Letter to Bungie from a day one player.
Dear Bungie (and Activision)
I, as a day one player, won't be purchasing the new expansion for $40 when I end up spending $20 more than new players (even more because I bought the Ghost Edition but we'll ignore that and just assume I bought the vanilla game) and they get cool exclusive content like exotic class items (with permanent XP bonuses) that loyal players don't. That's where I draw the line. I want those exotic class items but I'm not going to be suckered into spending $80 to get awesome exclusive items that noobs get while us loyal players are left in the cold. Not cool, Bungie. I think you're going to lose a lot of devoted fans over this bullshit. If you include all the new exclusive digital content with the $40 expansion for players who already own the previous games and expansions, there's a chance I might purchase it. If not, I'm going elsewhere and it's been a fun ride. Really disappointed in the dishonest marketing on display here. Why would you punish your most loyal fans? It's a sad day. /rant

2 RepliesEdit: I received alot of love! Keeep pushing! We will get what we want! We want our Day One veteran Collector Edition To!!! Bungie Will listen!!! : "So just found out that you'll be able to get the Taken King, Dark Below, and House of Wolves, plus the Destiny game for $79.99 dollars, plus other game swag like a replica of a strange coin and a steel cover with pictures, and a bunch of other stuff... Wtf is this #Bungie ? I payed $60, well actually almost $500 because I bought the white edition PS4 that came with Destiny, but let's just say it was $60, then I payed $35 for the the season pass that gave me the first two expansions, so $100 in total for The game and 2 expansions, and now you're releasing another Destiny game, with all the DLC for $79.99? Taken King is $40, Dark Below is $20 and House of Wolves is $20 so that's $80 in just Dlc, the game is $60, so $140 is what we since day 1 have to pay, but if you buy this new Destiny game, not only do you get a great deal, because you save 40% , but you also get exclusive Exotic Class Items (3 exotic class items) that give you extra XP for doing things, 3, not 1, but 3 shaders, and 3 class emotes, whatever that means, but we that have to pay for everything separate, we that have been with #Bungie and #Destinythegame Since day 1, get screwed over this bad? And by that I mean, that all we get is one stupid shader that probably is gonna look horrible, since y'all didn't even bother with the House of Wolves Expansion shaders, one sparrow that is really nothing special at all, its just for show like the ships, and one emblem that already looks bad, and that doesn't give you any boost or anything, just for show. How's this fair at all? And all this is for the digital copies, the hard copy? Even cheaper, at $59.99, and it still comes with all the dlc, but it doesn't come with the extra swag, still, how's this even fair?"
