This post is silly they are literally asking for 20ish$ in the form of additional transmog tokens and you want to just give them 20 bucks because idk?

Just give cozmo and dmg huge joints with the best indica at this point. They deserve the best ganja rn for putting up with their bosses and shot callers- ffs - forcing em to write what came out Thursday. I give em huge props. But to the leadership team who decided this version of transmog was a good idea? No- they don't deserve anything rn. The devs and community managers do- not the shot callers.

In the last couple of days I've been reading over a few of these posts and in every single one of them, there are these players that are saying things like... (Bungie needs the money.) News flash! all companies need to make money, Bungie isn't special... They have been trying to come up with creative ways to word it in hopes you guys would feel sorry for Bungie. Some of them even have gone to the extent of taking it way too seriously that without Bungie flooding this game with cosmetics to sell through Eververse this game wouldn't survive, [b](all the while ignoring all the other sources of income coming in that helps this company big time that they can afford to spend the resources on their other projects when the resources should be going to this game that we pay for.)[/b] So I'm reading over these replies of how they believe Bungie "needs to go way overboard selling cosmetics" 🤦‍♂️ It's the reason why they removed Factions, knowing they could have easily just brought them back as they were in D1, [b](Problem literally solved)[/b] but as usual, Bungie gave some BS story to cover up that they wanted to make money off them but they couldn't figure out how to without really pissing off their entire community so they removed them. They knew with the new light system they couldn't make a profit off of them so they created this cheap lazy content called Guardian Games to replace factions so they could. News flash, that is pure BS, the disrespect this company shows the player base to make money is unbelievable. Not anyone of you that tries to make players feel sorry for a company that is taking advantage of their player base will ever make me feel sorry for them. Bungie has literally been abusing this since Day 1, yet you players that do this also want to leave out that they had Activision, one of the biggest banks backing them up while that money was pouring in, and even back then you tried to pull this same BS that "Bungie needs the money". When any company abuses things like this that literally is making millions off of it and refuses to put the effort into the game we are paying for? That is being selfish and it's disrespectful to the player base, better known on this forum right now that it the truth, Bungie is being [b](Greedy.)[/b]

Naw bruh, bungie just needs to make the devs start an OnlyFans. I’m genuinely sure someone would pay 30k to see dmg in thigh-highs.

The issue is the juxtaposition of wanting to pay only once for a game while also playing a "live service game". You can't do both. Maintaining a live game is an everyday job that needs everyday money. Back when companies did pay-once games, they released the game, maybe the occasional patch, and then moved on to work on the next project. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time didn't get 5 years of DLC and seasonal activities. You paid for the base game and that's it. As far as I can tell, the issue stems from two other issues. 1. People think that paying $60 5 years ago is fair for a game that gets active, consistent development years later. It is not, no matter what their reasoning is. When you play a live game, it's a service and not a singular product. You have to pay for service. 2. Bungo is attempting to treat this game as both a premium game and a live service game. This sends mixed messages to the community and has caused some dumb decisions. Like, if you want new content every season, ya gotta pay for it. You don't call up your ISP like "I bought the modem, now give me free Internet". It doesn't work like that. However, Bungo needs to fully transition this to a live service game (like an MMORPG) and quit pretending like there's any glimpse of a "premium game" left here. Letting people wander this forums thinking their $60 investment 5 years ago sustains the company to this day is wrong. If Bungo admitted that this is basically WoW with guns, then they could charge for stuff that makes sense and avoid the vitriol. Hell, they might even be able to get away with a subscription service that grants us a lot of this crap without paying a second time. Who knows? The sky is the limit when it comes to honesty. However, Bungo isn't honest with their players and because of that, the players aren't actually being honest with themselves.

[b]Just Boycott It [/b] In fact, [b]boycott everything[/b] that costs Silver Screw spending Silver in D2 so they can use the considerable profits to develop Matter (a game that I wouldn’t purchase, even it professes to cure all the ills in the world) (And the same goes for [b]other[/b] studios that charge for a Triple-A purchase, then flood with micro transactions - loot that should [b]always[/b] be earnable in the game itself) The need for greed is killing gaming! By all means, use Brightdust (and the relevant currency in other games) earned in game to purchase ornaments/cosmetics But the constant milking of the Golden Cow has to stop....before the poor thing dies! Think of Animal Welfare, Bungie!

[quote]No interest. No contracts. Might even have a few $5's lying around somewhere...[/quote] Will this go to a dedicated server?

can someone catch me up to speed, im pretty new and i have no idea what the hell is going on and why everyone is mad.

I will even let them crash on my couch for a few days

It's time to bail. Y'all did this. I never wanted microtransactions. I wanted a videogame, not a cashshop. I'll pay for a game, but not microtransactions. You want this system? Then that's what they'll give you. Game has changed. They've made it into a mobile free to try version with microtransactions not associated with the game. I'm just here to play a game. This is not it. If you like it, stay and let them milk you. If you don't, it's time to bail. This game won't change, it's a Milking Cow. I also want transmog and shaders, but not like this. Let's bail. It's time to go.

I could literally save bungie

All I got for em is a log I can float

Bungie should goto a $5.00 a month service charge, lose Eververse and have all loot earnable by playing.

How many sets of armor are people really thinking of doing anyway? I can think of only a few that I want...I probably won't even use all of my allotment next season
