100-120 bucks for a years worth of entertainment. Sold. I spent that going to see the new ghostbusters movie with the family this past weekend and that two hrs wasn’t that great. Lol.

I can understand why people are upset about the monetization in this game but this is nothing new. The price of PS5 and Xbox Series X games are $70. Not to mention many of those games include season passes of their own and add little to previous installments. People are grouping content over the course of THREE YEARS in Destiny 2 and are complaining. Of course it’s going to be expensive because you are buying everything there is to offer. On the other hand, newer players have to pay the brunt of the cost in order to even stay relevant in the game. This goes for the majority of mmos out there. Just like any major expansion it costs $40. This has always been the case except ROI which had less than the other expansions. When I see people complaining about the anniversary pack I never can understand why. Games like fortnite and apex sell skins for $20-40 which is absurd yet no one complains. Since it’s only cosmetic it’s okay. But when Bungie releases an OPTIONAL bundle that includes many more skins, a dungeon, FREE event, weapon skins etc. everyone gets up in arms. Of course I would like this game to be cheaper and I’m not arguing for it to be a money sink. But the pricing comparative to other games is nothing new.

The whole idea of “greed” from a for profit business like Bungie is completely absurd. It’s not like Bungie has sweat shops and child labor like some other giant corporations, so I don’t get this argument at all. If you want to protest greed then do so against the companies that contract work out to countries that don’t mind using what amounts to slave labor and child labor. That’s true greed

I don’t personally think the $100 I spent for the preorder for another year of content is too much. I also prefer to make up my own mind instead of listening to the Tubers. Give it a try.

He needs to take his -blam!- back to division 2 and stop bandwagon destiny

[quote]Thoughts?[/quote] I wonder how much money that guy makes for his "content".

He makes some good points. However, he IS a youtuber. Therefore, he is wrong, dumb and stinky.

Why are people surprised when a business is greedy? This should be what you expect by default. Money is a businesses life blood, without it they stop existing. We prioritize our survival above pretty much every thing, Bungie is going to do the same. Bungie does not have a conscious, Bungie does not care what you want or feel, Bungie does not care about right or wrong (legal and illegal, maybe), Bungie does not care if you are having fun, Bungie will not "do the right thing", Bungie is not a -blam!- person that you can reason with so stop treating them like one.

I watched the video when it was first published. I don’t agree with most of his statements because 1) eververse is fine because it’s just cosmetics. Would I like this stuff to be earn able in game yes. 2) monetization isn’t really a problem because every company does it and Bungie is growing so they need to pay their employees. 3) with the 30th anniversary, I have no problem with the price tag Because, the people who made it probably want to get payed

Could be worse…I mean look at halo right now.

If you bought every cod at release you’d pay more i think?

[quote]Thoughts?[/quote] My thought is you have a content creator who is no longer relevant (He stopped covering The Division, and he hasn't caught on at all trying to cover Destiny)...who is trying to gain attention through negativity. 1. All games are more expensive this generation. The base price of AAA games on PS5 and XBSX have gone up to $70 2. The nature of the game has changed since Activision was the publisher. Activision wanted Destiny to be a serialized, seasonalized shooter. But one where you had to buy every scrap of content to keep playing the game. Whereas, when you compare Destiny to most MMO-type or MMO-lite games....It is dramatically cheaper than most games of its type to play... ...and most games that try to be less expensive are STARVING for content. Marvel's Avengers. Anthem (dead). The Division 2 hasn't seen an expansion in almost 2 years. The game is literally replaying verbatim content from last year, and its a ghost town. 3. Long story short? You have a segment of the player base that lost the struggle for control over the game...and they're bitter. They are like the jilted lover who can't let go, and won't move on. So they hang around the game and they throw rocks at it. The game has changed in ways the don't like, and they're simply mad....and because they're mad, they're arguing that its bad.

Hot take: I think bungie was better off with activision (short term) than without. Long term bungie would be better off without, but idk what a continued contract would entail.

Another one believes everything a streamer spews out. They will say anything to get viewers with tin foil hat ideas and you all fall for it. I trust what some of them spew about as much as I would have trusted Fred West.

Greed 😂 Did you pull this out from the communist manifesto? How many here wouldn't try to maximize profits if they owned a business I wonder? Bungie is selling a product at a price they deem to be competitive. If you don't agree with said price, you should not buy the product. If the product doesn't sell, they will reevaluate the offerings/price and adjust accordingly.

Destiny under activison for 2 years was D2 vanilla $60 CoO-$20 Warmind-$20 Forsaken-$40 Annual pass-$35 Total: $175 Without Activison for 3 years is Shadowkeep-$35 3 seasons-30 And Beyond light-$40 4 seasons-$40 And Witch queen-$40 4 seasons-$40 Anniversary pack-$25 2 dungeons-$20 Total:$270

The pricing is fine. The only reason it seems like more than usuals is because we are getting more content than usual. Prices are fine and have been the same since D1. Not watching the video though. The LS clickbait is aggravating. He literally didn’t even do anything. Also, Mereum. By the looks of the comments you just seem to be a die hard fan of MarcoStyle. No hate, but you keep trying to shut down discussions by saying “it’s not relevant”, and then get sort off passive-aggressive when someone bad-mouths him. This seems less like an opinion post and more of a post just to spread whatever clickbait doctrine is in said linked video.

[quote] Destiny is more expensive to play now than when they were still with Activision" I believe that speaks volumes. [/quote] that quote doesn't mean anything. A mansion is more expensive than a shoebox. This is obvious because we know what we're comparing. But saying something is more expensive to play (which is objectively untrue) doesn't mean anything without further context and explanation
