To correct you point by point: [quote]The Kotaku article sheds light on the fact that Bungie and Activision cut up Vanilla Destiny to be sold separately...The article shows that not only was the game cut up, but that it was cut up for the sole purpose of being sold separately at a premium just so they could squeeze more money out of us.[/quote]Nowhere and in no fashion was this written. In fact, it was directly contradicted. TDB was written in 9 weeks, AFTER the release of the vanilla game. I'm getting that directly from the same article you supposedly read. But because it had the words "content" and "cut" in it, you believe it backs up your view that there was a "cut content" scam. [quote]Microtransactions are introduced into a game that most of us have paid over $120 for[/quote]Transactions for items that are 100% optional and 100% cosmetic. Please make your point. [quote]Look at all the games that have been released since Destiny launched and look at how many have used the kind of underhanded tactics that has been used with Destiny.[/quote]Please find me any major game that does not have a season pass or other add-on content that must be paid for to experience everything the game has to offer. The Batman games have add-on content. Call of Duty and Battlefield have map packs which, if not purchased, mean you will slowly have more and more trouble getting into multiplayer matches (and admit it, multiplayer is the core of those games). [quote] You are just like a battered wife[/quote]This analogy trivializes REAL domestic abuse in a way I can't begin to explain. Actual domestic abuse costs lives. All Destiny costs is money. If I'm ever dissatisfied with the money it costs compared with the entertainment it gives, I'll stop, simple as that. Are you interested in helping REAL victims of domestic abuse? Go donate or volunteer at a shelter. Do something USEFUL with your time. This? This was not useful.
