    [b]I have no issue with the fact that the Destiny game "out of the box" had additional content with the Sony platforms.[/b] Although I believe these types of deals are always bad for gamers, I understand the business reasoning / funding / and co-marketing opportunities. [b]I do however have a serious issue with how the information was presented to me as a customer.[/b] I purchased the digital Guardian edition that included the next 2 expansion packs for Xbox one. Bungie and Activision never clearly communicated that the DLC I was purchasing at the same price as PlayStation users would have less content. I believe that DLC packs sold should be the same on both platforms... Either provide a timed exclusive or offer additional content. I think if the Dark Below contained the same content for both platforms and an additional DLC pack came to PS4 as an exclusive bonus mission at a later date, gamers would be less frustrated. [b]I think the biggest issue is that the overall game is lacking variety in content. Everyone has played the same strikes over and over and over again.[/b] With $20 DLC packs, we should be receiving at least an additional 3rd of a game. The core of the game is there and the effort to release a DLC expansion is far less than developing a game from the ground up. A DLC pack should have been a new planet or at a minimum an additional strike on each of the existing planets. [b]It is unfortunate that gamers are feeling cheaped out from Bungie and Activision. For a franchise with a long term vision trying to build good will with gamers each DLC pack should feel packed with new content and the community should be excited. With so many copies of Destiny out there, the goal should be to make the content so compelling that purchasing it becomes a no brainer.[/b] Aim for a 90% attachment rate. The install base is there so make the DLC meaningful and the profits will follow. The pre-order bonus was also a little bit of a disappointment, but my red ghost has already heard that complaint a few times. I do love this game despite many of the short comings, but in the future I will think twice before pre-ording any content from Bungie and Activision and three times before investing in a future sequel to this franchise.
