For those who haven't heard, or didn't break out the magnifying glass and read all the fine print, don't expect to get on today and use your shiny new Iron Gjallarhorn. You see, you're not really getting the weapon like the thousand of commercials promised. It was all a corporate lie to make you spend your money. You only get the Gjally after you do the quest to get it, the same way as everyone else who didn't preorder it. The "Iron" stuff is only a skin, NOT the full weapon.
Maybe I'm making too big of a deal about this, but I'm feeling very lied to right now. I agree the whole "pay real money for an in-game gun" idea was wrong from the start, but that's what they advertised for months. Now everybody gets on hoping to play with it only to figure out there was some small print somewhere that was hiding the truth? Bungie has lost my trust because of this. If I could return this preorder, I really might, just to tell them where to shove this corporate bullsh!t. This is some cheap move a company like EA would pull, I thought Bungie was above this.
Edit: It's been a while since I've been on the forums, so maybe this was discussed and well known beforehand, but if you're going to be blind and not see the bullsh!t Bungie is trying to pull here, you're being ignorant. Maybe people who still play the game daily knew this, but for us millions of people who quit, this wasn't made common knowledge. This was a marketing scheme, a lie, and I'm not a Bungie homer who's gonna just say it's OK because it was in the fine print.
Guess it just amazes me that so many people are used to this kind of crap from Bungie that they're OK with it...
Edit 2: For those of you saying they discussed this on streams or on other forum posts, that is only addressing a small percentage of their audience. This obviously a marketing scheme aimed at people like me who haven't been paying attention to the game and all the details. Hiding the truth in the fine print should not be ok, and it saddens me to see many of you defend Bungie for this. Yes, this was my error for trusting what they said in the commercials, for trusting Bungie. I thought this was a company that wouldn't resort to this low level of trickery in order to get players back, guess I was wrong. I just don't think that yelling lies in your commercials is justified with small print.
Edit 3: Do all of you work for insurance companies? Hiding the truth in fine print while deceiving your audience with false claims is not something that should be ok. When Comcast or AT&T pull this, everybody hates on them, so why is it ok for Bungie to do this? This was an intentionally deceptive campaign meant to trick people into buying this game. Whether or not you fell for it isn't the point, the point is that Bungie should be above this kind of crap and shouldn't have tried to lie to get players back.

Just play the quest and stop crying. Honestly, I was expecting something a LOT more challenging to net me my Y3 Gally. I did the entire questline in less than 90 minutes, and I've heard of people doing it a lot faster than that. Seriously. Black Spindle was harder to get than this is.

You have absolutely zero reason for tour claim. 1 - It was very legible in Bungies site that you would get it AFTER completing a quest (and no, it wasn't in fine microscopic print). 2 - It was exhaustively mentioned in videos and streams, official and non official; 3 - It was exhaustively mentioned in all websites and blogs covering RoI; 4 - It was mentioned dozens of times here in the forum. Bottom line? In this matter you have no valid point to accuse Bungie for lying, you're just making a fool of yourself with your childish tantrum.

5 通の返信It says in the fine print on the Xbox Live store, that you still have to do the quest to obtain it. It was also touted and reported by youtubers, called out during a live stream and many other places also reported that you didn't just get it handed to you... So.... #Nosympathy

18 通の返信It always said you still had to do the Gjallarhorn quest. Your sense of entitlement is showing.
