With the DLC rotation, they have shown that they will gut features of the original product, at will. This really drove home the concept that I can’t count on them, and that I probably should not devote much time or attention to an unreliable product.

Also, it’s a bicycle.

The amusing thing is I doubt they will change this so when the next dlc comes out in two months it will increase the amount of daily/weekly challenges that will require the dlc making those like me who refuse to give a junk company like this more money have a butchered game. I can see there being full weeks where none of the daily story and weekly stuff will be available and they will probably lessen the strike playlist rewards for us vanilla folk even more. Throw in the rumored mega expansion in September and Bungie is probably looking to make the game obsolete for anyone who dares to just want to play the vanilla version. I don’t know of any other game in history that has worked like that.

It is downright pathetic that what many gamers will do is just give in and buy DLC when something like this is done instead of taking a stand and telling the company they can shove it. These companies need gamers not the other way around and just giving in because you have no principle means other companies will catch on and start doing it and eventually the entire industry will be ruined. It’s bad enough looking at all the micro transactions and exclusive content and how piss poor most games are released as and how they need 4 trillion patches just to be functional.

Destiny is I think indeed just an experiment to see how addicted people are and to see what a company can get away with when they have people addicted. Judging by what I have seen online with all the Destiny diehards it seems they can get away with a lot of crotch kicking and it is almost embarrassing being a gamer these days with how so many defend companies for this type of crap.

I enjoy playing Destiny but not enough to put up with this. Buying the dlc from a financial aspect is not an issue as 20 bucks is peanuts to me. It’s just the sheer principle of the matter and I will have no problems not playing this game in the future if Bungie gets even more greedy and pushy with this strategy. There are better and just as enjoyable or more enjoyable games out there that I will spend my time with.

Bungie is testing the waters with overpriced dlc and the more people who buy it, the more likely that this will become the norm for other games.

If you liked the game, I’d recommend you think real hard before buying any dlc or season passes for it. You could buy a whole new game for the price they’re asking.

No thanks. I know some actual, decent MMOs that offers way more content for less than half the price.

I can’t wait for $20 dlc “expansions” to become the norm(!)
