Edited by boff: 10/29/2014 2:48:38 PMa year is a bit excessive, that is true, its annoying that any console uses this tactic, because the only people that lose out are the gamers. And in my experience, its never been a factor in choosing which console to buy, ive never thought about getting an xbox because they get cod dlc quicker, so whats the point.

Let's boycott PS and XBX. And go to.... The Wii? Naa we have no choice but to put up with this stuff and there is nothing we can do about it so no point in worrying about it. It will continue to happen and the console war is stupid. Everyone enjoy the game or don't play it. I have XBX 1 and it doesn't bother me because id rather lose out on a little content than buy a PS over an XBX nothing wrong with PS just my preference and it will take a lot to change that.

I think xbox1 wanted to be completely digital too, no disks. It was a move to shaft the gamers and make more money, by completely eliminating used game sales. if you guys didnt speak up, this would of been your reality.....or, a ps4...i would of bought a ps4 just on the cheek of microsoft to even try thatt bull

I recall that and I recall that being an important impact on my console choice between xbone and ps4 and at that time I was in the direction of buying ps4 then they changed their stance and the whole digital downloading for games was no longer an issue but what they were doing is a way bigger deal than me not getting a strike or two or getting them later. That doesn't bother me. Not being able to get no mans sky bothered me a lot but I didn't consider buying a ps4 even though halo was the sole reason I bought an Xbox back in the day. Either I play halo or no mans sky. I get to play destiny either way. So I don't get some content what I do get is a console that signs me in every time I sit down on the couch via facial recognition... And still love it

yeah thats cool, but my point was speaking up can help. accepting things for what they are is not always best.

Yea and you are right and it is a very good point but people that are screaming that Bungie hates the Xbox community and saying all this is is a Middle finger to Xbox that is irrational. Bungie is made up of gamers just like a mechanic shop is made up of individuals that love cars. Some third party came along and said "hey I heard you want to make this game, I'll give you money to do it, but you have to do this this and this" and Bungie was like oh well that's gonna suck for john and Fred cause they have x box. And the third party was like "oh well I guess me and all this money will just go home then". And Bungie wanted to make this game so they signed a contract like everyone else and they have to stick to it even though it hurts some people it was either that or nothing. Now yes people voicing their opinion is a great thing and can bring about change but my point in all this is that bungie's hands are prbly tied on the issue whether they like it or not and they can't come out and blame it on the third party cause that will piss them off and they have all the money. Now they could try to go to this third party but the third party is prbly a guy in a big office who is a business man and doesn't give a crap about the gamer. The whole thing with Xbox changing the one after public out cry was an in house decision. No contract no third party just Microsoft and their product. So they could change what they want when they want all I'm trying to say is that it might not be that simple for Bungie. Therefor not that simple for the community as well, But that doesn't de-value your point change is in the voice of the outspoken and that is absolutely true. (And also we know know who third party is)

I feel the same way about it. Never heard anyone pick a console over that either, because most people are just mad at the other company for buying the (timed) exclusive.
