the cognitive dissonance is strong in this one. You do realize that Bungie specifically refrained from saying they would do future expansions for free so that if they decided to still have paid DLC they could say, exactly what you just said. You are basically doing exactly what they wanted to happen. Still they left the language vauge enough in their announcement article so that people would get the impression that they meant DLC, while also having someone "leak" info to Kotaku about it. This way they could stem the tide of anger towards micro-transactions since they knew a ton of people would not be happy. They could basically say, "but dont' worry guys you'll get the DLC for free" while not legally saying it. I've been involved in campaigns like this before and it stinks of so much spin and PR it's gross. Here is their quote from the news announcement: "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." To most people that sounds like hey everything for the next year is going to be funded by these micro-transactions. Maybe you think of yourself as so supremely intelligent that you weren't fooled but a significant portion of the fan base and numerous people arguing with people who were angry over micro-transactions on these very forums can attest to it. They even tried to get confirmation from Cozmo or Deej on whether or not it was true and all they got was silence. So maybe stop sticking up for a company that so freely screws over people for their hard earned dollars.
