I Stopped Paying for Netflix and Now I Can't Watch Movies, RIPOFF!
So I've paid for Netflix for an entire year! I've invested so much time into Orange is the New Black and House of Cards, I even grinded every episode of Friends last month! Now, I log in today and all of it is gone! I can't even watch movies that I have been able to watch for a full year!
I don't get it. I've been a loyal customer for a year, and just because I stopped paying, I get locked out of content. Well I wont be giving them my business anymore, scammers.[spoiler]Do you get it now?[/spoiler]
EDIT 1: I seem to be getting a lot of similar replies, usually directed at claiming Destiny is not a "subscription" service and that we the players "own" the game. I'm sorry boys and girls, we do not own anything. We paid for a liscence to access Destiny's content; content which is subject to change or even be removed for those who don't update their liscence. This was all outlined in the EULA you blindly accepted a year ago.
EDIT 2: "LIMITED USE LICENSE: Bungie grants you the non-exclusive, personal, non-transferable, limited right and license to install and use one copy of this Program solely for your non-commercial use. All rights not specifically granted are reserved by Bungie. The Program is licensed, not sold, for your use. Your license confers no title or ownership in this Program, and should not be construed as a sale of any rights in this Program."
EDIT 3: Jesus this is still going, this is fantastic. It looks like the verdict is roughly about 50/50 on people agreeing with me, or calling me some derivative of the word retard. To each their own I guess. I'd hope you guys get this worked up when Norton Antivirus tries to charge you for updates, and then removes features when you don't pay. Because, you know, you bought a disk, so you're clearly entitled.

What a complete moron, try see if you can buy a subscription for brain cells.

3 RepliesThe problem is not if it's legal or not, the problem is they are treating customers like garbage. No one with half a brain is claiming bungie is doing something illegal but most will agree they are pulling a scumbag move. If you don't buy the new WoW expansion content isn't severally limited for you, if you don't buy the new borderlands dlc, loot suddenly becomes harder to get. Standards have been set by other company's on how this should be handled, and bungie and activision decided to try and squeeze more money out of people by employing cheap tactics to get more people I buy TTK. Tl:DR It's a pathetic move to get more people to buy the dlc because apparently they had not confidence it would sell without resorting to shit business practices.

7 RepliesThis analogy makes absolutely no sense. You can't even access Netflix content w/o a subscription. The issue with TTK is users w/o it are severely restricted in what they're able to do. The level locked activities are inevitably going to be restricted to players who purchased TTK since TTK raised the level cap and players w/o are unable to reach that cap. Players w/o TTK should be able to select which pvp mode they want to play and not be forced to play modes they don't want to like they could pre-TTK. Users who don't purchase an 'add-on' should not be restricted in the use of the content they were accustomed to. To work with your Netflix analogy. What is being done to users who haven't purchased TTK would be like Netflix not allowing you to choose episodes in a show and loaded up random episodes within a season or restricted which episodes you could watch unless you paid an additional fee. What you paid for is altered and would only be accessible again if you paid the additional fee. That is a consumer rights no-no; if users who've not bought TTK are allowed to do what they used to pre-TTK (outside of level restricted content like weeklies and daily story missions) then there's nothing wrong. TTK is great but the way users who don't purchase TTK are being treated is kind of abhorrent. There is nothing for these users to do in the game except raid since that is the only venue where they can receive rewards they're able to use.

[i]I bought all the marvel film DVDs but I havn't gotten round to buying age of ultron yet and now I can't even watch Thor 1 or even Guardians of the galaxy I don't get it. I've been a loyal customer for a year, and just because I stopped paying, I get locked out of content. Well I wont be giving them my business anymore, scammers[/i] [spoiler]do you get it now? We bought something as in bought not paid a subscription fee we bought "expansions" not a 3 month access card and you know what? I didn't buy TTK so I shouldn't get access to new maps/areas but I should still have access to previous content[/spoiler]

If this were a subscription based game you would be making a point but this is rental vs bought here.

9 RepliesEdited by JHarv: 9/18/2015 8:27:46 AMWhere I do agree with the philosophy of paying for more, new things where you can choose not to if you want to continue to use old, dated things you've already paid for in the past, I think it's rotten that Bungie has actually closed some of those old things off. For example, you could do the Nightfall before, and now you can't. You've lost a year 1 Nightfall playlist because you didn't pay to come to year 2. That isn't right. You should still have access to everything that you used to have access to. Gear, playlists, and otherwise. You should just be locked out of the new stuff that everyone else will be playing, now. But hey, it's not my business. Just bail and find something you enjoy and maybe they'll get the message.

1 ReplyI seriously don't understand why people bitch so much. If you truly want to Lvl up so bad and keep playing destiny just buy ttk. It's 40$ only are people really that poor?
-
Destiny was never sold on a subscription model?
-
read "stopped playing for netflix" first
-
Nailed it :)
-
I see the point you're trying to make, but the analogy doesn't transfer.
-
Play + Whine = hypocrite.
-
Netflix related and not Destiny related lol
-
HAHAHAHAH! This is awesome! So true
-
Amen, brother.
-
Pay attention kids, this is actual satire, and well done i might add, not the dumb b.s. bait rants you all love to put that hash tag under
-
And I upvote you so hard that your children's children will feel the high five far into life. ^_^

Terrible analogy
-
1 ReplyCool, thanks for confirming once and for all its pay to play.

2 RepliesWhat does having to pay a monthly fee for a service in return have to do with paying a one time fee for an item? I'm confused with that analogy. I'm just trying to make sense of all this... Most the content is there. Some of it has been removed; Eris no longer having bounties. However the accessibility of it has been altered. Such as being able to run 32 strikes before TTK, now only 20 if you don't have it. On top of vendors being of no use to you. With TTK, we have new enemies that pop in. The Taken. Even non-TTK players can run into them on whatever they are doing. Due to possible level differences, even the old content may be rendered unplayable. I understand that Bungle will change and alter the game (even the EULA) as they see fit, but that doesn't make it any less uncalled for, unethical, and shady in the way that they have done it. It's sounding a lot like purchasing a vehicle, only to have it serviced by the dealership, and I get it back with out the rear axle because of "business". If I'm wrong in saying any of this, please do correct me in any of my fallacies.

5 RepliesYour point is likely the most accurate analogy I have read on these forums. I applaud and agree with you
-
20 RepliesIt's like you think something in a tos statement can't still be illegal. Like contracts don't get overturned all the time every day. Lol at kids these days and your complete lack of a clue. Love it.

3 RepliesI have stopped paying for cod DLCs... Ogh wait, you mean I can still play the rest if the game? Cool
-
1 ReplyIf bungie added a lvl 34 legacy strike playlist and more classic crucible game types less people would complain
-
That's odd, I didn't know I was renting Destiny.

3 RepliesI bought culture clubs first album, I didn't buy the second album and not I can't listen to the first album.
