That's a crappy interpretation (Destiny)

Essentially a big middle finger to all those who didn't buy TDB. Love it.

Having this week's Xur visit be DLC focused makes perfect sense, as this week's nightfall and weekly are tied to the DLC.

You do the weekly so you can earn strange coins, which you then (ideally) spend later in the week with Xur.

If you can't do the weekly, you can't earn coins, so you couldn't buy anything anyway. (Got a bunch of coins saved up? Well you'll be saving them for one more week. Oh no!)

If Bungie really wanted to give a big "fuck you" to non-dlc owners, it would be like this every week.

But it's not.

It rotates.

It makes sense.

They have to promote their DLC\content, otherwise the people that did buy it would be pissed that it has no impact on the game.

I din't have the DLC until Christmas break, and I wasn't mad the weeks I couldn't do the weekly stuff. Just like when Halo launched new maps- there was a hopper for the DLC and non-dlc stuff. The most popular playlists require all the content. It's not a brand new concept.

In the future it's probably going to look like this every month:

Week 1: Dark below Weekly\Crucible\xur
Week 2: Vanilla content
Week 3: House of Wolves Weekly\Crucible\xur
Week 4: Vanilla content

So non-DLC owners should get used to it or buy the expansion- this should be expected for a "living" game.

But it's hardly Bungie giving the finger to it's players.

That's a stupid™ interpretation.
