Punishing Digital Downloaders
So I've wasted 3 hours today trying to get an answer. Come on Bungie, please don't point fingers as Microsoft and Activision both did. Last I checked the USA had multiple time zones, I happen to be in Central time (poor folks on the east coast). The digital download for Destiny states that It wont be playable (when launched it sends you to the MS store) until midnight Pacific time. So why do I have to wait an additional two hours before my digital purchase is playable. Seems like a SNAFU to me, very upset at all parties involved, MS, Activision, and Bungie. Oh and why does China (who just got access to Xbox One) get to play a day before the USA does!!! Come on Bungie, get your act together, you are hurting your core audience and causing resentment!

15 RepliesThe reason for this is because both the Playstation Store and Xbox Live Marketplace are based on the west coast of North America, which is UTC-7. Because this is the retailer you purchased your copy of Destiny from, and this retailer is situated in the PST time zone, you must wait until it becomes 12:00 AM on the west coast of North America before you may start playing Destiny.
