Depreciation (Destiny)

by Avateur , Thursday, June 25, 2015, 23:00 (3524 days ago) @ Durandal

I agree with this. The issue to many is that the prices, when compared to one another, seem completely outlandish. Just looking at the recent change alone, $20 for digital content when compared to $20 for an expansion can be mindboggling. Three shaders, three dance moves, and three XP boosts somehow is equal in price to Dark Below or House of Wolves. Or worth half of Taken King. Or worth one-third of the actual base game (which included four emotes per character type and a ton of shaders). I'd say that Activision has brought these reactions upon itself based on their whack pricing schemes, and I don't think it's surprising that people are taking issue with it all.
