This has nothing to do with self entitlement, in many games I've played dlc Content owners were separated from non dlc owners and those without the content continued their game as normal while those that did have the dlc played their new content without limiting others activities. Bungie just makes mistake after mistake, they seem like they forgot what gaming is and only see a wallet not full enough in front if them. [spoiler]I own the dark below, and I'm against limiting the playable content of other players to increase sales.[/spoiler]

This post is very insulting. Anyone who understands quality customer care and good business also understands that this is a greedy claw for more money. I can afford the dlc and was planning on purchasing it until i saw the business practices involved. Yes I do feel entitled to play the content I purchased. It feels very unfair and even most people who purchased the dlc are not pleased with how shallow it feels, please please please if you are reading this research Microsofts business practices in the 90s

This breed of fanboy bullshit is destructive to the game and the industry at large. If you actually find justification in deliberately reducing functionality of the core game to facilitate a marketing strategy, you are part of the problem. New stuff gets added? Only players who buy new stuff can get the new stuff. That's a very normal concept. But telling the players who didn't buy the new stuff that the game they had December 7th is going to deliberately be made less functional to boost short term revenue on December 8th is extremely anti-consumer. The only people who will impulse buy the DLC due to the week lock out are witless idiots. Rational, thinking, informed consumers are not going to fall prey to such low brow marketing tactics. You're getting pissed on and they aren't even giving you the courtesy of calling it rain. It's a giant "F@#% YOU! PAY ME!" Activision and Bungie have no concerns for consumer loyalty, or building a long term IP. Just wait until those Sony exclusive deals run out, and watch every DLC and exclusive item this entire fan base bitched and moaned about be bundled together for a "Destiny: Complete Edition" for PC in about a years time, for $60. After they've bullshitted everyone long enough and nickel and dimed their target demographic with scraps of DLC, they'll just shrug you off with more "F@#% YOU! PAY ME!". They're bending you idiots over and ramming their marketing right up your ass, and you're so short sighted you're actually defending them as they do it. They're taking advantage of a really, really, really stupid target demographic, and it's an insanely effective marketing. Truly there has never been such an amazing business strategy ever implemented in a game design than there is with Destiny. Posts like this are proof of how astonishingly stupid their target demographic is, and how remarkably well they've marketed to these clueless, uninformed, dim witted, morons.

THANK YOU.

That's just smart marketing if you ask me because you know a majority of people will purchase it or the expansion pass.
