Trying to look at the bright side... (Destiny)

I'm confused as to why this whole thread is accepting the above notion as a truth based on one vague response in an article that doesn't really answer the question...

It's logic and common sense dude.

Deej was asked 3 times in a PS Experience video about paid DLC, and every time he deflected. If paid DLC is in the pipeline, it's trivial to say "yes, but that's down the line our focus is events right now". No affirmation at all. Because it is either not happening, or uncertain. Both scenarios are not outcomes I hope for.

Or a multitude of other reasons, because you don't really know anything specific about their plans.

"Rather than doing these giant, monolithic DLC packs, this way everybody who's an owner of Taken King can enjoy these things."

That's a quote. Do they not realize Taken King was so good because it was a monolithic content drop?

Yes, that's one short quote from one person during a press interview. I really have no idea what their specific plans are from that. Perhaps we'll get smaller DLC that has great content but drops more often. To me, Taken King wasn't good because it was monolithic, but because what was there was of high quality. If they keep up up that quality and spread it out rather than in dense pockets, that seems fine to me.

Also, do you seriously think that SRL is going to compete with any of the dedicated racing games available? That's delusional. It's going to be a mini game.

As I tried to say before, the flavor and universe of the mini game is a part of the game. I loved a PS1 Speed Racer game as a kid - not because the racing was the greatest, but because I got to be Speed Racer! A mediocre Star Wars flight sim was better than a more realistic flight sim because I got be Wedge Antilles! I like Destiny's universe, so I like the idea of racing in it, even if its not as good as some other racing-only game. And the idea that other things are happening in the game world other than just shooting aliens enriches the entire game for me.

But you've condescended my logic, common sense, and called my notions delusional in this post, so I'll take that as my cue to leave.
