Ironic that Bungie decided to use silver coins as the new currency. Silver coins have been a symbol of betrayal since it was said that Judas sold out Jesus for 30 silver coins 2000 years ago. Now Bungie introduces a real money backed system, which countless games have done but cause players to feel betrayed or like the company is selling out, and base it on silver coins. So appropriate.
In a world where we fly planet to planet in about a minute, they couldn't come up with a slightly more exotic currency that doesn't have that betrayal vibe to it?
-side note before you lose your mind that someone referenced the Bible, there is no actual religious connotation to my post. I'm not here to say the Bible is right or wrong nor do I ever care to discuss it. You will not offend me by hailing Satan, or any other God, demon, or whatever. Believe or don't believe whatever you like. The part I referenced is a well known by Christians, Atheists, Agnostics, Catholics, Muslims, etc. Again, the point is too show the irony of their choice not to talk about religion.

...are you an English major? Because that's kind of a stretch to compare the two. It's a game, with micro transactions, that's all that it is. I get your comparison but still...it's a stretch
