The Taken King.... More like The Taken Kontent

Never have I played a game that removed content and put it all behind a paywall. This is a new low in the video game industry, and Activision and Bungie should be ashamed of themselves. I can no longer play the only things I enjoyed in the game, as they were all taken away. I was thinking about buying TTK, but couldn't afford it just yet. So, I figured I would just do weeklies, play control, do some higher level strike playlists, and maybe some Iron Banner when it drops. Well, can't do any of that now. As a result of this under-handed business tactic, I will not be purchasing TTK, as I cannot support developers who treat their customers this way. Now, before your even mention the EULA, know that there are consumer protection laws for some people, that prevent anyone from agreeing to an unfair contract, even if they previously accepted this agreement. And, I believe they are in violation of these LAWS, which the EULA is not. *EDIT: for those interested, I have filed formal complaints with the BBB, as well as the Washington State Attorney General's Office Consumer Protection Division. I guess we will see just how far Bungie is legally allowed to take things, and if they are legally in the wrong. As consumers, it is our right to complain of injustices, regardless of EULA's. Anyone refuting this fact is nothing short of ignorant. Now we will see what the law has to say. *Edit: it's amazing how toxic this community is. It seems there is no camaraderie in this community, and people just resort to personal attacks at the first sign of someone having a different opinion, or a genuine issue with the product. Bungie, in my opinion, made a shitty decision, and showed they don't care for anyone who does not purchase TTK, and all the fanboy's can't see past their blind love for the game. So I pose a question to everyone. Ignoring the EULA, what do you think of the way Bungie has handled this expansion roll-out with regards to those that have not purchased it? Put yourselves in their shoes, and give an honest answer. *Edit: For those that care, the BBB complaint has been processed, and Activision has until October 02, 2015 to respond. Apparently hundreds of people have filed complaints against Activision for various games, with amicable resolutions. There is hope. *Edit: just to clear a misunderstanding. I own the game and the first 2 expansions. I paid over $100 for all that just like everyone else. I don't want anything for free. I just want what I have always had... What everyone always had. *Edit: So, Activision responded to my complaint, and had the following to say: [quote]I understand your frustrations, I have dealt with other cases similar to yours. Unfortunately we are not in a situation to provide refunds or compensation. Unfortunately the only thing I am capable of doing for you is to pass along any feedback you might have. I do not know if this policy will change in the future. If there was more I could do, I would do it with no questions asked. For now if you have any more feedback please feel free to update this case along with your Gamertag/PSN ID. Thank you for your time and have a good day.[/quote] They assume that all I want is money. I just want the features back. I already responded to them, and the BBB case. It seems Activision really doesn't care to solve the issue... big surprise there. *Edit: For those that have not seen this. If Bungie is forced to do this, does that not mean their EULA was in violation of these customer's rights? They are forced to right a wrong, and have been given a reasonable window in which to address it. And yes, they are providing storage upgrades. [url]https://www.destinythegame.com/size-requirements[/url] *Edit: To all those following this, I have just received a response back from the Attorney General's Office Consumer Protection Division of Washington State. They have reviewed my complaint, and deemed it appropriate to move forward. Note, this is a law office deeming this a valid complaint regarding the Consumer Protection Act. So, if they see this as a valid complaint, what right does anyone else have to label this otherwise? They know the law better than you. *Edit: This may be my final edit. For those interested, it appears you can get a refund on your purchase by sending your disc into Activision, and requesting a refund. As per Bungie's EULA, if you do not agree with the terms therein, you are entitled to a refund. So, any guardians out there that don't agree with what happened, and would like a refund, just send your disc to Activision and request one. One final note, should you do this, Bungie will apparently delete your characters and Destiny account from their servers; you have been warned.

    • The taken king is all content they made after destiny was released. How is that locked behind a paywall? Think about this, we downloaded taken king 17g (newly created content). You can't swing that to make it sound like it was there before destiny was originally released. Get your facts straight, then rant.

        • So you passed the bar in Washington state? No? Ok anyways moving on. The only content you are locked out of is reaching a level higher than 40. Since all the content requires you to be higher than 34 you can't play it. You still have access to strikes, missions, raids and gear from year 1 destiny. Do you really think a multi million dollar company doesn't have a team of actual lawyers who ensure that they aren't breaking the law?

        • What I think? Like my college professor said, "Many people can't tell the difference between what is unfortunate, and what is unfair". It was fortunate for these people that----in Year One----Bungie bent over backwards to keep these non-paying individuals fully engaged in the community and end-game. Essentially GIVING away their product that they stated----time and again---was NOT part of the base game. It is UNFORTUNATE---at the start of Year Two----that this is on longer feasible, and Bungie has chosen not to continue it. If you think that what happened here was "unfair"? You've clearly never played any sort of subscritiption-based MMO or other on-line game....and seen what happens when you stop paying that sub fee. There is supporting people....and then there is just enabling their bad attitude and bad behavior.

            I am glad that this was done, so people with the expansion experience it as part of the core game. I've always been tired of buying dlc maps and not having them in regular rotation (this goes for any game), and I need to play some specific playlist that may include gametypes I don't like. Or not having my new strikes included in nightfall content due to player content differences. It affects both sides negatively, but the side that pays shouldn't be the ones neglected.

                  • This game has always been a ten year franchise. Why is it a surprise that Bungie wouldn't support content for players that aren't supporting the next chapter in the franchise?

                  • Haha just look at that. The lowest thhe game industry has gone was when korean mmo started giving out daily rewards to the person who threw the most cash into microtransactions. And here we have a solid game with a few dlc added each year

                    • Interesting how you say cut content was in TTK. If you've played attention you'd know that none of it was cut. The only thing I'm concerned about with that is TDB

                    • I see in your edits you call us toxic. You're no better with your complaining. There is plenty to do for people who don't have TTK. You can do Both old raids, patrols, old strikes, missions, and normal crucible. And if you really want more to do, then 40$ is more than worth it. You're just locked out of the new raid, the new story, the dreadnaught, most daily missions, most weekly strikes, and special crucible. I'm not sure what you think complaining about this will get you, but if you are really that butthurt about not being able to do the new activities, then BUY THE DLC! I got the collectors edition for 80$, and it's more than worth it.
