You're right. (Destiny)

We did. Halloween. Who knew paper masks just die out after a few weeks. Oh and that bad Crucible map that came with it. I'm with Cody. Let's get some more meaty content, preferably with a story and focus on the Light for a bit. And Pikes to race with in the meantime.

Ok... Who is against you and Cody on that point? Players? No. We all want new story content. Bungie? No. It is 99.999% certain they are working on new story content and it isn't ready yet. Really, what I think it comes down to is whether or not you really believe there are multiple teams at Bungie able to work on different pieces of content concurrently or not. How much did the Festival of the Lost really slow the next paid expansion? How much did the upcoming balance tweaks really slow the next expansion? How much has the Sparrow Racing League really slowed the next expansion?

Probably not enough to be down on the release of free events and updates...

The fact that Sparrow Racing League contains Playstation exclusives, which have been limited to DLC and I expect are contractually obligated, suggests to me that this and future events like Iron Banner are somewhat being considered by Bungie to be expansions.

The Undying Mind wasn't DLC. Neither was The Dust Palace. Both came with Destiny 1.0 and were PlayStation exclusive for a year. So, you're factually incorrect to begin with. Then, every actual expansion has both been termed as such and cost money. Let's not mix definitions and confuse terms or try and second guess is and isn't an expansion. By next expansion I meant the next major paid DLC release.

I was actually trying to respond to you in good faith and express a sincere idea, but clearly I forgot who I was talking to.

Good call on saying Undying Mind and Dust Palace aren't DLC, BECAUSE THEY AREN'T AND I DIDN'T SAY THEY WERE.

My point still stands: Playstation exclusives have been exclusively paired with expansions (Crota's End, House of Wolves, Taken King), until now. I forgot to include the launch of the game in my previous post, but that's irrelevant and should be obvious. The inclusion of exclusive content with these "freebies" may indicate a change in how content is delivered for this game. The traditional paid DLC release may not resemble what it did in year 1.
