When will you morons understand it's not about the price, it's about the principal. Certain gamers are tired of having to buy dlc with every game. Just increase the price to 80-100$ from start instead of claiming it's 60 for half the game then getting the rest 40$ later. You guys are making empty unrelated analogies, comparing physical life sustaining things to digital imaginary ones. Whether for entertainment or not, you wouldn't go to a movie theater pay 10$ then at the end pay another 5$ for the rest would you? Dlc are supposed to be expansions, not rips offs. Game devs have been abusing dlc for a few years now and it seems they're making it a requirement to play a complete -blam!-ing game. Nobody cares if you can afford to waste money at every whim. Most people are more selective with their spending. Money is an investment. .you buy gas to invest into your destination, you buy food to invest into your body, you buy entertainment to invest into your mental joy(hours played =/= joy).investments should not constantly require more investing. If you have to invest more money the return should be equal to the initial return. Meaning that if I go to the movies and watch a 2 hour movie, then if I want to watch the sequel, the sequel should be 2 hours as well. If I go to a restaurant and order a meal, and I'm asked to order another meal, the following meal should be just as good or fill me up just as much. If I buy a game for 60$ and buy dlc for damn near 40 $ the dlc should add a substantial amount of things close to the amount of content initially found on the original game. People owned/achieved(or could've owned) everything TDB had to offer within a week or two, unlike the initial launch of Destiny where people took weeks/months to get everything. They abuse the loot system to make u think content is more than what it is forcing you to play hours on end thinking you're getting your money's worth. It's a cheap yet effective gimmick, but still a gimmick nonetheless. Like I said nobody cares if you spend 20$ in a few hours on irrelevant things, telling people to get jobs is ignorant as -blam!-. Some people have minimum wage jobs where they make maybe 40-50$ a day [b][u]IF[/u][/b] they're fulltime, Before taxes. After they pay for food, gas, and living expenses they're probably left with 5$ leisure money if they spend right, so yes 20$ is enough to raise valid concern if it's overpriced you -blam!-ing super consumers.
