Destiny 2 has been recently discounted and even free. First to console and then to PC players. The rest of your argument is just assumptions and hyperbole.

작성자: Nickel7Dime 11/7/2018 3:05:22 AMJust because it is free now does not magically classify it as a free to play game. Games that are free with gold are not suddenly free to play games, and neither is destiny. They also made the base game free for a reason, and that reason had absolutely nothing ot do with things like trying to be nice. They wanted people who left early one to return and end up buying the expansion, they crunched the numbers and realized that at this point they were likely to make next to nothing from base game sales, so might as well give it away for free to make money from the full priced DLC. It is still a full priced game, whether or not it is given away for free later on doesnt change that fact. And how is anything that i said anecdotal or an assumption? I listed all the methods bungie uses to make money, and stated the extremely obvious fact that the vast majority of successful companies use maybe half of said methods.

Ummm have you played any games other than destiny? Go play borderlands, halo, battle field, warframe, overwatch, heck even games like fortnight, none of those games use even half of the methods bungie uses and all are incredibly successful. Games like halo have a full priced main game, but have traded out full priced DLCs in exchange for loot boxes, however they do not lock anything behind pay walls. Games like warframe have some systems that fall into the definition of pay to win, however it is a free to play game, and you can technically obtain the cash currency in game by trading with other players. It really isnt anecdotal when it is pretty common knowledge that anyone who plays video games knows first hand. Trying to brush that fact off as anecdotal is nothing short of an attempt to deny the obvious.

작성자: Nickel7Dime 11/7/2018 5:40:14 AMI didnt brush anything off, i very clearly stated that it was a pay to win system, something some people cant seem to admit for some reason, however even for a pay to win system it at least has a method for you to obtain the cash currency without you yourself needing to be the one to buy it. As for fortnight, yes it has micro transactions, but even it has methods to earn all of its currency in game, meaning you can obtain everything by playing, and that is in a free game, and is a heck of a lot more than what can be said for bungies system. It is becoming rather evident that you are just a blind follower of bungie and cant seem to see that their system goes way beyond basically anyone elses. Sure some games have a form of pay to win, such as warframe, but they at least have methods in place where by you can obtain everything in the game without personally needing to pay, and on top of that their game is actually free to play, unlike destiny. Say what you will about games like fortnight (a game i dont really care for), but they dont employ anywhere near as many cash grab methods and destiny does. I also gave you plenty of other examples, but i guess some people will always be in denial. Since i have given you numerous examples i could easily ask you for any evidence of a company using more pay methods than bungie. Name one other game that has a subscription fee system, full priced base game, full priced DLC, loot boxes, and pay wall micro transactions I gave you 6 very popular games, that have significantly less cash grab systems than destiny and you claim that isnt evidence, oh please. Here want some more, CoD, mass effect, final fantasy, mario, sonic, legend of zelda, minecraft, GTA, do you need more?
