If you are upset (Gaming)

Completely fair. I think it's just my bewilderment getting the better of me that the outrage is NOW when you all were informed of this over a year ago.

On one hand, it does completely suck, but on the other, you all had been given the heads up 12 months in advance. If folks as a whole had planned and nobody pre ordered any xbox versions, the problem would have gone away.

True, it is a bit strange. But the head ups themselves have been pretty vague. Bungie's marketing for the last year or so was:" Beta beta beta beat beta..." then E3 2014 comes along and SURPRISE there's an Alpha 3/4ths of Destiny's players can't play unless they want to go out and spend an unplanned $400 within four days. I think people have been miffed about the exclusive content but they also saw it as just a thing that happens and not that big a deal. For me, at least, it was the surprise Alpha plus the already short beta being even shorter because of a behind the scenes deal I had no control of. It was that combination that got me mad now instead of before and, unfortunately, lead me to post a stupidly titled topic.

The exclusives and Alpha / Beta are kinda crappy, they're just not crappy enough to sway opinions like we saw in those other examples. I'm not much help here either though since I want a Ghost edition and to make sure I get it I need to have it preordered... :(
