You don't seem to really grasp who this dlc is really geared towards do you: Instant leveling. Taken king collection edition, new leveling system. Etc. That 40 dollars he is withholding is a drop in the bucket. They already have made profit at this point. Everything else here on is icing. What they are doing is attracting new consumers. If he has no plans to support it later. Well that's funds lost but please let's not be naive into thinking that the new dlc or destiny 2 will suffer.
