I Stopped Paying for Netflix and Now I Can't Watch Movies, RIPOFF!

So I've paid for Netflix for an entire year! I've invested so much time into Orange is the New Black and House of Cards, I even grinded every episode of Friends last month! Now, I log in today and all of it is gone! I can't even watch movies that I have been able to watch for a full year! I don't get it. I've been a loyal customer for a year, and just because I stopped paying, I get locked out of content. Well I wont be giving them my business anymore, scammers.[spoiler]Do you get it now?[/spoiler] EDIT 1: I seem to be getting a lot of similar replies, usually directed at claiming Destiny is not a "subscription" service and that we the players "own" the game. I'm sorry boys and girls, we do not own anything. We paid for a liscence to access Destiny's content; content which is subject to change or even be removed for those who don't update their liscence. This was all outlined in the EULA you blindly accepted a year ago. EDIT 2: "LIMITED USE LICENSE: Bungie grants you the non-exclusive, personal, non-transferable, limited right and license to install and use one copy of this Program solely for your non-commercial use. All rights not specifically granted are reserved by Bungie. The Program is licensed, not sold, for your use. Your license confers no title or ownership in this Program, and should not be construed as a sale of any rights in this Program." EDIT 3: Jesus this is still going, this is fantastic. It looks like the verdict is roughly about 50/50 on people agreeing with me, or calling me some derivative of the word retard. To each their own I guess. I'd hope you guys get this worked up when Norton Antivirus tries to charge you for updates, and then removes features when you don't pay. Because, you know, you bought a disk, so you're clearly entitled.

  • Your analogy is off but I can see where you're coming from. No we don't own Netflix or Norton just like we don't own Destiny we own the right to use the program. However Destiny, unlike Norton or Netflix, is not a subscription simply because(I'm not entirely sure if I'm right feel free to correct/ tell me I'm wrong here) legally Bungie/Activision would have to make you aware that it's a paid subscription. I commented on a post similar to "locked content" and I too was confused and angry that such a thing could happen but I did some research around other forums/comments and obviously the content left on Vanilla Destiny and that research led me to the conclusion that we did[i]not[/i] lose content they condensed them into playlists because of the reduced population and they needed to make sure those players aren't waiting a long time matchmaking I can understand that. We can't do Daily heroics, Weekly heroics and Nightfall's due to the increased level cap that happened with TDB/HOW except if you had the content you could play, ttk has removed this. Trials and Iron Banner are removed thanks to level advantages as well although I was under the impression that Trials was HOW content. They removed year 1 legendaries from the loot table and Vendors which they did with the previous dlc/expansions it's always happened. The difference this time is it's not the same it's on a bigger scale and it's the only time where the Daily/Weekly/Nightfall/IB/Trials cannot be accessed even IF you have that content because of the level cap. Bungie overhauled the majority of Destiny and reworked a few strikes with the taken in them. The problem for Vanilla players is the expansion has diminished the enjoyment of Vanilla content by making things unbelievably easy because we can't change base difficulty I'm not sure why that might be to do with the level/light changes made. Potential solutions: A year 1 Vendor selling year 1 legendaries rotational weapons and armor from year 1, Ability to increase difficulty on Story missions and Strikes, Optional Difficulty for Daily/Weekly/Nightfall when it is content THEY have for example Summoning pits with only Year 1 drops. I feel these would improve Vanilla game and not diminish the value of TTK. Now I understand and appreciate that Bungie has done a huge amount of work with the updates but not everyone has bought or will be purchasing the expansion day 1 and i think people who haven't got it should be negatively affected. This is my own opinion feel free to add yours or correct anything I got wrong.
