Ok Bungie, heres the thing,
I've stood by you this whole way. I was always shaming the haters, and upset when people complained about the game after putting hundreds of hours into it. and i still stand by my stance, and will continue to do so.
I was there defending you when people complained recently about the atheon fix, and how it broke and exposed a few other bugs and glitches. I get it, I work in the IT space, and totally understand that things break, and you guys have honestly been amazing for fixing major issues very quickly. So dont worry about those complainers, they dont understand that technology isnt full proof, and code doesnt write itself, and bugs dont fix themselves. I get it and you have my continued support and thanks for amazing speed and attention you give us.
Instead of continuing in detail about all the hiccups and how im still there with you, long story short; I get why things happen, im thankful for how you have responded so far, and im still there with you in full support and trust.
However, today I'm experiencing some interesting emotions that I havent felt for a while. Today I feel that feeling when you know a relationship just took a turn for the worst, and you know that it may not last. This is an emotion i havent felt in a very long time, as I am quite happily married to a super rad chick.
But I feel these emotions today, and a bit of betrayal to be honest.
In no way is this an attack or the rambling of an entitled brat that didnt get what they wanted out of a gave (despite hundreds of hours of play time)
I feel to hurt and betrayed becasue tomorrow (friday the 31st) ($payday!) i will be trading in my 360 to get an xbox one so i can play with my best buds.
and im pretty sure that exactly this kind of thing is what you wanted us to get out of the game. the community, and people say its not there, but really it is and even stronger when its your close real world friends to enjoy saving the human race with.
But im so deeply hurt because of this DLC content. I'm about to spend a lot of money on a console, then a lot of money on DLC over the future year, to get half the product. I understand DLC exclusivity, totally get it and am okay with it. But giving me less content (considerable now) for the exact same price seems unfair, giving it to me in a month or so would even have been fine by me, once again the exclusive thing i get it. But a year into the game youre finally going to give me the content that i payed for?? With two large companies handling this game, how did not one person (and heres where im looking at you bungie) raise their hand and say, ummm, i think this is really going to piss some people off, are we sure this is a good idea? i know activision is largely to blame for a lot of the problems that have happened, but where is the artistic and community focused bungie i knew even a few months ago?
So why am i paying the same price for this DLC if its 2/3 of the actualy product? what other market works like this?
hey, can you mow my lawn?
Sure it will cost you $20
That sounds great!
okay sweet, so ill be back in a year to do the other 1/3 of the lawn okay?
___
see how that does not honour the consumer??
its just flat out unfair...
and so bungie, im wondering and would really like a response because i think it would dictate how many players think of you going forward.
BUNGIE, are you going to keep to this method for every DLC package you put out for Destiny? if so please give us fair warning now as xbox users, because if so, after all the dlc releases, we will actually be missing over a quarter of the content.
do you think this will make us hold on that year to play again? no, because we would have done the whole endgame by that point.
so please Bungie, maybe DeeJ, actually respond to my question at the end here, because i think a lot of us would like to know how, and deserve to know how you plan to treat us xbox users, because i feel unfarily treated (and a little discriminated against). and cant fully understand why I have to pay the SAME price, for less content for a year.
so once again bungie, i would highly respect a thoughtful response into this question.
Respectfully,
A faithful to the end fan of you and this game

Why complain to bungie about the fact that Playstation bought the right to own more content then xbox. That's right Playstation payed to get this. Xbox had an offer on the table I'm sure but Playstation paid more. It's a business where money talks. Activision agreed took Playstation's money and there you have one whole extra strike, one. How about Playstation players that will never get a halo game because Microsoft paid a butt load of cash to keep Playstation away. You're not getting half the content you're get one less battle. Let's not forget about PC getting all the good updates for warframe first. A pay to win gamers paradise. Solution own every system buy only the exclusives for each system. Be broke but have it all.

This is more about the question if this is going to be a continued practice. if the main game, and 2 or more dlc packs are missing strikes and other content, but at the same price point, its no longer justifiable to me. even the content that ps had at the beginning im fine with, but if every dlc costs the same but we get less, it makes it harder to justify the price. especially if this trend continues, xbox users will have so much less content for a year. It comes down to business practices and integrity from a company that preaches community care and involvement.

Where is the compassion for ps users when they didn't give them halo. Also I'm a huge halo fan until 4. I can walk the maps backwards and forward. You're insinuating that bungie didn't want to give it to xbox maybe they did and Activision shut them down or maybe ps paid more to shut everyone up. It's simple really if it upsets someone that bad don't give them the money and wait for Xbox to give it away in a deal. Wait I never got anything free from xbox so that'll never happen. So then just take the money else where.

I agree with your point, as i said in the post its clearly an activision side of things, especialyl when it comes to money. but a year later getting the same content i paid for? thats crazy, if it was months sure, if it was an exclusive freebie for ps users sure, im fine with that. but why must i pay? Also i was on the ps side of things when we kept getting the tease of, oh it sounds like maybe they will release halo for ps year after! and i was stoked and let down like everyone else. but that was an exclusive game for xbox at the time, just like uncharted or the last of us for ps4. thats quite a different ball game. and thier biggest mistake that got everyone so upset this time around i think, is that they told us all what was in the DLC, all the stikes and raid etc. then all of a sudden let us know that the content is only for some. its about the practices and serving the customer. im big on customer service and not creating a punishment system for the end user or consumer (especially when it comes to wireless providers), so this is why it bothers me so much. im fine with ps getting the content, even if it was forever and we never got it. but i dont think its fair to pay the same price for something. answer me this honestly, a similar parable as the last i stated; you ask me to provide a service to you, lets say you want me to clean the vents in your house. I charge you the fee upfront. 3/4 through the job, i tell you "okay, i have to leave now, but i will be back in 10 months to finish that last 1/4 of the job" what would your response be if someone did this? would you say, ya sure man, as long as it gets done im fine with it. or do you do the reasonable consumer thing and tell me, no youre going to finish the job within the month. ??

Why can you not finish the job? Are you able to outsource your remaining work to another company? Will you reimburse me the difference until you are able to return to finish the job? Can I guarantee you will return to finish the job? We have several factors in a situation of that nature that are not definitive. I do see your point however. In turn though preordering a game. You pay up front for it just to wait for the game to be released as well. Was it fair to xbox that after preordering they come in and go "oh by the way, you won't get this for X time longer". Not at all. Knowing anything about exclusives and Activision should it be a surprise? This a sensitive topic we can go back and forth all day and both be right in many areas. I'm saying knowing what I know about games and businesses I am not surprised this has happened.

Aww... Fanboy but hurt.

Butt* and i've only been on xbox consoles for a year and a bit, but thank you for your unsolicited, incorrect, ignorant negativity. If it was a playstation thing i would have the same concerns, good to know your level of care for your fellow guardians.
