And for the first time in a long time... (Destiny)

I say we stop waving that equality word around like it's some sort of constitutional right for everybody to have something like a red stripe on our scooter in the video game. Is the game or DLC or whatever still worth the price you're paying? If not, don't buy it. New customer discounts and perks have existed since forever.

Timed-exclusive content has existed for a while now, while the price of games on each platform have remained about the same. Caveat emptor. If this content weren't effective in influencing buying decisions, it wouldn't exist. Bungie is the business of making games. Those games have to sell for them to continue to do this. This is one way games are sold. Wail on Bungie all you want, but this is the business they're in.

What else bugs me is that we know next to nothing about the nature of the content in question, which could be shoulder pads, insignias, or guns that are no better than any gun included in every version sold and yet so many are screaming like somebody took their blankie. They don't even know what the blankie looks like.

Bah.

Kermit and Korny's two old souls were in perfect harmony...
