It's illegal if they do start one. They can't sell the game then introduce mandatory sub fee. 9/10 1.4b part was a little over kill

I wont be. If I wanted a $60 game that I had to buy subscription for I would just get elder scrolls. Who said there was only going to be 3DLC? The season pass was only for a couple but that doesn't mean there wont be Moore (which I also wont buy)

Stopped reading at "costed 1.4 billion to make"

I stopped reading at "costed". COSTED. COSTED!!

[quote]It's inevitable by this time next year you will be paying $15 a month to play destiny. Reasons this will happen: 1. If destiny will be a 3 year game it won't be able to support itself on game sales alone. 2. There are only going to be 3 dlc's for destiny 3. Destiny costed 1.4 billion to make and as of the recent investors call on Friday the game has only made 1/4 of the money invested in it. Face it you will be paying a subscription by mid September next year. EDIT: I didn't want some battle to start, I wanted a serious discussion about this, because it is a very real possibility.[/quote] 1) That's why it's making DLC's and being supported by Activision. Hell, the game made over 500 million in shipments to retailers. They're on a good start. 2) That's not confirmed (to my knowledge), and isn't relevant. 3) Whoever told you that is a bold faced liar; the game didn't even cost 1/5 of that number according to reports I've seen (which admittedly aren't necessarily reliable, but if Activision would give Bungie 500 million for four games, why the -blam!- would one cost 1.4 billion?) This isn't a possibility. Or at least, an extremely unlikely one.

They aren't going to start charging a fee, the game was advertised as a one time purchase free to play game with no subscription fee, if they all of a sudden started charging for a game that is supposed to be subscription free the community would file a large joint lawsuit against Activision for false advertisement.

1.4bn? Yen maybe. No publisher will ever try to change a non subscription based game into a subscription based games. Especially when thre customers are already having to pay a subscription service to either PSN or XBL in order to get full content.

Lol no it would fail miserably if it went sub. Itll go micro transaction if anything

You can't actually believe that. You mentioned activisions investor conference call. So I'd assume you know the basics of economics. If they have made only 1/4 of what was invested in the game the demand isn't what they expected. So what makes you think there would be consumers even months from now willing to pay a monthly subscription for a game they already paid full price for? They can sure try and institute a monthly fee but the demand obviously wouldn't be there to meet supply which means it would be pointless.

There will only be 3 DLCS huh? Ah, I see you work at bungie then. 1.4 billion to make? I didn't think people were this stupid..
