[EULA] you're screwed... too bad.
Was prompted to review the [url=http://www.bungie.net/eula]EULA[/url] when I launched Destiny just now. The agreement was last modified since August 14, 2014, so this is not new, but i read it over just to see exactly what Bungie/Activision was entitled to:
[quote]Bungie may change, modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Program at any time. Bungie may also impose limits on certain features or restrict your access to parts or all of the Program without notice or liability.[/quote]
So the whole DLC issue with removed weekly and nightfall is completely within their right. They can remove this feature and more if they really wanted to.
Who reads these things anyway? We should just trust Bungie/Activision, right? The game is so much fun and there's nothing out there like it, right?
Rationalize this all you want but rest assured you will always be at their mercy and no amount of feedback you post on these forums will make a difference. The only one way will be to uninstall Destiny, remove your account from Bungie.net and get on with your life.
I'm disappointed because I really love Destiny. It was by far one of the most creative FPS games I've ever played and I will sorely miss the raid and the amazing PvP gameplay. Despite its flaws, I felt that Bungie created something really good. (I clocked a lot of time and felt I got more than my monies worth -- thank you!) But unfortunately I won't be supporting these terms and their generally bad business practices anymore. It's too stressful for me.
Thanks to all of the gamers I met in Destiny and on these forums. I wish you all the best (I seriously mean this) and I hope Bungie/Activision turn a new leaf.

Like others commented, almost all eulas contain such provisions nowadays. Regardless of that its worth noting that such terms have never been tested in court and while they are legally binding they do not supercede the law. Other thing that is important is that the eula is disproportionately favorable towards the company and places all responsibilities on the customer, that's something that a court might frown upon especially considering minors can buy and play the game. Depending on your local and federal consumer laws its possible that most of the terms are unenforceable. As an example the clause at the end that claim i'm subject to the laws of the state of California in regards to the EULA is unenforceable in my case since I do not live on continental US soil and our local laws expressly forbid such an abusive clause. Good try Bungie but not all your customers are ignorant of their legal rights.
