Hello Guardians, as the TTK is out next month I went to purchase the download only to find out this; The cost for TTK is £40 (UK price). This is simply not fair in any way! The US cost for exactly the same product is $40. So converting Dollars into Pounds I discover that us Brits should really be paying £25.36, that's £14.64 cheaper. The download is digital from an American based company so I can not see where this extra cost comes from, why are the British paying so much more? In addition a fellow Swedish guardian said they are paying 400 Swedish Krona for the TTK, which converts to £30.43, again a difference of £9.47. I have had so much fun on Destiny but this economic injustice is plain for all to see. A lot of us must also assume that if the Brits are getting short changed then there are other countries that are getting the same shoddy treatment. As a community we have to not let Activision think that they can get away with this, bump if your with me.
Thanks to Vamporius for showing me that there's a petition at Change.org to get this sorted out. For all you that agree please go and sign

Thanks to all that have supported the cause so far, I have tried to reply to as many posts as possible but you guy's are just too good, so apologies if I missed you. Since becoming a Guardian I have routinely seen how Bungie have tried to improve the game and community in all aspects, this injustice is perhaps just another little part of a much larger puzzle; hence the post.
[b]In conclusion, next time you are in an event with a Brit just understand that we have had to pay significantly more for exactly the same pleasure. Please be considerate by 1) letting us kill you in the new crucible, 2) by allowing us to monopolize any relic/sword or other gizmo that may become available, 3) most of all, ensuring that we always get the most kills and best KDR in any event that we do. These points will help boost our ego's and thus soften the pain caused to our wallets! [/b]

3 답변Some of most fun I have playing this game is while playing crucible with some brits. They're, for the most part, very helpful and actually listen and communicate well. And the accent is awesome. Why they have to pay more for the same content beats me. Pretty sad really

1 답변Agreed. It's a disgrace and blatant profiteering, Bungievision won't give any explanation though as anything other than 'we can get away with it' would be a lie and quickly debunked. It should be £ 30 and even that may be a stretch depending on content. Crazy that you can buy Halo 5 or Fallout 4 for cheaper than TTK.

2 답변I was called racist by some British folks during the crotas end because I said they were stupid. But, I'll support your cause.

I agree. It's completely unfair. I think it would be best if we all boycott bungie and not pay for anymore dlc's. I'm not buying ttk. I've spent enough on this game and all it ends up being is frustrating dissapointment. Frustration over server lag... lag switchers... nerfs... why pay for this abuse?

2 답변Due to this act of incompetence, ignorance or just plain greed by Activision/Bungie, I have quit this game and will no longer buy TTK for myself and my son and will no longer buy any future Activision products as I will not bend over and get shafted by these corporate scumbags. If everyone with principles stick together and boycott TTK, Activision will realise that they have misjudged us and will be more wary of trying to rob us UK/EU/AUS games in the future.

5 답변Don't be shocked by any hate you get, these forums are full of bungie nut huggers. Bungie could sell them a tiny amount of content, negate all the weapons and armor they've spent a year collecting, replace those with crap new weapons and armor, make them grind their old exotics again (the few that will be worth a damn in the new stuff) even though they acknowledged doing so was a mistake in the first expansion, charge them 3x what the content is worth and these people would still love bungie. Oh wait, that's not a hypothetical, that's exactly what's happening. Good luck getting the price reduced to where it's equal. It won't happen though. I hope you decide not to buy it until the price comes down in several months instead of giving them what they want.

3 답변Only way to protest is by not buying it. I will not be buying the taken king because it is a rip off. I don't even need to see what content it has because it's already confirmed to be less that the vanilla game, which has minimal content at best. This follows on from the current dlc being absolutely pish. A raid u can solo and a horde mode for 20 quid. I got properly taken by bungie on that one. All in all, I'm not willing to pay another 40 quid for something that's got less content that's the original 40 quid game. This is literally a 100 quid beta test. Proved by the fact they change the way the game works every -blam!-ing dlc. They have no idea what they r doing.

7 답변작성자: Coyote_x_Starrk 8/26/2015 6:18:48 AM[b]I have said it before and I will say it again. The price difference is the biggest travesty to come out in the last year. The fact that people on here are more interested in exotics than this subject right here is pure bullshit. You guys are being -blam!-ed in the middle of the highway and no one is bothering to stop and help.[/b]
