In Response to "We Already Paid For It"

EDIT: There is a difference between buying something and later receiving an extra surprise that was never part of what you agreed to pay for, and actually buying that something extra. [b]You only bought what you originally exchanged money for[/b], so don't act angry and entitled when something extra is not to your liking because [b]that something extra was never part of the deal[/b]. That's essentially the point. With regards to the upcoming Spring Update, which is free if you already bought TTK, a lot of people are insisting that they already paid for it, which is just silly to me. The mental gymnastics people engage in to justify their sense of entitlement is amazing. - When buying TTK, nowhere did it say you're also paying for a future update of content. That was never part of the deal. It's like buying a box of chocolates one day, and the makers of the chocolate surprise you with a smaller box of chocolate that's free to anyone who bought the first box. When you bought the first box of chocolate, there was never a reasonable expectation that you would receive a smaller second box. Likewise, there is no reason to believe Bungie owes you. - When you buy micro-transaction items, you're not buying future updates, you're buying the item you're literally paying for. If you bought an emote, you only paid for the emote. If you bought some sparrow kit, you only bought a sparrow kit. You didn't buy whatever Bungie decides to spend that money on. - Yes, the Prison of Elders portion of the upcoming content is essentially a tweaked and improved version of something you already paid for (PoE from House of Wolves), but that does not entitle you to the new tweaked and improved product. If you buy a car of a make and model, you're not entitled to the slightly tweaked and improved new model released next year. The car you paid for is still there, and likewise, the content you paid for with HoW is still there (the original PoE), so there is no reason to feel the new product is owed to you. When you buy a product, it does not come with the expectation that you will get the new version of that product when such a new version releases. - Sure, raising Vault of Glass and Crota's End to end-game levels with end-game infusable gear along with Prison of Elders would have been great, but the bottom line is that there was no obligation on Bungie's part to give you this update at all, but they are doing it anyway. They could have charged $5 and got away with it, but they didn't. If you bought TTK, this update is FREE, I guess anyone who is not an entitled child must be a "desticle," right? :p Given the toxic nature of this community, I think I should probably avoid comments, but I'm not sure I can.

  • So those 6 other exotics that were advertised with the taken King, the exotics I paid for that are coming in this update I don't deserve even though I already paid for them? You're a -blam!-ing idiot.
