I also like dinner at Olive Garden (Destiny)

by Monochron, Wednesday, June 24, 2015, 14:13 (3247 days ago) @ iconicbanana

But if I was required to buy dinner at Olive Garden in order to unlock functionality in a new program I downloaded . . . I would be incredibly confused. This segmentation of the product that Bungie/Activision is selling (and requiring payment for each segment) is getting ridiculous.

What is so terrible about the model where you pay for some DLC outright, and that's it. Why do I have to jump through an additional hoop to get a new mission? I'm sure Activision is making more money this way, or building stronger bonds with their partners, but they are also alienating their consumers. And the lack of a straight forward way to consume their product is getting mind boggling.
