It's not that simple. When you get older, you realize that while $20 may not be a large amount of money, it is also significantly more important to manage it properly. I'm older than most gamers here, and yes, earning $20 at work isn't difficult. But that $20 represents several days of groceries, or half a tank of gas to get to work, both of which are more important than The Dark Below. It's a slippery slope to be sure, but just saying it's easy to earn $20 due to longevity in the workplace does not justify spending it by any means.

    Well I'd rather not have a heated debate about who's older but I can only speak for myself as to what holds true. If one manages to budget his finances and access them accordingly then it does become feasible to allow a mere $20 (at this point) to slip through and be used for something other than life's necessities. I'm not by any means condoning someone to live a life of spending money on whatever they want. But for my scenario even being married with 2 kids, it's not hard at all to manage $20. And if I may reiterate myself. There are many people who worked hard on this content who look forward to its release. Considering the advertising and resources needed for the game, it's price mark isn't unfair at all. I understand that $20 can be used elsewhere such as gas or groceries. But so can the 2 maybe 3 times of Chipotle or an everyday coffee. But hopefully you can see at which angle I'm coming from with this.

  • Absolutely! And no aggression intended. I suppose it's a "two sides of the same coin" situation. I should have added I will be enjoying the dark below myself (truth be told it's been ready to go since 9/9) and house of wolves as well. The crux of it is that many people's perceived value of the expansions has been severely tainted because of Destiny's less than stellar launch. I truly hope no one at Bungie views it as a monumental success like their previous titles. To say it has been rough would be very generous in my eyes. That's what they're fighting against now.

  • I completely agree with you there. I couldn't have said that any better myself.
