I think you'll all enjoy having a gander at this article/interview, and watch Luke Smith of Bungie act like the complete and total prick that he is. It makes me physically sick every time I read this interview. It is now 100% confirmed that TTK is just a cash grab.

No Luke, I will NOT be "throwing money at the screen" for this garbage. Just your rhetoric alone is enough to make me never want to come near a Bungie game again.
As for eurogamer, I'm proud of the way they handled the interview. A no punches pulled interview with Bungie is something we needed, and I'm glad they had the balls to do it.

Edited by RNBrown34: 6/22/2015 9:29:09 PMHere's some highlights. [quote]Eurogamer: Well, yeah. I would rather do that - pay a few pounds or dollars or whatever - than spend money on things I already own. Luke Smith: [Laughs] Well, we have nothing more to talk about regarding your opportunity to spend extra money in Destiny, other than The Taken King and the three versions we've announced.[/quote] [quote]Eurogamer: I get that it is big but it is also the same price as the base game. That had four areas rather than one and more missions than the Taken King. Why is it the same price? Luke Smith: All I can do is answer that with the same thing I just gave you... We're really comfortable with the value we're giving to players this autumn. I believe that once we begin to share more, players will be even more excited. And for existing players it also comes with the Founder's pack with a new Sparrow, shader and emblem.[/quote] [quote]Eurogamer: I'm not going to buy the game and the two DLCs all over again. Luke Smith: Okay, but first I want to poke at you on this a little bit. Eurogamer: Poke at me? Luke Smith: You're feeling anxious because you want this exclusive content but you don't know yet how much you want it. The notion of spending this money is making you anxious, I can see it -[/quote] [quote]Eurogamer: I'm not going to mention them again. I can't get them. Luke Smith: But you can if you buy the Collector's Edition.[/quote] [quote]Eurogamer: I do want them. I would buy them - Luke Smith: If I fired up a video right now and showed you the emotes you would throw money at the screen.[/quote] How unbelievably f*cking ignorant can you get? I have no respect for anyone who defends these morons. This is just too much. Sucks i'll miss out on new subclasses but i'm never buying another Destiny anything ever again.
