I'm actually amazed that Last-Gen players aren't trying to orchestrate a class-action suit against Bungie.
This isn't tongue-in-cheek, this isn't sarcastic, and this isn't even meant as a "haha you're stuck in the past" barb at the PS3 and 360 players.
I'm just legit amazed that you guys haven't gotten together and said, "This is not what we were promised when we invested $60 - $100+ in buying this game and the updates that it turned out. We're not going to settle for this treatment and this kind of exclusionary behavior, just because we're less financially-capable of buying a next-gen console."
Don't get me wrong, I 100% understand the hardware limitations that come with the older consoles, and I 100% understand that Destiny has just about reached that limitation on both machines. But it goes way beyond that, with all of the extra-steps they've been taking to proverbially cut the balls off of the last-gen players.
They could've honestly just left it at, "You won't be getting the next big expansion, because it just can't support what we're trying to do with it." But Bungie has seen fit to not only cross the line, but barrel across it and then piss all over it once they're on the other side.
> "You won't be getting exotics from Xur anymore."
> "You won't be playing Trials of Osiris anymore; you won't be getting Trials-Gear anymore."
> "You won't be playing Iron Banner anymore; you won't be getting Iron Banner-Gear anymore."
> "You won't be enjoying the live-events like Festival of the Lost anymore."
> "You won't be getting anymore updates to gear, and so you won't be getting higher light-levels anymore."
And that's just a few things to list off. Bungie has basically told you guys, "The game's over until you decide to upgrade. Now go piss up a rope." All of this is why I'm amazed that these two communities haven't gotten together and said, "No. -blam!- that shit. Class-Action Lawsuit."
Don't get me wrong; I'm on my Next-Gen console, personally. I'm 100% ready for the update and waiting eagerly for September. But as someone who's spent most of my life being stuck in "Last-Gen" situations, as far back as the PS2 era (I didn't get a PS2 of my own until almost 2005), I feel bad for you guys.
To me, this just seems like you're getting a bad cut, no matter how you slice it.

I'm a PS3-user, and have been very vocal in stating my general displeasure at this change in things. However, no class action suit is appropriate. We're still getting the game we paid for. All missions will function, prison of elders will work, the Crucible will be available. Bungie will continue to take care of us as much as they can. We will lose the Iron banner, we will lose Trials, and we will effectively lose Xur. But that just means we won't get the freebies that Bungie gave us because they're so awesome and try to be nice to us. They do this in hopes that we will stay, buy more stuff, and tell our friends how awesome Destiny is (they want to make us happy because making us happy makes them more money). Bungie probably has a legal department that has forgotten more about matters of this nature than any of us will evr know. They wouldn't freeze us out unless it was entirely within the parameters of the law for them to do so.
