Lady Efrideet's "Family"? Also probably a shitpost. (Destiny)

Bungie needs to stop with the stupid expansions and their horrible implementations and just make Destiny a $5/month subscription game. It would be more money for them and everyone would always be able to access everything (as long on they're on a PS4). They could then just push content as it was ready (let's be honest, that's basically what they're already doing now) and they could shift their full design team to the Live game rather than splitting efforts between Des2ny and DesMicroTransUniversetiny.

I see problems with this. Good content takes a long time to develop. This means for good content, that hits critical mass, will be released infrequently. If that's the case paying monthly is pointless and you might as well sell them as expansions.

If you do get content every month, it will be small, insubstantial, and not hit that critical mass. Then why would it be worth paying for?

MMOs suck. All of them. Destiny can be a kick ass FPSRPG (or RPGFPS). Anything moving Destiny closer to the MMO model will not help the quality of the game.

I just wholly disagree that good content can't be designed with a steady revenue stream. You build some small events to trickle out and then occasionally drop something huge on your audience and they all freak out.

It doesn't have to do with the revenue stream. It has to do with the frequency of content release. If you paid 5 bucks a month but only got a Taken King every year and nothing else, I'd sign up.

You do realize that you get more than that for less right now right?
