IT'S A "DON'T NEED TO PAY MORE" DLC, STOP COMPLAINING ONCE..

Guys guys... About the news.. Be at least once happy... It's a free DLC right, people working on that content are not making any money for the company. Yes they will reuse some stuff we had before, and that's totally fair. How can you make new content to make people happy and still don't waste too much money on it => reuse old stuff to make some new, that's a fair compromise ? They have a team working hard on the next big expansion later this year and another team even bigger working on Destiny 2 for next year. It's not like if lazy developers were taking drugs with some Russian chicks around a swimming pool at the top of Bungie's building. Edit: I saw a few comments about the DLC being part of TTK. So Instead of Free DLC, let's say then "you don't need to pay more for it" DLC. But I guess it's the same issue for any "Free DLC" (the division, the witcher...), it's never really free if you had to pay for a game at first. *Okay* Edit2: Okay they get money from the emotes that many people bought. But if the money is an issue for you I guess you didn't buy any emotes in the first place. Edit3: Sorry for my English ! Edit4: it is sad that I just wanted people to stop complaining and to just be happy once but they found a way to focus on FREE and DLC on my post and that's all... I guess I should just give up on them... :/ Edit5: People are just reading the title of the post and comment... :/ so i just changed the FREE to DON'T NEED TO PAY MORE.

  • I'm assuming that when Bungie started work on Destiny, they bit off way more than they could chew. The original game had to be cut up into pieces to stretch the game even more (aside from probably the raids and a select few missions, which were made from scratch), and it only got worst as time progressed. By the time they started working on TTK, Bungie realized they didn't have enough time to create content to last throughout Destiny's lifetime, so they made the whole 320 light with terrible drops BS. Time gated content and all that good stuff to stretch Destiny as thin as it could go. Annnnd now, they're probably stuck trying to future proof Destiny. But to do that, they need this drought to catch up on future DLC. They probably planned to keep doing micro transaction based events throughout the entire year, but fans a didn't want any of that, so they're probably going to cut some content out of the sequel to put out for summer and release this spring update bringing back old content. Seeing as Activision had to bring in another company to help with development, this theory is at least plausible. So they're probably simulateously working on this upcoming spring update, summer DLC and Destiny 2 at the same time(maybe more), all while being overtaken by The Division and more AAA titles releasing while they're playing catch up. Either way, Bungie got themselves into this mess. And you can support Bungie and Destiny or not. Whether you think Bungie is trying their best or if you think they've become "bottom-of-the-barrel" developers, either way, everyone's opinion is correct in this situation. It all depends on how you look at the situation. You can't deny there have been a ton of mistakes made on Bungie's part. But they're only human and the video game industry can be complicated and frustrating. At the end of the day though, every decision made was Bungie's. From making a game for 4 platforms, to signing a contract with Activision and not being crystal clear with their fans. Any problem they're facing now is all their own fault and fans have a right to be pissed, or you a right to be sypathetic towards their situation. Either way, this isn't something fans should argue about with each other. I think it's easy to see both sides of the argument.
