am certain you cant justify it with a single example within the video game industry. The only possible other examples would only come from pc MMOs but WoW is the leader on that front.

Oh and also in TTK theres is TONS of times where it references and forces you to go to places that were only made available during TDB and TTK? Again content that is needed in order to complete storylines and questlines. So it is completely acceptable that they would want you to own those 2 expansions. Again, destiny is a completely different game than anything you referenced in your feeble attempt to make sense of your argument

You do not need to play TDB story to access anything in TTK. its 100% skippable. And for example the mission that you sneak into the raid. I would not consider that requiring TDB to play because its in the TTK storyline.

I dont care what you consider, it was TDB content. Its completely understandable theyd want you to have content. Plus theres tons of side quests and maun story quests that pull from TDB content. You "considering" it being TTK content doesnt matter. Im done arguing with the .01% on this topic. Bungie does not give a S$%t about the .01% (which is you) your opinion doesnt matter when its a massive anomaly compared to the millions of players on its game.

This isnt about me. Its about a business practice that doesnt exist anywhere. It doesnt matter if it affects 0% its an objectively questionable business practice. And again no. If it was not in TDB like that mission was not than it was not a part of it. The fact that they reused the area is irrelevant, the mission was new. The only reason you have given for it to be ok is that bungie did it and everybody bought it, therefore its fine. I am amazed at the lengths you are going to to defend bungie for something that was so obviously wrong, doesnt really matter in anyway because it happened so long ago, and doesnt affect you in the slightest.

Im amazed that youre going so in depth about a business practice that is actually common in a lot of things. Im not defending bungie im defending the world from you and your ridiculously ignorant opinion on how "business works" You referenced video games that actually DO Require you to have past content, they just chose to give it away for free after extended periods of time. Anything that is server based has to incorporate it. For example you are unable to play default CoD and Halo playlists once they have been put into the default PvP gamemode. So technically you shouldnt be allowed to play trials or crucible when maps like pantheon or cauldron were in rotation. system literally cant figure out who purchased item A. and didn't buy B. While giving both access to item C. They are all linked. In all reality Bungie probably assumed that the 99.9% who bought TTK for $40 already owned all prior expansions which is true. Therefore the should waste time and effort trying to cater to your dumba$$ so you could save $20.

You realize you're the .01% in this debate dont you? All of your examples are also irrelevant because none are even similar at all to destiny. Maybe borderlands but not really. None of those games forced you to play online only, none of them were as socially interactive, and any game server based with other people actually did require you to have the content they just gave it away for free when it became so old (ala Call of Dookie) I could make compelling arguments by referencing things that don't have anything to do with the conversation also, but its not worth the time. Btw, not having TDB would have actully not allowed you to play some parts of TTK and not have some weapons or armor available to you at all (specific exotics and gear and what not that were introduced in TDB) so you're basically saying because you decided not to buy it you should get that content for free? You're apparently the exact person ive referenced in my original point who does not understand simple business practices Also why the hell did you play an outdated Raid with ZERO value 18 times after TTK was released? Im actually starting to not even believe you didnt buy TDB and you're just one of "those" people who goes on the internet looking for something to argue or be offended by [spoiler]again, you're literally the only person ive met in the thousands of hours ive spent playing this game that bought vanilla, not TDB, and then bought HoW, hence the .01%[/spoiler]
