Here's an example numb nuts. I pre ordered destiny white ps4 edition, i also pre ordered both dlc's for 35 sterling. I have played the game all year and mostly enjoyed the experience. This game is the reason i got a PS4. TTK comes out I as a consumer don't thinks its worth £40, it might be it might not but it is my decision not to buy it.
So I log on to destiny with my other friends who have also choosen not to buy it. What do we find....... nothing! We can only play prison of Elders, Story and 3 multiplayer matches! No Nightfall, no Weekly and no daily. So the game is now unplayable to us.
We dont want any new content gear blah blah blah, only to play what we have been playing for the last year. Bungie could have made this possible and would be better off for it, why!? Because it would have given players a third choice to play the game and see the changes around them, which in turn could lead to them actually purchasing the new content.
Instead we have 2 choices download dlc and play the game or -blam!- off because we didn't and unless we do we cannot play anything. Its a very counter productive strategy. Yes im sure the taken king is good maybe even worth the $40 (£28 pounds) it should be, but I'll never know because bungie have basically stuck their fingers up at any year 1 player that won't be manipulated in to buying content just to have access to stuff they've already paid for. Overall i invested 450 pounds to play this game at the beginning and what thanks do I get......nothing not even a seperate nightfall loop for non dlc players. Not even a -blam!-ing trailer to watch to entice me into clicking the purchase button! I was gonna wait for the game to drop in price but im done with this game now. Just when they start to get things right too! Ahh well enjoy guys, just remember you wanna play you gotta pay........ evidently more than once for some content!

Imagine deciding to buy it and with Destiny Year 3 going through the same lock out of 75% of the game. If this is their policy it's not even worth it.

So you have the PS4 edition that comes with everything and You won't buy TTK.... Wtf?
-
Even if you still have weekly daily and nightfall still isn't worth playing the game. It's boring! Just buy taken king already. I guess EVEN IF crucible is open for control clash etc. still be boring not having access to new guns.

I probably would of bought it by now dude, if i was playing the game whilst talking in chat with my friend who is playing the dlc telling me how awesome it is. Instead he's playing Elder scrolls because no one else has bought it and im not on my ps because I will not be forced to buy something to play a game. Its now about principles, I won't be manipulated into doing something. The dlc is good so why not let that do the selling for you? Why strip everything away for people who don't buy the dlc? Its a very shady strategy.

Well....I would like to preview games if possible (which they did open it for a week to everyone to try out). But like most you research to see if a game is worth your money and then you buy it. I wouldn't call it being manipulated to buy it. That's just advertisement and PR. I don't know of any other game for you to try absolutely free with EVERYTHING to try out. Otherwise you can't sell it and that's the point.
