The Case of the Vanishing Exotics
Thagomizers. Astrocyte Verse. Et cetera.
You know what I'm talking about.
Bungie's own promotional material for The Taken King showed Guardians wearing some spiffy-looking armor. Resourceful players were able to identify those exotic armors, using the armory on Bungie's own website. And the time-gated wait began.
Then, something mysterious happened. The 'April Update', presumably the last significant update before the next paid dlc in the Fall, dropped. Were the last of the time-gated exotics added to the loot pool? Quite the opposite.
They were removed from the armory.
Shrewd move, Bungie. Shrewd move.
We can't call this 'false advertising', because Bungie never explicitly named those exotics with the promise that they'd become available. What we can call it, what it [i]is[/i], is [b][u]unethical[/u][/b].
What do you have to say about this, Bungie? Do you really think that silence is the best answer to accusations of unethical practices?

However, money doesn't run linear like Sony's money has now run out therefore no more exclusives. That is why there is a contract.[/quote] We got scammed end of story...
