To the people complaining about the DLC, updates, and bungie in general, let's take a moment to exercise some common sense.
[b]DLC?[/b]
YES, a good portion of the future DLC is already in the game and is technically accessable by glitching out of the maps. However, if you were to actually do this, you would find that the areas are far from perfectly complete. They are very buggy and contain a whole lot of problems. Sure, Bungie included these places before launch, but have you ever considered that they did it to make it easier down the road for themselves, rather than just to rob you of money?
Furthermore, charging for DLC is not a new concept. Nearly every successful game does this. Call of Duty has been doing it for years and NO ONE complains! The only difference is that CoD doesn't put the maps in the game before, because its not a free roam world! So where would they put them?? But that doesn't stop them from charging you every penny they can get for each new map pack.
[b]CONTRACTUAL RIGHTS[/b]
Upset that you are on Xbox and have to wait a year for stuff that Play Station already has? Well get used to it because there is a contract in place (just like how Xbox had rights to Halo) that says Playstation has the rights! At least it's just a year and not FORVER like halo was.
[b]10 YEAR PLAN[/b]
If Destiny truly has a 10 year plan for expansions, do you actually believe that they can keep paying their employees for 10 years off of the 60$ we spent to buy the game? No! They would run out of money in no time. Just like any on running massive multiplayer online game, they need to charge a little bit of money in order to keep themselves functioning!
To everyone that feels the need to point out that the 10 year plan in fact involves several new titles and additions to the legacy, bear in mind that regardless of how the 10 year plan is carried out, it requires money. This game is Bungie's baby. They want to make it the best game they have ever made. Give them time, be patient, and enjoy the future releases.
[b]UPDATES[/b]
People are constantly asking for updates for the game. I am sure bungie is listening to you, but what do you want them to do? Reply to 10,000 comments a day saying, "we read your comment and the idea is in consideration"? Do you have any idea how long it takes for developers to consider an idea, bring it before the board, plan the idea, beta test the idea, execute the idea, and finish the -blam!-ing idea? It takes a long -blam!-ing time! They plan on working on this game for 10 years. So expect many, many, many updates during that time. But they can only be done so fast. Developers aren't god. They can't build the world in seven days. So get used to it, or quit the game.
If you are patient enough to stick around, expect some pretty cool content coming in the near/far future.
[b]TIME[/b]
Let's consider one final thing. The majority of the players that have run out of things to do in Destiny have played 150+ hours. This game has been out for less than two months. The reason it is out of content is because we have literally OVERPLAYED it. Speaking from personal experience, I have played nearly 300 hours because this game is amazing. I highly doubt the developers of the game were ready for that.
If you are worried about content running out, maybe slow down a little bit. Even at my 300 hours, I am still having fun. But that's just me.
However, there are very few games that are capable from ripping me away from the real world.

Stop being such entitled little bitches and either just quit the game or accept that the world isn't free and takes time to make perfect.

[b]TL;DR[/b] (too long; didn't read)
- It is not free to continue producing content for a game
- A 10 year plan requires a 10 year budget
- The DLC "already in the game" is not finished. If you glitch out to it, you will see it needs considerable work before being ready for play.
- Bungie is contractually bound to release certain content on PSN only (for a year), it's not an option. Thats how contracts work.
- Updates take a considerable amount of time, and if Bungie wants this game to last 10 years, they need 10 years of updates. Be patient.
- If you are out of content already it may be time to go outside, or maybe call one of those friends you forgot you had.
[quote]Well when you think about it, Microsoft has more money than they will probably ever need. But thats no reason for them to start handing out copies of Office for free. The world runs on money, and whether we like it or not, we are part of the world. If the DLC was free, I would love it. But I very seldom get handed free things, so I am not too worried about buying it.
[b]I can spend 20$ for one night downtown that I won't even remember. I would happily spend 20$ for another 100 hours of gameplay that I will love every minute of.[/b][/quote]

I agree with most of what you are saying; I was mostly hoping Bungie was done with the platform wars. 1990s: Myth and Marathon were Mac only for at least decade. It made me sad as a PC gamer, but I stole enough time on my friend's Mac that I was able to enjoy those games. 2000-recent past: Bungie became a first party developer for Microsoft, making the Halo games (effectively) XBOX only. It made me sad as a PS2 owner, but this time I had an income so I grabbed an XBOX and 360. Present: Bungie is making multi - platform games! Finally I don't have to run from one system to another for one of my favorite developers! Oh, there's some PS exclusive content? Well that's sad, but sort of the norm these days. Whatever, I'm enjoying the content available. Awesome, DLC is coming out already and it's even at the same time for both systems! Oh, there's content in the DLC that I paid for but can't access for a year? That's... that's not normal at all. That's a disturbing new turn in the way DLC is delivered. Every other game gives full content DLC when you pay for it, even if you have to wait for the content to exist, season pass, or for a longer period than the other console. Is this really the direction we want the platform wars to go in? Plenty of people tell the opposing console's players to suck it up; they had to wait for this DLC, or didn't get that game at all. I'm of the mind that players, regardless of system, shouldn't be penalized by 3rd party developers (or publishers) just because they didn't pick the correct system du jour. Do gamers (PS, XBOX, PC, etc.) want it to become normal that you can't get the full worth of your DLC unless you are still playing the game 12 months later? Do you really dislike your fellow gamers enough to wish such a thing on them? Is that how you want developers and publishers to treat you? It's good for a short term laugh at the poor saps that aren't smart enough to grab your console. Long term though? Long term we all get screwed.

Hahaha your such a -blam!-en dumb ass homo. Eat a dick bungie ass licker. Haha.

Lol that's the pot calling the kettle black. Good job

Either you're one of the most saltiness man ever..... or you are just a huge troll... im guessing you're just a troll
-
101% true

Well said.

-
This is 100% correct.

Wow.... You good sir (and I use those words maliciously), are a Bungie/Activision ASS-KISSER, aren't you... Ya, all that read your crap scented words can tell you pucker up daily and plant you mouth right on their bums!!!

I, like any other logical person, hate the fact that they are using debatable business practices in order to get as much money as they can. But what it boils down to is, they can, and will, do it. Complaining changes nothing. So either you have 20$ you are willing to spend, or you complain and quit the game. I don't kiss their asses, I am just realistic and face the facts.
