If only the brave truthtellers who unmask Bungie's evil machinations would turn their piercing gaze to things that actually matter... Poverty, discrimination, government corruption, war, take your pick. Then they wouldn't clutter up this board.

Bump

Shut up. Bungie loves me and I can change them.

Bump bump bump!

Vice Versa

bump

Hence why I stopped playing and more importantly paying. I realized a while back that Destiny was here to solely take a much of my money as possible. Thanks but no thanks..

Truth is the most attractive thing about destiny is the 6 man multiplayer socialization. We gamers keep playing bungie will keep -blam!-ing them. Our only hope is to find a community leader that gives a -blam!-

Anything that is under Activision will not be finished upon release and will include DLC that should have been in the game up front and will have microtransactions. It is the future of all of their games. They are not making anywhere near the same amount of $ on actual games (because quality is declining), so they are making money on DLC and microtransactions. Even if the developer says there won't be these types of transactions, they are overruled. Look at Black Ops 3. Treyarc confirmed that Supply Drops wouldn't be in BO3, but SUPRISE!!!, a leaked image from the game was released today that showed Supply Drops. Activision wouldn't have it any other way.

I'm never going to buy silver, but I'll for sure get the new expansions coming next year

Well said. Maybe not the domestic abuse bit because its a bit dark but I get the analogy your going for.

I love the lore and that's about it. And the lore's not even in the game, so the only reason I play is to get Grimoire. It really sickens me to see how this game has turned.

So it wasn't just me who noticed that it was outrageous how much we pay for DLC when we've already spent so much money for it. I guess the only real reason I'm still playing is because I've got some friends who play it, and they often ask me to help them out. While I'm not a very good player I'm happy to help when some Hive are giving you a hard time. Good post sir. But I should point out you shouldn't dis the whole community. There are still many players who play because they enjoy the game, not because the care about Bungie or Activision.

[quote]Before I get started for those of you who are not aware I regret to inform you that Gamespot released an article today covering the future of DLC content in Destiny. This is a direct quote from the article. [quote]Destiny's microtransactions and paid expansions are both selling well, Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg said on an earnings call today, November 3. [i][u]As such, Destiny players can expect to see more of both in the future[/u][/i].[/quote] So the microtransactions....the microtransactions that were supposedly implemented to fund future content is going to stay....but we will all still have to fork out money for DLC. Yet there is very little outrage over this prime example of consumer abuse. So that brings me back to my analogy. [b]The Kotaku article sheds light on the fact that Bungie and Activision cut up Vanilla Destiny to be sold separately. [/b] The forums barely bat an eye. The article shows that not only was the game cut up, but that it was cut up for the sole purpose of being sold separately at a premium just so they could squeeze more money out of us. Any normal community would have been up in arms over such a revelation. The torches and pitchforks would be lit and the forums would have burned to the ground. But no. Not this community. You all just shrugged and kept moving forward. Oh well. Its not [i][b]Bungie's[/b][/i] fault. Its all Activision. Bungie loves us and wants to be good to us they just can't. So I am just gonna keep playing and hope it gets better. I know Bungie can change. [i]I kry errytim. [/i] [b]Microtransactions are introduced into a game that most of us have paid over $120 for[/b] Once again mild outrage from a handful of players, but overall this community just rolls over and takes it in the ass with pleasure. Thank you Bungie senpai for this great gift. They cut content and set it aside to be sold separately at a premium [i][b]YET AGAIN[/b][/i] and no one seems to really care. Some even naively believe that the microtransactions would lead to free DLC in the future. The rest of you all just shrug and then say well its not [b][i]Bungie's[/i][/b] fault. Its cl;early just Activision. Bungie wants to love us and be good to us, but they just can't. So I am gonna keep playing and hope it gets better. I know Bungie can change. [i]I kry errytim[/i] Every misstep and every abuse is almost immediately forgiven and shoved aside in favor of blind hope and naive support. Each and every time they abuse or take advantage of the community you all just shrug and make excuses for them. You say its not their fault or that its just how the game business works. Or that they HAVE to make money somehow right? [b][u]NO OTHER GAME WORKS LIKE DESTINY DOES AND NO OTHER GAME HAS TROUBLE MAKING MONEY. PLENTY OF GAMES MAKE PLENTY OF MONEY AND STILL DON'T TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THEIR PLAYERBASE.[/u] [/b] [u]Witcher 3 for example released over a dozen FREE DLC packs and their entire season pass was $25. The latest DLC called "Hearts of Stone" got a better review score than ANY of the Destiny content that has been released and yet it only costs $10. Bethesda is another prime example. They have released games like Fallout 3 and Skyrim all to critical and [i]FINANCIAL[/i] success. They released quality DLC for a fair price and they made a FORTUNE. Bioware released Mass Effect 3 with quality DLC for a fair price and even threw in FREE multiplayer DLC packs every month or so. Yet it was the most financially successful game in the franchise. [/u] You people need to wake the -blam!- up and look around you. Look at all the games that have been released since Destiny launched and look at how many have used the kind of underhanded tactics that has been used with Destiny. Stop using "Business" as an excuse as if it alleviates ALL abuses. Stop using your hours played as an excuse as if you are in too deep to be treated with respect. Stop shrugging your -blam!-ing shoulders as if there is nothing you can do. Stop acting like there is nothing wrong. Stop acting like Bungie owns your -blam!-ing dignity and self respect just because you happen to like the game. And for the love of god stop forgiving them every single time they decide to abuse your trust as a consumer. You are just like a battered wife that loves her husband too much to realize that he is a steaming pile of abusive shit and that you can do BETTER for yourself and that you DESERVE to be treated better. For -blam!- sake.[/quote] And that my friends, is called Stockholm Syndrome. :)

I've spent more on just one night out than I have on this game so as far as I'm concerned it's been money well spent.

I cut my ties with bungie/Activision and their products a long time ago. I only play cause this was all purchased for me without my knowledge. Looks like I was pretty accurate in my suspicions from over a year ago. It's time to move on guys, at this point every dollar spent is consent for more "abuse" as the OP puts it.

As soon as destiny becomes pay2win ill stop playing but its not yet, i bought emotes yeah but cost like 20€ that is what i pay for eating out 2 times and i eat out alot so 20€ is not a problem for me maybe for people who cant afford it but i can, i play destiny because i enjoy it every day, if i wouldnt i'd stop playing, as long as i feel im getting my moneys worth i'll buy dlc because i dont want To stop destiny its where my best friends are and we have had hundreds of great hours together and we will continue

[b][/b]

They have time to reply to some bullshit post about "oh I love this game" but don't have time to reply to this. They're scared of us, just like they were when the Update we'll never get was around as well as the Luke Smith scandal

Thats why this is the last dlc I'll buy :(
