Last night I was on the playstation store and I noticed that a bunch of games, like far cry 4, ac unity, dragon age, gta 5, were all still selling for their original retail price.
All of these games were released within a month or two of destiny. Now, destiny is selling the original game, both expansions, and the taken King for $79.99.
What does that say about the original game they released last year? The game they sold for the same price as the games I listed above. Are those other games really so superior to destiny that they could retain their value so much better? That's basically what bungie is saying. Day one players paid $70 for a game that now isn't worth nearly what other games, released at roughly the same time, are worth.
Day one players paid $70 for the game, $40 for the two expansions and now need to pay $40 more for the taken King.
So how does that break down in taken king? If it's $40 alone, then both the original game and the two expansions are only worth $40 now? I'm pretty sure both expansions are still selling for $20 each. So, does that mean the original game is worth $0?
I really don't understand bungie's reasoning here and it's messed up that we paid $70 for a game that is now essentially worth nothing. Like I said earlier, how are those other games still worth their full price, while day one destiny, is worth nothing?
This bothering any other day one players?

So overall I think Destiny is worth $70. I paid $100. Not knocking Destiny though, because right now I'm being charged $500 for information I'll never need for my actual degree. (Thank god for scholarships) Bottom line, my wallet has been -blam!- worse.
