I like the rest of you was initially excited by the idea of a new expansion for the destiny universe. So I ordered it based on the advertised content.... new weapons, armor, strikes, crucible events, the reef social space, and most important to the loyal following a new RAID.
I do not stand alone in my frustration of todays announcement. Anyone else who purchased the expansion are victims. Everyone one of you is, do not be fooled by gimmicks of upgrading the content you already paid for. They have reaped millions of dollars in profit to adjust numbers on our items.
The crimes I can think of initially are as follows.
Consumer fraud
Theft of services
False advertising
I am gathering signatures in an attempt to file a class action lawsuit against bungie/activision.
Do not fall victim and walk away from the game like so many im sure intend to. They have stolen from everyone one of us, I for one have bills to pay I don't have the ability to sell fictitous content for hundreds of millions of dollars. I hope that you will join me. Change starts with something as simple putting your voice out there and a commitment to justice

My knee jerk reaction to this announcement was one of disgust and wanting to immediately suspend any and all Destiny gameplay. My thought process being that if a sufficient number of gamers boycotted Destiny the games designer/producer would have no choice other than to take into account the actual views of the players and revisit the planned content of the HoW DLC. That being said, I am a reasonable adult and upon reflection feel that the appropriate action may be to show a little patience, give Bungie the benefit of the doubt and wait for more information regarding the actual content to be disseminated prior to quitting Destiny or not. Rest assured though, should the DLC turn out to be little more than a revamped version of CoD zombie mode aka HORDE mode then I shall immediately add my support to the above petition for a lawsuit against either one or both of these companies in respect of the appalling betrayal. Bungie, . I find it inconceivable that Bungie, a company once heralded as one of the best game designers in the industry should choose to ignore the desires and wishes of their fan base with regard to the development of the Destiny Universe and opt for the money making option instead. That kind of short sighted decision will inevitably lead to their demise as a game developer!
