Don't give a F. I really like the DLC and especially the new Raid. 20$ for me is pocket change, considering all the hours i'm going to play to lvl up Iris on my 3 characters and doing the Raid.

Just my $.02... 1) Like others have said, WoW has a monthly subscription. 2) Sure, Xbox Live has a yearly fee, but I consider that a separate expense because that gives you access to any game on the system, not just Destiny. 3) $60 for Destiny has kept me occupied for about 200 hours so far, the expansion for $20 will only add to that. Destiny has some obvious flaws we all know about (no game is perfect), but I'm still enjoying it and that's a pretty good value, IMO. 4) I just spent $10 on lunch, which I finished in about 15 minutes.

The place where they messed up is titling it an "Expansion." Which it is not. It's just another public event coupled together with a DLC pack. It's like The Queens Emissary on steroids, that's it. Except she sold weapons and gear. Anyway, This difference in title matters because the game used an MMO term which raised expectations. The Omnigul Strike is awesome. So is some of the new gear, no doubt. Not downing that. But, Season Pass or DLC Whatever says there will be some new DLC content every few months. Cool. Usually around $10-15, Borderlands / Mass effect style. No prob, understood. But when you say Expansion, people think WoW, Realm Reborn, Dragons Dogma Dark Arisen / Bitter Black Isle. Usually an EXPANSION would have all of the things The Dark Below has, new gear, new cap, new missions and new open areas in old locations, a couple strikes and raids, etc. PLUS it would add a new class and/or new sub-classes, and say 2 new planets. The other thing they kind of over reached on was how much more of a storytelling experience this would be compared to the main game. In truth, after about 2 hours you can finish all the content except the raid and you have not really learned much more than what you already know from The Trailers.... She went down, she lost her team, she hid and infiltrated, now shes back and shes pissed and wants revenge. You learn nothing about the main story or the hive. It's more of a new side quest line. It's more like infamous first light than an Expansion that upgrades the game and the game world. I think that's where alot of players frustrations are rooted. Understandably. It's fun content. But, will it last till March? Ehhhh... Which sucks because just like when we had that barrage of games in october and nov, my active list for friends on destiny got slim. February is going to kickstart off the same rush of games.

I hear what you're saying and think you have valid points about mmo expansions and their worth, but let's look at this from a shooter perspective. For a battlefield expansion I pay 15 bucks. With that I get 4 new maps, a handful of guns and a new game mode. For 5 bucks more in destiny I get 3 new crucible maps, a new game mode in crucible, a handful of guns. In addition I get a few new missions, 1-2 new strikes depending on console version, and a new raid. So if I look at this coming from a shooter side, I get what I would normally get with a shooter expansion and even more on top of that. It's really a matter of the perspective you have. If you only care about pve, or if you only care about pvp this expansion may not be worth your money, but if you enjoy both, there is definitely 20 dollars worth of content.

WoW was $15 a month and worth it. Destiny doesn't have a sub and is.... lacking, to say the least. If that's what it'll take to drop an overwhelming amount of content then please, here's my money, blow my mind with your $500mil game and a subscription from us.
