Repeatedly telling us to purchase the content we already have bought was just silly to begin with, telling us it was 'good value' was even sillier. However the absolute arrogance in this interview made me cringe every time he answered a question. This mindset probably isn't across the board, but it's been instilled into him from within the company.
Bungie look awful after this, and I can imagine a lot of preorders will be getting cancelled.
Shambles.

Completely agree. I am a mature gamer with some 17 years experience on the PC platform. $40 does not equal £40 ffs it is about time this is sorted out, there is no excuse for this wallet -blam!- on the basis of currency exchange, it's an absolute -blam!-ing disgrace to even promote the idea that £40 is a valid sum for DLC. It is outright utter greed shame on you! For the record i can make this payment with relative ease, but it is gauling to see that price after the half arsed dlc which was recently released. As a developer myself, i found the recent iteration to be incredibly lazy in comparison to other well known titles. No new factions, no raids, a competitive element with the poorest matchmaking i have seen for over a decade. This company makes out the delivery of a competitive scenario should make us bow, but the reality is, such scenario's should have been in their as a base element. It is really poor Bungie. Sadly, this reminds me of the extremely arrogant and incredibly annoying Bobby Kotick, who only wankered a COD franchise but was an utter arrogant twat also. Finally, people will pay and that's why player power = no power. Money talks! and the next generation arrives with a lack of funds.
