[quote]This pre-order bonus rids the whole process of unlocking cool items and characters of its sense of achievement, shifting the focus away from skill and placing it upon cash instead. Aside from it being anti-consumer in a business sense, it’s also not very fun, with this pre-order bonus only serving to reward those who will risk investing in game they haven’t played yet, rather than actually adding anything to the game itself.[/quote] [quote]There is positively no need for us to pre-order games in this day and age. The bonuses offered to us by publishers and developers are becoming much more exclusionary, moving away from little tokens of appreciation to things that can do damage to the game in the long run, all for the sake of driving in early sales.[/quote] [i]Credit to Paul Tamburro from Craveonline.com (January 21st, 2015)[/i]

  • Since your poll choices are 100% bias towards your opinion I refuse to participate.just because somebody preorders a dlc doesn't mean they don't give a crap about the game. It just means that they're bright enough to realize that all this pissing and moaning has done nothing but open up more revenue potential for activision/bungie not shut it down. I will be buying it because I have friends that already have. I like playing games with my friends.

  • Idiots that say that this is biased are the ones who still think that this game is good.

    Look at the poll moron. In the OP's mind anyone who has ordered or will order TTK suddenly didn't care about destiny. It's just isn't that black or white. Like I've said before. So far the .0003% of the player base have signed the petition for change. Some of us are intelligent enough to realize that this forum and third party petitions do not even come close to majority. Bungie is not going to give away dlc , take a financial loss because of a perpetual cryfest by the games minority.

  • If it's biased then don't vote for anything. Why don't bitch about it being biased if you so strongly believe that they aren't gonna do anything?

  • I've stated my opinions. I have a problem with people that force their logic and way of thinking down your throat by any cheap means necessary. Just look at the quote the OP placed to try and win some votes. Op is trying to liken our situation to the holocost.

  • "I have a problem with people who force their logic" and here you are bitching in the forums that it's biased and how he is not the majority

  • You're comparing factual percentages to somebody that used the holocost to drive their point home about the price of video game dlc. You're just as ignorant as he is.

  • Nope, anyone with a brain with intelligence understands the use the poem serves there, if not you're literally an idiot, I'd gladly help anyone understand why as I have done somewhere else (and successfully had them say "I agree now"l but I CBF and many of you wouldn't try to understand you'd just sit there in your glass house thinking you're right.

  • They aren't biased, you either agree, or you say you will pre order anyway because you DONT care about all this stuff and you are happy with the current situation, seriously. [quote]It just means that they're bright enough[/quote] You may be on to something here. Provided they have read what I have written and even the articles linked, ANYONE with a brain would not pre order, this is just common sense, if someone disagrees after all that well...you know ;)

    Right but tons of people have already preordered. They even claim to have sold out of the preorder physical legendary edition. There was a study done a few years back about forums and I remember reading that only 25% of players from any given game actually visit the games website or forum/community board. If you were to convince 100% of the forum users to your cause you'd still be missing 75% of the player base. I forgot to mention , they also claimed that of those 25 per centers that use forums or community boards , only 1% actually post on them. I know that doesn't count 'guest' users but still. You're reaching a very very small audience in terms of the games population. I've had to point at least 5-6 of my friends to the recruitment sections just because they were simply unaware it even existed.

  • Ok I will aware you because i'm nice; Random game store is told it gets 500 copies of a game, this is what it starts with, if 500 pre order they are 'sold out' the publisher is then informed and allots them another 250 copies because the PRE ORDERS tell them that the game WILL sell...and all before anyone knows if it is any good mind you! Yes you're totally right, not everyone is on here, but this is just a sample of the total population, if I asked 2 people about this and they said "i'm rich i dont care" then it would seem like everyone is fine, this is not the case, so far there is over 1000 votes on the poll. Yeah once again you are right, very few use boards, I have barely used boards for games in my life, but I want this game to be better so i'm getting up off my ass, (jk i'm sitting on it) and trying to do the BEST I CAN.

    3.2 million people play destiny every day. To scare bungie you're gonna have to get a whole lot more votes really fast. Cause so far youve only reached .0003% of the player base.

  • The votes just reflect the wider community, none of my friends have even voted on this or commented on it and I know many who have played destiny till ESO and W3 came out because they got bored. So my one opinion could reflect another 30 at least and that's just ME so if you use that idea think about who is posting and then their friends etc...adds up fast
