What if they said, "ok. We will sell you those 9 items for $80. The full price of the CE bundle, but it doesn't include the base game or any expansions. Now you have an option to buy the items without repurchasing the content you already own."
Would that have made people happy? Price doesn't matter, right? They just want the option? Of course not. OF COURSE PRICE MATTERS.

It would not have made ppl happy. Yet it still wouldve been giving the ppl what they asked for and that being ways for veterans players to aquire these items. Ppl will never be happy unless everything is handed to them and even after that they will ask for more
-
Fair treatment and service is what they want. The $80 CE is not fair to veterans. And a $20 price tag for those 9 items is exorbitant. Nobody likes to be gauged, even if it's for something they want.
-
Perhaps ppl need to learn how to ask more carefully for what they want and after not be so sore about getting it
-
So the community needed to specify that they preferred fair pricing?
-
By the consumers stance fair pricing is a rip off to us business owners. Im sorry to tell you how the real world works but if i can make a buck off you i will. Making money is a business lossing money if failure. To me 20 bucks is fair for about everything. You're talking what 25 min of work for 20 bucks

Well I've been a small business owner and I currently work making sales so I'm well aware of how it works. But here is nothing you are going to say that can justify $20 for those 9 items. I understand Bungie is out to make money. I'm out to spend money on Bungie's products like I've been doing for years. Im not asking for a handout, but Bungie showed their hand when they charged $20 for the expansions. There is no way to justify it. And it's not a matter of supply and demand since the supply is essentially infinite. When the demand is high, supply is infinite, and the business owner's expense at creating the product is low (in comparison to the full expansions at the same price), yet the consumer cost is still high, that's called taking advantage.

"Greed is good" not my quote but 100 percent correct. Its what drive the next big breakthrough

How is Bungie's greed going to fuel the next big thing?

How many ppl are upset over this of those gow many are inspiring graphic designers of those how many will make a game that could potentially blow destiny out of the water. Think big picture. What could happen not tomorrow or next week but next year or 5 years from now
-
I'm not concerned about that. I want to play Destiny. I'm going to get that game in 5 years regardless. But if it doesn't help me with Destiny right now, then it's not worth a damn to me. This is video games, not the industrial revolution.

Its all connected. Product placinf within video games deals like what mt dew and red bull make with video game companies. More going on in there than just killing aliens
