I and many others (including quite a few in the States) want a simple answer, Bungie. Why are you discriminating against non-US players? The world has an exchange rate. $1 does not equal £1 or €1. In my case (UK), you would be charging us almost double for the same amount of content as U.S. players. There is simply no excuse for this. I could buy the Legendary Edition with everything to date in it, with a physical disc and box, and have it delivered to my house, for £43. How do you possibly justify this?
TTK should cost me £25 at most. That's a reasonable DLC price. This is not a full game, it's a DLC. Saying it's all about value is a bunch of bull, because you've valued it in the U.S. at £25 ($40). This is plain greed, and the worst part about it is that you simply do not care that you are driving away huge numbers of fans because of it.
I have played Destiny since Day 1. In truth, I've never had truly unbelievable fun with it (due to a pretty shocking lack of content), but it's something to hop into and burn some time. I would like to get and play TTK, I really would, partly because it looks like a step toward what we should have gotten in the first place. But charging this much for it is just wrong, and to make it worse you don't even talk about it.
People without TTK are going to be locked out and left behind as content is switched over to TTK and new weapons and gear make us obsolete. This is not a subscription based game, yet you treat it like it is, demanding (if the current model continues) about £75 per year to play for a year.
We purchased a product from you that was incomplete. You have been dishonest, arrogant and downright disrespectful to the community that has kept you afloat (you sure as Hell didn't do it on rave reviews). A lot of people would like to continue with this game, myself included, but it simply isn't going to happen currently.
I'm in the fortunate position that I can afford TTK quite easily, and if I knew I could trust you to deliver something actually worth it, I would purchase. But I can't. I don't trust you, Bungie, and you make it harder and harder to almost daily. Even if you could prove this was worth £40, it still wouldn't solve the problem, because our U.S. peers would still be getting the same amount of content for half the price, on top of all these other bonuses you are setting up that are U.S. only.
You are more or less sweeping everything and everyone who partook in this first year under the rug. You don't talk to us beyond cryptic and infrequent paragraphs. You ignore some of our heartfelt requests for game changing improvements. You've have, quite simply, abandoned the people that allow you to keep making games.
All I want, Bungie, is answers and some solid justification. None of this evasive developer speak that doesn't answer the question. A real answer.
If you dropped the price, you'd get a lot more sales. At the minute, it's just bad business, and I simply cannot understand why a company, why you as gamers yourselves, would think this is an acceptable practice. Frankly, you should be ashamed of yourselves for treating your players this way.
If anyone agrees with this, please sign or bump.
Thank you to all who have bumped and continue to show support.

Edit 2: Not a peep on this issue, Bungie. That is just disgusting. You're ripping people off and don't even the stones to justify it. Greed, plain and simple.

2 RisposteModificato da HypobaricPiano: 9/12/2015 8:22:23 PMI live in Canada so this issue doesn't plague me, but it should not be happening at all. It makes absolutely zero sense and it punishes international Destiny players. Somebody reply so I can bump every few hours

1 RispondiMy god... then don't buy it for -blam!-'s sakes. Sit here complaining about a price, day in and day out, whilst never realizing you are in full control over paying that extra bit. Jesus. Don't spend the money, and their greed can't affect you
-
1 RispondiYea I'm from the UK and we are being -blam!-ed on the price. If they can't even make the effort to use a conversion table imagine wot the TTK's gonna be like.

Good this is why trading standards should get involved with dlc were being offered a non refundable product at £40 for about the same content as dark below expansion this is ridiculous. I have every exotic in the game pre house of wolves I love this game I even waited to see what happened after H.O.W because for me didn't offer the content I wanted and I wait and wait to find out to get 1 raid I have to pay double sure you added some guns armour and a sort mission or two but what separates it from prev dlc and why is it double price, I had a good team we raided every Tuesday all day and Wednesday I went online yesterday and got the old team together witch all members of our team had friends also and we came to the joint decision with no argument that we weren't going to pay them money for the amount off content. 9 months ago I'd bet every last one of us would buy it and now we won't even look at it. So I truly believe destinys numbers will not return with ttk I think they had the opportunity to get back, I could go on all day but ultimately I hope destiny drop the price on ttk but is very unlikely as bungie are now not concerned with making games, as the to busy trying to make money

3 RisposteI agree (I'm from the UK). However, I really want TTK. I have pre ordered it knowing it is unfairly priced. Disappointed in myself :(
