[quote]This is how these games work...again...see WoW. Not only do you pay for expansions, you pay a monthly fee so that they can afford to keep development on-going between releases of content. Hopefully you're going to school for software development so you can work for Bungie for free so that no one will have to pay a whopping $35 for 2 DLCs *eye roll*.[/quote] 1. This game is not an "MMO" 2. Many "MMO's" do not have a subscription fee(Aion, Tera, etc) and many of the others that do don't charge for "expansions"(EVE Online, FF14: ARR) 3. The only reason WOW still has a subscription fee is because Blizzard knows people are overly invested in the game and will continue to pay even if their game is quickly becoming dated, they simply can't let all their hours poured into the game be for nothing. (It should be noted that this is a similar defense tactic that I'm seeing as people try to justify this on-disc DLC horseshit) [quote]Firstly, see my response to point #1. Also, how do you know what was leaked was all of the content? You don't. You cannot speculate on the DLCs until they are released or until Bungie makes a statement, but if it's 4-5 missions, 2 strikes 1 raid and crucible maps for $18, that's an easy choice for me. I work for a living, i didn't win the lottery, mortgage payments, car payments, pets, weddings all of that adds up, but i can scrounge $35 together for a game I can really enjoy.[/quote] 4. Nobody is questioning the stability of your income or whether or not you can or can't afford to pay for this on-disc "DLC". People are asking WHY they should have to pay for something that they literally ALREADY PAYED FOR. No amount of twisting the truth will make this the right thing to do and only a fool or Activision/Bungie themselves would defend this kind of practice, end of discussion.
