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]

To me its not about the money. I take more offense to the blatently lazy way that they release content. ok, 4+ months to release a strike and a piece of PVP and PVE end game content (or so we conjecture). The communication is lacking as well, but I'm pretty used to it so it doesn't really bother me. Lets face it, they have known for a long time that there was not going to be a raid. Ok, well when people talk about the new raid coming, how about just setting out a press release saying "Hey, were going to change it up, no raid but check this out". Give people more substance to look at and they can see for themselves if its something they like or not. Give an option to the bad news you foresee. When I bought my season pass I was under the (false) pretense that there would be more raid content. That's on me, no one put a gun to my head and made me buy it. So I made a uniformed choice. Like i'll never make one of those again right? I'm kinda disappointed and I know it will drive people from the game. In the end who's more guilty, the fisherman or the hungry fish? I know the under 16 crowd will not be able to figure this out as they have had a lot handed to them. Was I angry yesterday, yeah. Did I think about it and come to the conclusion that its my own fault, Guilty. Am I going to pass judgement until its actually here, nope. But seeing as the moral compass of these forums consists of the "Get Gud" crowd, the vocal minority will always scream for more, and of their flavor.
