2 breakfast sandwiches - $8 bucks
Redbull $3.30
Girls coffee $2
Around $4 bucks in gas driving to work.
Before 9 am i spent $17.30 by default. This is automatic. By the days end I'll be minimum $35 in.
Yet people are complaining they got a bare minimum of 50 hours of entertainment (it will be way more) for $15 bucks? You feel you were OWED a raid? No. I'm sorry to break the news to you, but you aren't OWED anything. In the game, or in life.
Take you're imaginary girlfriend to see a movie, two tickets are $25+ all day...for [b]an hour and a half of entertainment[/b]
There's a new mode, that every single one of you whining, babbling, cry babies are completely dismissing before you even know what it is. How bout you shut the -blam!- up, man up, grab your balls and stop being such spoiled little self entitled muts to society.
[b]EDIT. Alot of comment are pouring in with people saying things like "if I ordered a steak and potatoes, but got no steak I'd be pissed". Of course I would, because I ORDERED that. Video games are not -blam!-ing made a la carte. They are made by companies, pre determined, and we buy them. We don't customize them before purchase.[/b]
[b]EDIT 2. Did anyone stop to think maybe bungie is delaying the raid so people don't jump head first into it, and actually get to enjoy all the new, hard worked content first? Just a thought.[/b]
[b]EDIT 3 my favorite one of all. This thread generated a ton of response, way more than I expected. What I like is that the vast majority of the responses are level headed people who agree. There is hope.[/b]
[b]FINAL EDIT - I see a lot people turning this into my "spending habits are flawed" if I knew what I was doing with money I wouldn't buy the game type of thread. I hate to burst everyone's bubble, but spending habits and budgeting are RELATIVE to what you earn. Video games like any other leisure are an EARNED RIGHT. I'm 31 now, and from 18 to about 26 I didn't even own a gaming console. Growing up when I lived home with mommy and daddy and did, because it didn't matter. Once I got priorities in order,in put games down for almost 8 years. Now at 31, I've set myself up with a years of hard work that I can sit back and enjoy my leisures comfortably. If i gamed as much in my 20's as I've been in the past 3 months I probably would have lost my job eventually. $30 a day on misc items may be a lot to some people, and I respect that, nor do I look down on you for it. I happen to do well for myself, not because of luck or having things handed to me...but because I busted my ass and made tons of sacrafices. So no, my 20 to 30 bucks daily wasn't the point of this thread. The point was if you had any respect for work, man hours, and a dollar, you'd understand that 15-20 bucks for the content that you're getting is WELL WORTH IT. Don't give "bungie promised me" bs either. Don't be mad at bungie for believing an unofficial leak.[/b]

In today's day and age there are leaks, and reviews everywhere when it comes to video games. Read about what you are spending your money on. If you feel the content is not worth $15.00, then do not purchase. Those of you who preordered... Foolish.
-
What does topic prove? That you waste a lot of money? You eat poorly? What does this have to do with anything?
-
I like how people add up your totals based off of a loose representation of how you might spend money on simple things. Missing the point entirely. Oh internet.. How you actually reflect the people of the real world. Dumb shits everywhere. P.S. $15-$20 is reasonable.
-
Good logic sir
-
Just today I've spent $25 on breakfast fixins, another $15 on lunch stuff for the kids for the week, toilet paper was $10. $40 on 4 beers and a growler (tip included) $20 on random things I needed to make dinner (not even all the ingredients, just what i didn't have already). $20 dollars for a dlc is nothing.
-
You sir are beautiful. I love the counter arguement for steak and potatoes lol. Good job, hopefully this will open up people's eyes that $15 is literally nothing.
-
You talk sense
-
Preach the truth
-
I love lamp and Pot
-
Well you sound so privileged. Maybe you can get your head out your azz and realize many are not in the same socio-economic situation your in.
-
2 sandwiches? Ease up dude. Eat some porridge instead. Cut down on the red bull too, bad for you.
-
Bungie is reading this and laughing so hard they are crying... and whipping their tears with money.

Edited by Chad: 4/20/2015 1:35:52 PMYou make valid points but at the end of the day it's not the money it's the principle of the matter. Nickel and diming the community. Advertise x and deliver y, that's my issue, not the actual monetary cost.

I just spent $210 on 500 grams of tea. [spoiler]*sips tea*[/spoiler]

My perspective on this is, Crotas raid felt rushed and underwhelming in comparison to the vault of glass. I think the extra time they have they're designing a better raid. I want a raid, with challenge set to every member. Crota has been reduced to 1 hunter running the first phase, warlock second phase, the wizard part is the part where everyone becomes cohesive. Then, crota won't be completed if there isn't enough gjallarhorns. Not the best raid, so I can't Wait to see what they will be designing for the next few months.

I'll leave this here....

Muted [spoiler]Lmfao[/spoiler]

So the meaning of this economics lesson is that you can afford to pay for all of us? Yay!

People complain because of what they believe they were promised Destiny [i]would be[/i] instead of appreciating what Destiny [i]is[/i]. I watched one single trailer before release, so I didn't have any meaningful expectations about it. As a result, I really, really love this game. My buddies that bought into all of the hype think it sucks. I paid $60 and have gotten more than 600 hours of entertainment out of it. That means I've paid approximately 10 cents per hour of entertainment. To put that in perspective, I would have to pay 15 to 20 cents to see a movie, which hasn't happened for decades, and monthly cable costs far more than that. What I'm getting at is that people should (1) put aside their own pre-conceived notions and (2) remember the [u]value[/u] of this entertainment source.
-
Loved the explanation. Thanks man.
-
Broke mother f'ers...lol
-
Err..£20 here ($32). It's only a dlc... Not a full game so it better be good
-
Agreed
-
You forgot to add the "priceless" tag line. Lol

I paid 9 dollars for a Margarita , 30 for a steak there other day that to me an 10 minutes to eat and drink. I will get alot of hours of entertainment from this DLC. So I think it's worth it.
