I understand where people are coming from with this. I woke up on Tuesday and decided to play a little to maybe get some marks before going to work. I hadn't picked up my TTK copy yet so I didn't expect much. I was actually shocked that I had almost nothing to do. There was a flash of irritation, but not much. I just had to wait until after work. That being said, while I understand the frustration, I don't agree with it. Your first mistake is comparing this game to any other. It's not CoD, or Halo, or WoW. The model for this game is kind of new. If not completely new. Most other games are a one shot. They make a game and release it, and that's about it. The only reason most of the time a "sequel" comes out, it's because of the success of the first. It typically isn't planned to go beyond that. Each following sequel is predicated on the success of the previous. Even if it's a planned series, they spend considerably more time between releases. I'm not certain if the developers expected, or wanted to continue WoW for 10+ years, but here we are. I do know that it's a sequel, for all intents and purposes. Designed to capitalize on the success of its predecessors. I won't go immediately into detail about the differences between DLCs and expansions, as we're focusing on content lock out, but I could. The key thing nobody is really focusing on here, is how Destiny was planned. This was, from the beginning (roughly I'm sure), a 10 year plan. It's not a series of standalone games about the same story. It's not games released every other year. It is a constantly evolving and changing story/game. I'm pretty certain Bungie didn't plan, expect, or want you to just buy Destiny and nothing else. They didn't plan for you to just stagnate in Vanilla, or TBD, or HoW. They want, expect, and plan, that either you're along for the whole ride, or you're jumping off the train. I'm not going to insult anyone's intelligence, but I feel like they have been as transparent as possible about that. As much as a company can be. I'm sure it'd be bad PR if someone just stated that really bluntly. Even if they haven't been in your face about that expectation, this is as new a venture for them as it is for us. Bungie isn't screwing anyone over, it's not a shady business practice. It's just not what you're used to, but then again, there's plenty about Destiny that people aren't used to.
