lol Free game needs funding, Dont like it? dont buy it...no one is forcing you to buy anything, its ok anyways like Fortnite sum random kids will just steal their parents credit cards to buy silver get stocked on nice gear and than proceed to get kicked out of raids for squeaking the entire time...so see Bungie still as reliable funds :D
all free to play games follow this model.

???? There was $12 emotes even when the game wasn't free to play. Don't try to defend this shit with the free to play argument.
-
But its not free to play.
-
😂 this shit isn’t F2P. You have to buy any dlc going forward. You’re a complete schmuck.
-
D2 isn't "free to play" in any traditional sense. They already sold the "free" stuff to anyone willing to buy. Its closer to an oversized demo they hope will entice you in far enough for the addiction to take hold so they can milk you for the new content and maybe mtx. Its a fairly smart strategy and god knows the world has plenty of idiots to fleece.

Edited by Dullahan: 10/15/2019 5:52:06 PMNot only that, but since Eververse in Destiny 1 the money from those transactions has gone directly back into the game. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Edit: Haha! somebody downvoted me for stating a fact

Cool. As soon as they refund every day 1 player's $150-$170 dollars paid for the game and its DLCs, then they can operate like a free to play game.

You are so stupid 🤦🏻♂️
-
I'm sorry you don't understand the difference between free to play and a premium priced game. No need to project your intelligence issues onto me though.
-
this is where you guys get stuck on stupid. it matters not if you've spent on the game, the company is offering an optional product for sale. that's what business do, sell things. you are free to choose to buy or not, it's all useless anyhow.
-
True. Free to play games still have to pay server costs; just because it (or part of it) is free to play doesn't mean that it's free to host/run for the creators.
-
I think that instead of saying free to play game you should be saying free to play game with very little content until you start buying the dlcs. It better reflects how the game actually is and bungie probably doesn’t “need funding” as they’re still selling dlcs and aren’t exactly a small indie game company.
-
Server costs aren't a one-and-done thing, though; it's a constant and substantial amount of money to keep servers suitable for this purpose going.
-
Then why not make it a warframe type situation, with free content and where spending money is strictly optional? Warframe has been around longer than the entire destiny franchise and they’re still going strong.
-
Because that's not a business model that a lot of American-based companies can typically survive on. Further, their business and development model is drastically different. Also, Warframe has been free to play since it became known as "Warframe" rather than having been a paid game with expansions like that of WoW and the like. ESO, iirc, was free to play before it changed to the purchse model. Warframe also lets you buy weapons, armor, mods, etc outright rather than play through for them, which means FAR more potentials for revenue. Would you rather be able to buy exotics from the get-go; make it Pay-to-Win?
