I Stopped Paying for Netflix and Now I Can't Watch Movies, RIPOFF!
So I've paid for Netflix for an entire year! I've invested so much time into Orange is the New Black and House of Cards, I even grinded every episode of Friends last month! Now, I log in today and all of it is gone! I can't even watch movies that I have been able to watch for a full year!
I don't get it. I've been a loyal customer for a year, and just because I stopped paying, I get locked out of content. Well I wont be giving them my business anymore, scammers.[spoiler]Do you get it now?[/spoiler]
EDIT 1: I seem to be getting a lot of similar replies, usually directed at claiming Destiny is not a "subscription" service and that we the players "own" the game. I'm sorry boys and girls, we do not own anything. We paid for a liscence to access Destiny's content; content which is subject to change or even be removed for those who don't update their liscence. This was all outlined in the EULA you blindly accepted a year ago.
EDIT 2: "LIMITED USE LICENSE: Bungie grants you the non-exclusive, personal, non-transferable, limited right and license to install and use one copy of this Program solely for your non-commercial use. All rights not specifically granted are reserved by Bungie. The Program is licensed, not sold, for your use. Your license confers no title or ownership in this Program, and should not be construed as a sale of any rights in this Program."
EDIT 3: Jesus this is still going, this is fantastic. It looks like the verdict is roughly about 50/50 on people agreeing with me, or calling me some derivative of the word retard. To each their own I guess. I'd hope you guys get this worked up when Norton Antivirus tries to charge you for updates, and then removes features when you don't pay. Because, you know, you bought a disk, so you're clearly entitled.

This is basically it. The license (which is how we acquire most software) is clearly articulated but clearly not read. With Destiny, you have access to the base game even without buying the next round of DLC/subscription. But you aren't entitled to end game activities forever. But you do still get to play on the servers in the legacy activities. The real scam seems to be people who already enjoyed 100s of hours of entertainment and yet feel entitled to continued activities/upgrades that cost Bungie money to provide and/or people who demand refunds after already exhausting the content. That isn't cool. I took seriously the MMO aspects of this game and saw the DLC as a subscription you pay every 3-4 months. Maybe Bungie/Activision haven't been clear on this point. Perhaps instituting cosmetic micro transactions to subsidize the game will help. But I am sure another round of entitled kids will come out the woodwork screaming "content" and "paywall" and how they are entitled to the latest emotes and shaders....
