So Luke Smith (Lead designer) basically said that Bungie know's it's screwing over the fans/current players and that they're perfectly fine with doing so. (Original article: [url]http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-06-22-destiny-the-taken-king-director-defends-40-expansion-price-tag[/url]
Does that change your mind about buying TTK? Comment below.
[b]38% of players are pre-ordering digital content (admittedly, I don't know why you'd pre-order unlimited digital content)[/b]
[b]31% of players are waiting for reviews so they don't get screwed over again.[/b]
[b]31% of players are done with Destiny.[/b]
I felt compelled to point out that games like Skyrim give you easily ten times the content for a $30 expansion, $10 less than the base TTK price.
[i][b]DeeJ: Simple question for you; come September 15th 2015 are you reducing Destiny's DLC on XBL/PSN to the $5-$10 range and the base Destiny game down to $10? If not you are forcing some day one players to buy TDB and/or HoW for $20-$35/$40 and then charging them $40 additionally for TTK. This is my major issue. It's price gouging. I'd appreciate it if you or someone at Bungie would settle this issue.
Either set TTK to $20 or reduce the price of the pre-existing DLC. [/b][/i]
Additional info in! Someone has unearthed E3 video footage from 2013 when Destiny was first revealed. ([url]https://youtu.be/uHhR3kkf1uQ[/url]) Watch it yet? If not you really should since it shows the 3 "[b]new[/b]" emotes (clap was confirmed in Luke Smith interview). [b]E3 2013[/b] people! This was even more content ripped out of vanilla Destiny to be sold off as DLC but this time it's behind a $40 premium edition paywall.

[u][b]Additional info per weekly update:[/b][/u] Bungie is selling the digital goods from the collector's edition for $20 USD. That's the same price increase for the disc version of vanilla to Collector's Edition but doesn't come with the physical items (worth much more than some token emotes, shaders, and class items) that new players get for the same price increase. Thoughts?
