Bungie ain't fooling me!..
So i see these forums about you guys being happy about the whole "$20 dollars off" well guess what, ya'll are fools. Bungie/Activision knew for a fact that we would get aggravated & feel cheated by offering us TTK & nonsense extras for $80. They wanted us to feel like that so they can come on in & swoop us off our feet with this "we dropped price tag by $20 for you guys, we heard, we listen." crap. Guess what? The original price tag was going to be $60 either way. It's a simple business marketing technique. Raise the price from the ideal price tag, buyers will feel cheated, make buyer happy with 'reasonable' discount, profits never lost. It'll be a win-win for them. But I'm not falling for it. Bungie has gone way too far on this one. I'm not supporting their game anymore. At least not until they clean up their huge mess & offer us a much better deal.

I'm sure they would have been perfectly happy to do so. Now that there has been uproar, they have to go for their fallback position (which is still overpriced). Best thing is to vote with our feet. I stayed out of Destiny from December until May, when Bungie seemed to be turning over a new leaf with HoW. Now that Bungie will be back to greedyville in September, it may be time for me to avoid it again.
