All you butt hurt people on destiny forums are starting to get annoying. You guys are all butt hurt because the over all price of destiny, well look at the games you probably most likely came from (any CoD, WoW, Halo, Starcraft, in general any FPS, and for squeakers Minecraft and mobile games).
Let us start with the big one Call of Duty. A lot of gamers say CoD isn't being milked it's just a bunch of generous game developers hard at work.-blam- please! A dlc every 2-4 months, 'new' gun camos, and lately custom armor and guns/Supply drops. Yes season pass is a 'discount' but it only saves $10 that you are going to use on camos or supply drops. And don't get me started yearly releases and bland campaign. Total ~$120-300 a year just on a game franchise.
For you butt hurt MMORPG/MOBA admit it you pay to much on a 7-22 year old game they have been milking for years, I am looking at you Blizzard. This genre has been probably milked before any other. Usually only releasing two medium sized expansion a year at the price of a 'AAA' game. Only giving you an equivalent of 1 game a year getting up to $120 a year if you are at end game every time before the next dlc and willing to buy the next one.thats not even including the subscription and the 'micro'-transactions. Starting out late ~$500-1200 , per year ~$150-400 per year.
Halo is a interesting one when the oh so holy Bungie was in control of halo it used to be a easy buy and play game.Up to Halo 3 where they started to add multiple editions and constant releasing of low price dlc being a great way to conceal high overall prices. Dlc being released 1-3 months continuing on into reach eventually ending with 343's reign giving out dlc free on the first day of release and near the end giving you all the money bought customization in a $15 dlc which could have spent $20-30. Overall combined saving ~$60-80. But it seams prices are rising again starting in Halo 5. Early Bungie reign ~$60-80 every 4-6 years!! Late Bungie reign ~$60-120 every 2 years. 343 reign ~$60-75 every 3 years.
Minecraft ,other FPS, and most mobile games fit in to the same category. Both currently being bombarded with 'micro'-transactions at least for all you Console peasants. These are the games you want to keep away but you can't and it turns out to be to addictive. Not going into much detail. Average patient player~$3-60 a year. Guilt tripped players ~$20-120 a year.
And destiny coming out with two smallish medium expansions and a large one every year,according to the Bungie Activi$ion agreement paper thingy at least, gives us about a equivalent of two and two thirds games a year possibly even 3 in the future. While others send an equivalent of one and a half game in a year. And if that Late 2014/2015 dlc leaks are accurate, which so far they are, we will be seeing two more thirds of a game on this installment maybe even one more whole.
Destiny so far ~$60-130 a year. According to late 2014/ early 2015 leak ~$90-130 a year.
So stop dissing on Bungie for its' 'overpriced' TTK and look at all your other favorite games. And how else are they spouse to pay off their $500,000+ to Activi$on.
If you are wondering about the console peasant 'bull-blam-'
[spoiler] You might be wondering why this PC fgt is on the destiny forums. This is because I am one of those rare gammer that doesn't care about this gaming console war. This because I only care that I want to play a game and I...D...G...A...-blam- ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE I JUST WANNA HAVE FUN.[/spoiler]
Sorry for the misspelling and horrible grammar I am using my phone and this took at least 2 hours of research and 1 hour to type this on my phone. This and I started at 9:00 pm after coming home a 10:00 flight, waking up at 6 am Frankfurt time to pack a lot and not sleeping on the plane and most importantly haven't had caffeine the whole week. If you are wondering what time zone I am in I am in the Ak time zone.
Oh and btw

Did you.. Use logic? On the bungie forums? What god sent you to us!
-
Haha nice!
-
You sir. You I like!

Ugh not sure what starcraft has to do with anything. Their expansions are about $40. I've never played WOW but I am pretty sure it's $40-60 per exp. As for the others I get where you are going.
-
You keep mentioning butt hurt. Has someone been doing something naughty to you. P.S You can also get creams to help ease you pain.
-
And how do you know this? You experienced butt pain and know the remedies.
-
Yeah, have got haemorrhoids lol
-
-
TL;DR From what I gather it was some sort of fanboy whining...
-
Oh trust me I would rather play a lot of other games then destiny especially for the next month.
-
Then blam no one gives a blam
-
Sorry, after reading the phrase "butt hurt" I switched off. You probably made some good points too...
-
Yeah sorry for all the retarded words I am tired going to edit tomorrow.

Your argument/statement would have more credit if you didn't include childish words like "butt hurt". People have the right to complain about high prices and this latest DLC is overpriced. If you or anyone thinks it's ok to pay £40 or $40 for a DLC then I'm afraid we are fvcked my friend and we will be fvcked by gaming companies for many years to come. Bungie admitted in a recent interview that their previous DLCs, priced at £20 or $20, were lacking content. So why is it ok to double the price when we overpaid on the previous? Also, don't just think about yourself. Think about the bigger picture... How many people do you think will buy the DLC? 2 million? 10 million? 15 million? Take the smaller number and multiply it by £40 or $40 and then tell me that the content is worth that much. For people that are not so good at math - 40 x 2 million = 80 million. And for what? 8 story missions, 3 strikes and 7 new PvP maps... Hmmm I made a mistake becoming a plumber.

They still have to pay Activision 500 million dollars.

Hey I am tired and didn't look in to a lot of other things.And I just wanted give out the point that people are using more money on other games and still getting infuriated about a $40 price tag for ~2 months straight.They should have saw this coming ,regular expansions for $20 and there is a 'bigger' one coming so they will raise the price on the big one. I can admit those were childish words but that only because I am tired. And a slang can't change an argument.
-
At least your post did state some good points whereas most other posts just say "I'm not a peasant therefore I will buy it". I wish those people would have the same attitude towards charities.
-
*claps* ...you sir. You probably gotta take a few breathes after that one. I feel winded just reading the whole thing! Haha
-
Trust me I challenged my self to say out loud under a minute . lets just say I was out for 10 or so
-
Well, I have to pay 60 dollars cause i live europa (Switzerland) and thats to much
-
Feel bad for ya bro
