Hrm...do I trust internet conspiracy artists? Or folks who make the game? Or do I find a middle ground....I'll go with the last option. Activision has a major controlling stake in Destiny. There were some major shake ups in the year prior to launch. What IF: There was going to be more to the main game, Activision wanted to see more DLC/Season Passes and used the chaos to get what they wanted to better monetize the game? You could easily argue that Bungie and Activision are interchangeable. Bungie claims that the "cut content" people see is preloaded stuff made of mostly used elements. It was put on the disc because they had room and wanted to save us on the DLC installs and downloads so that folks could play instead of complain about huge downloads. The truth is usually in the middle of things. Make your own choice and either play and support the game, or walk on to find a game that is more "honest" or whatever people think content producers should be... Or it's part of a conspiracy so large that there aren't enough forum posts to discuss it! Tin Foil Hats folks! Activate! I am shutting down my internet and will only receive calls via my can and string phone.
