So let me get this straight Originally..... The CE costs 80 Expansion costs 40 Day one players were not granted access to items unless they bought the CE Now..... The CE is still costs 80 Expansion still costs 40 And the content costs 20 My question is: did we just complain our way into helping bungie make more money? Not many people were going to spend money on what they already own but now a lot of people are going to spend an extra 20. Edit: Luke was right, we will throw money at our TV. They baited us into freaking out and switch the pricing strat to make it appear as if we are getting something in return. Edit: for those people saying "it's marketing" Exactly what marketing strategy are you referring to? Review and revise? Because one of the worst things to do in marketing is to alienate existing customers Edit: omg economics blah blah blah not arguing supply and demand I'm not arguing pricing strategy. I'm pointing out that they are scum and mind ___ you into buying or potentially buying content that should be earned on the game. Edit: this.... [quote]My only problem with this is that now, we have shown that this system of creating "special content for special snowflakes", works. It won't be a permanent business model ([i]You can only make so many purchasable emotes and shaders before the others don't feel as special[/i]), but it has shown Bungie that we will pay a lot of money for customizations for our characters. And that could be a long and slippery slope...[/quote] Last edit: deez nuts [spoiler]got em[/spoiler] WOW the fact this thread got over 300 is crazy considering my flawed logic and poor grammar. Lolz as KG once yelled "anything is possible"
