I see alot of people on the forums defending the the $20 emote bundle. They are comparing it to the Dark Below and the House of Wolves and saying that anyone who bought those has no right to criticize etc etc blah blah blah. Those people are extremely ignorant and I am going to explain why [b][u]DLC[/u][/b] Content that was created AFTER launch in order to lengthen the gaming experience. This content can come in the form of new maps, missions, characters, locations, items etc etc. The key thing is however is that DLC was created AFTER the initial release and SEPARATELY from the game itself. It is a standalone product created by the same team at a later date or sometimes by a separate team entirely. [b][u]Cut-Content[/u][/b] This is content that was already completed in the base game or could have been easily added to the base game and was instead removed from the game for the sole purpose of holding it ransom for a profit. This most often comes in the form of cosmetics such as emotes, weapon skins, color schemes etc etc. This is content that could have easily been included in the base game or in a DLC but has been set aside in order to be sold separately. [spoiler]Pre-Order bonuses fall under the category of cut content as well. As it was completed BEFORE the launch of the game but was removed and held hostage in order to make you spend money. [/spoiler] [b][u]There is a clear difference people[/u][/b] - One is an accepted form of lengthening the life of a game through post-production development. - The other is a disgusting money grab that deprives you of content that you otherwise SHOULD have gotten with your initial purchase of the game or its subsequent DLC. And don't give me that [i]"But its Collectors edition content bruh"[/i] "Collectors Edition" content is nothing more than a glorified Pre-Order bonus. It just sounds alot less shady and costs a whole lot more. You people need to wake the -blam!- up and realize this has NOTHING to do with money and EVERYTHING to do with the principle of the situation. The fact that you are being tricked into paying for stuff that you would have gotten in the first place if you people would just STOP BUYING THEIR CUT CONTENT. [u][b]TL;DR[/b] [/u] Stop comparing the cut content of the Emote bundle to the expansions. They are not the same thing. Stop paying for cut content and stop being an uninformed gullible consumer.
