Around the 8 minute mark.
Maybe you recognize me from the thread I made a couple days ago highlighting this issue. Interestingly, with almost 3000 replies neither DeeJ or Cozmo commented on it, despite my numerous attempts to contact them. My PMs were also ignored.
I was also banned from replying to my own post, so there's that, as well as another user who said nothing wrong either but was simply helping me to get this issue recognized.
DeeJ confirmed this to be true. In one quick sentence he basically says look at the fine print. Meaning, on some level, it's our job to find this crap out instead of them doing it themselves.
This effectively hurts all who play destiny. Xbox owners like me, of course, get the blunt of this as we are restricted from content for yet another year.
PlayStation owners also are hurt from this, believe it or not. For those who still have not gotten the exclusive guns and were eagerly waiting for Xûr to sell them, you're out of luck. Xûr will now not be able to sell them for another year.
Perhaps you enjoyed Echo Chamber. Too bad, now it can't be the Nightfall for another year.
Or, maybe you actually do enjoy Sector 618. Sucks for you, it now cannot be a Trials of Osiris map for another year.
I wish I could say I'm joking, but as ridiculous as this sounded it's all true.
Well done, Activision/Sony. Fantastic work on dividing the playerbase of this game even more. Actually, it's pretty funny, PS4 players are starting to support Xbox more and more in this.
Edit 1: No mention of this in the Weekly Update.
I appreciate all the positivity I've seen in this thread. Keep it up, boys and girls. Let's work together to get more people aware of this.
Edit 2: User Twigg814 has linked us to Activision's BBB (Better Business Bureau) page. If you call the number, they will file your complaint and from what I'm aware of they will decide if they agree with us or Activision. I can't say I'm too familiar with this type of stuff, so don't take my word on this.
I originally put the link in the OP, but on second thoughts have removed it. I don't know how well mods or ninjas would take to having something involving legal action in the OP.
Edit 3: It looks like this post is moving down the forums. That's not unusual as I'm suspecting it's pushing this down so other posts can get visibility.
It's unfortunate, but this post did its job of getting people to know about this. Thanks for all the support, everyone! Let's keep at it.
Additionally, some have asked if they can copy this and repost it so it's always on the forum until Bungie comments. I give you permission to do so.
UPDATE: User Alovon will be reposting this. Bump and upvote his post as well!

I'm tired of portions of my game being locked away for a year or more

Bump. I think xbox and pc users should pay less for the game than PS4 users. After all they r getting more content than us and a better gaming experience. If they pull this s**t with Destiny 2 I wont be buying the game.

Editado por lietenantdan: 8/28/2016 6:27:39 PMI don't think there should be exclusives at all. But since there are, playstation and xbox should be on different nightfall/xur schedules.

5 RespuestasThey never said "coming fall of 2016". A handful of kids made an ignorant assumption.

Editado por Wasted Ellipsis: 8/27/2016 9:10:19 PMIt's mind boggling how no one understands why Bungie cannot comment on this... It's between Activision and Sony, Bungie has no say in it, they only retain creative control over Destiny... Activision controls everything else... Without Activision paying to develop Destiny, there would be no Destiny... If it means this much, go out and buy a PS4... The world of gaming won't change, no matter how much of a scene you make... If anything all of this is showing Sony that their money is well spent...

4 RespuestasGood detective work op. Fortunately, Doom and Deus Ex will hold me over while I skip Rise of Iron.

9 RespuestasEditado por Elitespear: 8/22/2016 2:46:18 PMBe grateful. Sector 618 is the worst map I've ever played in my life. Jade rabbit isn't as good as a Badger CCL or Colovances duty and Zen meteor is just a gimmick that you'll never actually use. Some of the exclusive legendary armour looks decent though.

1 RespuestaOmg really I been looking foward to finally doing that strike and using the jade rabbit wtf what next treat do the ps4 owners get lol and do I have to wait 2 years to see that to

7 RespuestasEditado por Himalayan Salt: 8/26/2016 12:11:49 AMDoes nobody understand business deals? Bungie would make buying Destiny on PS4 more enticing than buying it on the Xbox, and in return Sony would help pay for the game, be it going directly to the studio (for the sake of making the game better) or helping Activision pay for advertising. It's the really basic "scratch each others' backs" concept. So why, damnit, do you expect PS exclusives to stop? Why do you think Bungie would ever make Xbox exclusives? This deal is working out for them. Your pissing yourself isn't going to do much of anything. [spoiler]I dare you to check my profile and see which console I play on.[/spoiler] EDIT: Most of you are mostly pissed that the year 2 exclusives aren't coming to Xbox this year. Remember the business deal. Bungie isn't entitled to give you anything that's considered a PS Exclusive. Matter of fact, it could be so that the deal isn't increasing PS sales as much as Sony wanted so this is probably an act of them strangling Bungie into doing more.

5 RespuestasHi all. I would like to inform you that no one really cares about this post. That will be all for now.

9 RespuestasI really wish one of our comunity reps would pipe up and explain the reasoning for this already. What's the point in trying to cover up or be vague. It reminds me if something my kids do when they are making an excuse for not doing something they should have done, or for doing something they shouldn't have.
-
2 RespuestasEditado por M00se: 8/24/2016 1:38:58 PMThere shouldn't be exclusives to begin with. There are big youtubers and twitch streamers that share this ideology aswell. It tears the community apart and further sparks controversy between two consoles. Be a dick and pour fuel into a fire that others are trying to put out and have their voices heard. If you stir things up like Cele2112 then YOU ARE NOT WELCOME IN THIS COMMUNITY
-
1 RespuestaBump. Not letting this die.

It's been over a week and still no statement from Bungie. Bungie needs to respond to this.
-
The strike and map is garbage.
-
Good work on your report I personally don't care because legendary are better but I have friends who are upset about it. Paying full price for a incomplete game is bad trend that needs to stop. Last time I checked it didn't work for call of duty as sold better on xbox console. To Sony people who defined this practice you all people should no how annoying it is deejay cosmo for shame only poping up when you selling something silver pre order ext. If your fans ask you question at least have decency clear it up .psychological fan boys are stupid. Unless you own stock.
-
1 RespuestaWhat the Sony supporters don't understand is that WE ARE NOT MAD ABOUT THE EXCLUSIVES, EVERY PLATFORM HAS THEM(even to the consumers distaste), WE ARE MAD ABOIT HOW LONG WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR CONTENT THAT WAS RELEASED IN 2015, we got over waiting a year for content but to make us wait 2 is ridiculous. That's what we're mad about.
-
It's not bungie or activision, Sony had a contract until D2 which got pushed back 12 months and they're digging their heels in. Microsoft would have done the same it's business please understand that for crying out loud.

It's incredibly scummy, the way Bungie is burying this post. It most definitely is "trending".
