Mass panic over... $15 bucks. Lmfao
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]

Certain gamers are tired of having to buy dlc with every game. Just increase the price to 80-100$ from start instead of claiming it's 60 for half the game then getting the rest 40$ later. You guys are making empty unrelated analogies, comparing physical life sustaining things to digital imaginary ones. Whether for entertainment or not, you wouldn't go to a movie theater pay 10$ then at the end pay another 5$ for the rest would you? Dlc are supposed to be expansions, not rips offs. Game devs have been abusing dlc for a few years now and it seems they're making it a requirement to play a complete -blam!-ing game. Nobody cares if you can afford to waste money at every whim. Most people are more selective with their spending. Money is an investment. .you buy gas to invest into your destination, you buy food to invest into your body, you buy entertainment to invest into your mental joy(hours played =/= joy).investments should not constantly require more investing. If you have to invest more money the return should be equal to the initial return. Meaning that if I go to the movies and watch a 2 hour movie, then if I want to watch the sequel, the sequel should be 2 hours as well. If I go to a restaurant and order a meal, and I'm asked to order another meal, the following meal should be just as good or fill me up just as much. If I buy a game for 60$ and buy dlc for damn near 40 $ the dlc should add a substantial amount of things close to the amount of content initially found on the original game. People owned/achieved(or could've owned) everything TDB had to offer within a week or two, unlike the initial launch of Destiny where people took weeks/months to get everything. They abuse the loot system to make u think content is more than what it is forcing you to play hours on end thinking you're getting your money's worth. It's a cheap yet effective gimmick, but still a gimmick nonetheless. Like I said nobody cares if you spend 20$ in a few hours on irrelevant things, telling people to get jobs is ignorant as -blam!-. Some people have minimum wage jobs where they make maybe 40-50$ a day [b][u]IF[/u][/b] they're fulltime, Before taxes. After they pay for food, gas, and living expenses they're probably left with 5$ leisure money if they spend right, so yes 20$ is enough to raise valid concern if it's overpriced you -blam!-ing super consumers.
