On its blog today, Destiny 2 creator Bungie announced a price increase for its standalone season passes, which grant players access to limited-time activities and story content every three months.
Arguably the biggest complaint with Destiny 2's seasonal approach is a concept referred to as a Time Gate. - IS
RPGs like Borderlands, Destiny 2, and Elden Ring all become much more enriching experiences with the inclusion of buildcrafting.
Destiny 2 cheat maker Aimjunkies is seeking a new trial against Bungie claiming the studio never actually checked their cheat's source code.
It amazes me how they don't see what they're doing as completely wrong regardless of source code not being copied.
I'd love to see them brought up on destruction of property charges... for each and every player affected by their cheats.
And the arrogance to just act like they're not doing anything wrong is insane.
just because something is wrong doesn't make it illegal. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I agree with the cheat maker, but if what they are doing isn't "illegal" then the courts may have gotten it wrong. Furthermore, if it is not illegal then good old Government needs to implement laws to protect software companies from exploiters such as this. Again, being wrong isn't necessarily illegal and legality is all that matters in a court of law, or at least it used to.
I get what you're saying. There should be laws against that especially I'm spending money in the interest of fair play and the mechanics are being manipulated by an outside source.
What do you mean?
They made something that gamers download it makes game experience better.
I'm sure it does. It might make it fun for you but it doesn't make you better. At the same time, it's not fun for those that actually try to be good at the game. I bet you pirate Switch games. 🤡
Bungie is HORRIBLE when it comes to DLC practices. They screwed people over locking previously accessible content in Destiny 1. They did it again in Destiny 2. Now they're pulling even more BS once again. It's a damn shame, because Destiny is one of my favorite shooters ever. But I refuse to play it anymore thanks to how they treat their fans. I was hoping the Sony buyout would have changed this. That doesn't appear to be the case though...
You can't directly buy season passes with money but with the game's currency silver & they've increased the price to 1200 & you (obviously) can't directly buy 1200 silver, fascinating approach to greed.
Before It was due to Activision/greed so Is this approach the Sony version or Bungie?
Just going to C/P what someone said regarding this on Reddit, Currency distancing.
"Using this virtual currency has a few major effects, In the short term, you can boost revenue by making the increments players can buy your currency in bigger than most things they’ll want to buy. For example, sell 500 silver as the minimum but make the popular items cost 300 or 700 silver. While this is common practice, designers must be cautious or players will feel exploited and you’ll get a lot of bad press."
"Second, it makes players feel like they haven’t spent money at all. If you see fake currency going down every time you buy something from Eververse, you don’t feel the pain of losing real money because there’s an extra step involved. This is key to retention because players will drop the game once they start feeling bad about their spending habits."
In my opinion, Gaming companies should NOT be allowed to have this form of currency exchange on their games, give me the exact cost. Getting really tired of the amount of mental gymnastics companies pull on the consumer with this psychology bullshit. "Bungie Used Behavioral Psychology to Make Destiny Appealing" Disgusting.
Remember that they are now owned by Sony. So Sony approved and/or pushed for this.
Two passes went up by 2 dollars. Keep that in mind when reading the comments talking about Sony's unhinged greed...
Sure sounds like something Sony would approve despite bungie bring "independent"
I stopped playing after the witch queen. Never going back.
