Forsaken pricing and corporate greed
I started playing games on Commodore 64, still remember Eagle Empire and Manic Miner. I was a student and I didn't have the pot to piss in. Still, somehow I always managed to put the money together and buy the game supoorting the artist. How times have changed. EA games fiasco with Star Wars launch was not enough for Bungie to learn the lesson. Greed has taken over which is so sad to see. I played Destiny from day 1 buying every DLC available but now I am calling it a day. No more. With Bungie's new pricing model I am wondering how many students wil be able to afford these prices. I find it absolutely sickening. It was students like me who put Bungie where it is today, scraping the bottom of the barrel but somehow managing to pay and play. Those days are sadly gone. I have the money but I have my principles also. I am deleting Destiny from my console, all of it. Bye Bungie.

Just shut up and by it like everyone else. It is truly amazing. Or don't and loose out and go away forever. You could always try taking a bottle of antidepressants. Or get a job and be able to afford it. Honestly it is chump change. Oh, sorry, you must be stealing internet from a neighbor and rely on food stamps. Maybe you chould beg to get the expansion. Lol

2 답변You bought all the DLC for destiny 1 TDB - $20 HoW - $20 TTK - $40 RoI - $30 Total - $120 Destiny 2 CoO - $20 Warmind - $20 Forsaken - $40 Annual pass - $20 (includes 3 DLCs) Total $100 It's cheaper than D1 and in year 3 it'll probably be another $20-30 DLC If you have a problem with these prices, you should've had a problem with D1s

작성자: TogaedHickoryIX 9/9/2018 3:04:33 PM"Corporate greed" Believe it or not, game development is a business. Businesses aren't a charity, they exist to make money. They aren't you friend, they don't care about you. They care about sales. They always have, the always will. There was no point in gaming where this was never the case. And this isn't a new pricing model for destiny. Also, "absolutely sickening?" Dude wtf. Students shouldn't be playing video games, they should be studying. Prices on a videogame shouldn't be lowered to accommodate for those who can't afford it. Video games aren't a necessity, they're entertainment, and entertainment is a luxury.

Wow. This might be the most entitled post I’ve seen yet. Your altruism and selfless acts as a consumer aside (especially admiring that bit about buying games just to support the artists), games is a business. They price these things the way they feel they have to to maintain that business, so that the [i]artists, designers, engineers and producers[/i] who put Bungie where it is today can rest easy knowing they’ll have jobs a little while longer.

4 답변I’m sorry but if you was a video game developer would you want to be paid for turning up to work? I know I would...

1 답변What is this new pricing model that you speak of? The cost of Forsaken is no different than the price of The Taken King and the annual pass is no different than what other passes cost. If you’re truly upset about the price model then you need to focus your outage at the publisher and not the developer since it’s the publisher who sets the price point. Of course you know this to be the case if you have truly been paying for games for as long as you state.

Using students and the price of games and dlc as your reason for quitting Destiny is kinda lame. I kinda remember 25 cent candy bars and comics. My dad bitching about paying 50 cents for a gallon of gas and griping about paying 15 grand for a house comparable to the one I have now. In my late teens, early 20's, games were 20 bucks and went up to 40 pretty quickly. Took roughly a 30ish year lay off before coming back to it and games are only 60 dollars now. Kinda cheap compared to everything else. I should also add that games are a whole lot better now than they were back then too, specially on a 4k big screen. Actually get updated once they are out and yes, some get dlc's every 3 to six months, that yes you have to pay for whether its through annual passes or just buying the dlc's separately.

2 답변If you're a paying student you have bigger things to worry about than playing video-games and spending money on said video-games.

Hmmmmm... So paying $100 for an expansion and two dlcs is greed? A game they're constantly working on throughout the year and will work on past that? Idk what mentality people have anymore, but I've bought single player games for $60, been disappointed, then moved on. I didn't cry at every outpost about the game sucking. I bought it, didn't like it, didn't buy "Suck-Ass game 2." If you were to buy 2 regular single player games, that's $120, not to mention any dlc involved for those. And you might get a month if enjoyment out of it, if you're lucky. Idk what to tell you other than bye, I guess.
