You sir need to pay more attention. Free content until next major content? Seriously? So you'd rather buy two more dlc this year? Yeah didn't think so.

Edited by x813 Kris Rollzz: 10/6/2015 5:12:27 PMCan someone using this argument please point out where it explicitly says or EXPLICITLY implies that Activision and Bungie will be handing out free stuff...? I'm seeing it used everywhere but nobody seems to be citing any sources, and if that's the case, it makes for a very weak argument. EDIT: I'm neutral in this debate. I don't mind COSMETIC microtransactions

Here is the article from Kotaku, however no official word from Bungie. http://kotaku.com/sources-destiny-will-get-paid-cosmetic-dlc-and-free-ne-1734800399

"You’ll still receive updates to the game," and "Our plan is to use these new items to bolster the service provided by our live team for another full year, as they grow and create more robust and engaging events that we’ll announce later this year. It has been, and continues to be, our goal to deliver updates to the game. Going forward, our live team is also looking to grow beyond vital updates and improvements to focus on world events, experiences, and feature requests." ^^That is free stuff for everyone regardless of money spent by an individual. Now, saying that they are using the funds to bolster the service means they intended to release this new free content anyway but making made from the microtransactions go into making the free content better since they would be able to assign more people to it and make the content more robust than if no money was made by microtransactions.

Edited by x813 Kris Rollzz: 10/6/2015 5:19:57 PMUpdates is your idea of free stuff? My good sir, there have been NUMEROUS updates to this game since release, all without microtransactions. I don't think this quite counts :/ EDIT: I'm not saying it won't happen. But if we look at this game's past, would it really surprise you or they didn't give any free content?

Read more comments before you comment

I read your comment, I'm making a point.
-
Do you really think you'll get expansions for free? They said free dlc...so have fun getting that free sparrow, ship, and shader you might get for free.

This guy is a troll or moron to think this is a bad idea I'm going to love my free dlcs :)
-
Mind you this isn't confirmed. They only hinted at it.
-
Micro transactions are destroying my favorite hobby. If you love video games like I do then you shouldn't be supporting their destruction.
-
I love video games more than most things. This is a good thing for destiny. I understand your skepticism bit just watch.

As much as I want this to be true I haven't seen a source confirm this. Bungie has not stated this nor its publisher. Only microtransactions from the kotaku article were confirmed nothing else. I also don't see it as a viable replacement model to what bungie currently has. It would be very impressive if their revenue could increase from this substitution. As such I believe it is additional supplemental income for bungie to help provide a cash flow for more and development that will still cost us money (which I'm okay with doing). But I agree microtransactions don't belong in $60 games. I buy a game, I would like everything to be obtainable through in game progress. This trend is not a favorite of mine. But in the end I'll probably end up buying things, because I am a weak willed man.
-
They hinted at it in the news article. Either way it will pay for more support. So long as it stays only cosmetic there is no problem here
-
Everything should be obtainable in the game. In every game you have to shell out $60 for. Cosmetic or not.
-
So if they just charged $80 up front that'd be cool? Or if they have a subscription? But that dude riding a stick horse is ruining the industry.
