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.

I think a much better analogy would be: I bought Microsoft office 1997. Now they want to sell me the "same stuff" with slightly updated features. They are just being greedy! But, now I can't open new files because my software is outdated. How could a company deny me the right to use new features that others paid for, when I refuse to pay for those same features?!!! Bungie did the same thing that most software developers do when updating their software. They provide support and backwards compatibility (I.e. aetheric light) to allow those of us that didn't purchase the DLC to continue playing the game. They didn't HAVE to. They were not REQUIRED to. Now, they did the same thing that software devs do when a system gets to old. They make a new/updated version (Destiny 2.0) and sell it. And when a game makes that big of a leap, they can't just throw in fully functional backwards compatibility like its no big deal. If bungie were to release an item equivalent to aetheric light with TTK, nothing would change. The year one OP weapons would remain OP. The year one OP armor would remain OP. All of the time they took to balance weapon classes, and armor perks would go to waste because everyone would stick to their old gear. TTK is an upgrade and as such costs money. Sure they moved some features around and made it harder to access older content, but no year 1 players lost content. You didn't get a "nightfall" strike at launch; you bought access to play a set number of strikes currently in the game. You can still play all of them, you didn't lose access to them.
