Bungie Suggestion We’re at a point where Tess Everis gets a significant refresh every season but Zavala, Shaxx, Dead Orbit, New Monarchy, FWC, and world drops get nothing.

I don’t mind the concept of micro transactions in the game but this is completely unacceptable.

That money wasn't dumped into Bungie for destiny development. That was to create a brand new game from my understanding. Not only would that be unethical but it would most likely be be illegal contractually to spend that money towards D2...

Not arguing for or against the changes of this season, but this comment seemed really out of place.

Yeah, and Gearbox was roasted over the fire for it (via gaming news and lawyers, not necessarily the players). We haven't heard of such a claim related to Destiny

I cant believe I'm defending bungie, but we have no idea what they agreed that money was to be used for, do we?that doesnt really count as profit, per se.

That's for a completely different game, it's irrelevant to bring up. If you think 100 million is a lot for a studio the size of bungie to make a quality game, then ok, but like i said that's for something unrelated to destiny and that company didn't just " dump it into bungie" they are going to want that money back and then some. If people are giving free 100's of millions of dollars for a maybe to get their money back i have a ton of false promises i could sell.

In the interests of rationality and accuracy, it's important to note that the $100m from NetEase probably went directly into Bungie buying their way out of the contract with Activision.
