[quote]You agreed, when confirming/accepting the ToS, that you were merely paying for access to D2 content, not the content itself. So if you don't like paying for content that eventually gets removed, does that mean you don't pay for any of the streaming services? [quote]Netflix, Hulu, and tons of other media streaming sites/apps, have content that comes and goes. I pay $100 bucks a year for the NFL Gamepass. So I can watch the football games I miss. But I pay that money knowing that I will lose access to those games eventually.[/quote] I’m sorry, but Video Games are not and should not be treated like those services at all cause they ARE NOT those services period. [quote]FOMO, is a millennial term. Often used by people who feel they are entitled to endless content for little to no price.[/quote] HAH!! Little to no price? Are you serious dude?! With the $180 bucks I and many others spent already on this Game, that isn’t a “little to no price” this is laughable. And those who are staying with this series with it’s new direction are spending another $35 to $60 bucks for Shadowkeep isn’t a “Little to no price” we aren’t “entitled.” When we spend money on a Game, we want our stuff to be there whenever WE choose to play it, not have it removed at the end of a Season, we’re right to be upset about it. [quote]Why fear missing out on something, like seasonal content in a video game?[/quote] Many people on here are collectors and part of being a collector IS to have it all, that isn’t entitlement, that’s just being a collector and we shouldn’t be time gated, we should be able to collect cosmetic or other wise everything without having to beat a clock. I can tell you straight up, Shadowkeep isn’t going to sell nearly as much as Borderlands 3. Why? Cause it is a Game that we can play as much as we want, take off for 6 Months for other games, come back to it and know that we can pick up where we left off. THAT is how Destiny should be. Seasonal Content wouldn’t be so bad if it didn’t have a STORY attached to it that people will miss out on, not so much as the Cosmetics and the Events. And it is entirely voided by the fact you can buy the seasons separately if you choose. If you know you can't or won't have much time to play a certain season, then don't pay the $10 for that season. The rest of us, who play weekly, won't miss out. If you barely play, I can understand your complaint some. But let's say you can only play 5 out of 10 weeks of a season. You are still getting those 5 weeks for $2 a week. [quote]Facts: It costs money to build and publish video game content. Bungie employees get paid salaries so Bungie needs to make enough yearly money to make sure their employees get paid every couple of weeks. The seasons are optional. Play or don't play. Buy or don't buy. The choice is yours.[/quote] Bungie can make money the old fashioned way of the Gaming Industry did before MTX and Loot Boxes. Game Developers got by with it before, they can do it again. Borderlands 3 has no MTX or Loot Boxes and their Sales Number are up by a lot and they’ll be using that money to fund the DLC’s coming out.

  • Movies, tv shows, and video games, all fall under, entertainment industry. So they are the same, imo. ----- I have spent a total of $250 on D2 so far, for all the offered content, and a little on eververse. I am paid up, through all 3 years of D2, the 2 past years and the year to come. With the amount of hours played, so far, I've spent around 25 cents per hour. And other than some possible future MTX, every hour I play this next year, will lower that per hour cost. ----- I can agree that content that comes and goes, does negatively impact players, that feel they need to collect everything. I try to collect as much as I can, but it has never been a priority to me. And isn't actually a requirement to make progress in the Destiny universe. If it is the top reason you play, then I guess FOMO, comes into play for you and others like you. But I also don't think the majority of D2 enthusiasts are completionist collectors, either. So to say, "D2 is supposed to be about the ability to collect everything," is in fact an entitled opinion of, "how the game is supposed to be." Bungie isn't designing the game solely for you or others that like to collect everything. There are tons of people who simply play, because they enjoy the gun play, and the challenges presented to them. ----- Finally, as far as Borderlands 3 is concerned. I just beat my first run through of the campaign, yesterday. Now, I can choose to rerun all the content on the other 3 vault hunters, or take part in the 3 levels of mayhem. But ultimately, after your first completion of the campaign, the continued playtime is basically just rerunning the very same content at slightly, ever increasing difficulty. With the ultimate goal, of just collecting the same weapons but with higher stats. I haven't looked into the road map of Borderlands 3, so I'll admit I don't know what, when, or at what price future content will be added. But I have to imagine the game wont be doubling in size with each expansion, so completing the dlc won't add significant amounts of truly unique game play.
