The problem is that we didn't pay just $15. I paid $60 for the game, $30 for the pass, $60 for live, $30 a month for Internet, and let's just say $10 for every hour I play. Now, the Internet would need to be adjusted if u use it for anything other than gaming, same with the live if u play other games, but I don't. So, as you can see, I order to just play the HoW represents a significant investment. The issue here is misrepresentation. If I sold you a cup of coffee and you got a half a cup of coffee, would that be fair? Oh, I did fail to mention the cost for system. $400 on an Xbox one.

  • Why are you paying your self to play? By that logic you are losing way more money sleeping.

  • It's called opportunity cost. I just used a round number. Most people that work make more so that would be low. The concept is you could be working and making more money, but instead your playing destiny. Simple economics and if you graduated high school you should know what it is.

  • Only applies if you have a job that allows you to work more then you scheduled hours in a week, your time off work isnt always an opertunity, at least not for everyone.

  • I have a job that allows me to work as "much as I want". Which translates to "I have a job that requires that I work a shit ton, I worked all 7 days this week, I'll probably not leave my office until 6-7 every night this week and I'll still be in saturday. I am gonna try to take sunday off and get some work around the house done.

  • You forgot to include the cost of your tv. Since you only use it for destiny. And the costs of the power strip that has you xboner and tv plugged into. Since you only use it for destiny. And your yearly electricity costs. Since you only use electricity for destiny. We'll get that relative cost of HoW up to a couple grand. Oh snap I forgot! You probably bought a car only so you could drive to the store and buy destiny. That's another big cost.

  • Also looking at your achievements you played the hell out of BF4 on Xbox One so that point is moot. Also seeing titanfall was played. And you reached at least level 50 so I would also guess that you must have used that Destiny only Xbox Live Subscription on a game that you unfairly played online. If you were only using that subscription for Destiny you lied.

  • But was your original intention to only play HoW content? You trying to justify all the other purchases on top of gaining value out of one DLC expansion pack. Better questions. Do you enjoy your Xbox one? Did you enjoy vanilla Destiny? Did you enjoy watching Crota die that first time? If you tell me that you only bought the Xbox one and destiny and season pass/dlc to only play a Raid on HoW then I think you should take life a lot less serious. My point if you don't think you'll be happy playing the new DLC don't buy it. Stop supporting a game you don't like.

  • No. Your right. I have played battlefield, hardline, titan fall, ghosts, and destiny. I didn't say the whole cost of my system is going towards destiny. But. Like I said, your too simple to understand. My last gold payment went only only to destiny up until last week when I picked up hardline. So pro rating would put that currently at $37 of my gold payment went toward destiny. If you would like I will calculate out the exact cost of destiny to me. And u still missed my point. House of wolves still costs at minimum $75. So move on -blam!- tard.

    [quote]How much is it going to cost you to play HoW?[/quote] $15 What to know how I figured that out? I paid $60 to play Destiny from September till December Then I paid $15 to play CE on top of still being allowed to play the original game I bought and played the heck out of for three months. So when May 19th rolls around I will pay another $15 but guess what I still get to play the original version and TDB content ontop of that investment. If you want me to nickel and dime it like you did then I would have to calculate my mortgage, taxes, power, Internet service, cell phone bill ( I like hawing the companion app) gas to and from work food to stay alive during the wait for HoW to release, Xboxs etc. you get it, you know, you're doing the same thing.

  • So. Now than in done with work, it's time for a lesson in economics. The cost of something is the sum of all output associated with using that. So your obviously smart enough to figure out the mortgage and such. So, you do need to factor in Internet, electricity, the cost of the game and the cost of the dlc. Now, if at any point you would have said marginal cost, than it would be $15 or what ever it actually is. So, for your future reference, you need to learn what marginal costs are. Thank you, it was enjoyable trolling on you today.

  • I'm right but then I'm a retard? Sound like your the one with the problem. Just the very fact that you need to parse out your dollar value per game is just sad. I understand your upset but just because you are expected something that was status quo last expansion did not mean that every DLC needed to follow suit. You sir counted your chickens way before they hatched.

  • What are you talking about. You were right that I played a game. But you are retarded because you cannot figure out that I was responding to the title of the thread. "Why is everyone complaining about $15". So instead of continuing down this path lets do this. How much have you spent to play HoW?

[quote]But was your original intention to ONLY play HoW content[/quote] What I asked you there in retard speak was did you only buy the Xbox one, the copy of Destiny and both expansions to play an unknown expansion that only Bungie/Activision knew about? So if you only intended to play HoW (which you admitted you didn't as you admit to playing other games.) then you would have a point. If you so upset that you need to parse out your value down to the dollar paid then why not break it down even further. You are trying to justify your entertainment value to us by saying you were cheated out of hundreds of dollars just solely due to the HoW expansion lacking a 6 player Raid.
