Through the Destiny 2 village, the next aggro-sow is just driven. This time, the pricing policies of the developers of Bungie attracts the displeasure of the players. The creators of Destiny 2 decided on the two dungeons that appear with the witch king: players will only automatically access the dungeons when they have bought the Digital Deluxe Edition of Destiny 2. Owners of the passports of season 5 or the standard edition can buy an upgrade for the dungeons.
To explain: With dungeons are not meant strikes, but the partially substantially challenging instanced content, which is usually related to the publication of a new exotic weapon. Even after the end of a season, dungeons such as prophecy, omen or sign are still a good source of peak loot or help to increase the powerlevel beyond the softcap.
Anger
That for the dungeons something must be paid extra, that was already at the announcement of the Witchenkenigin purchase versions . But most fans of the Loot Shooter has become aware of this circumstance when community manager COZMO explained clearly at Reddit, as it works with the upcoming extension.
Cozmos Message: Hello together. We have seen some discussions about the new dungeon content and wanted to clarify how you will be delivered next year. If you buy the Digital Deluxe Edition of the witchen king, you will receive the extension, you will receive the extension All four seasons for the next year and the two dungeons. If you buy the standard edition, you can still upgrade to the Deluxe Edition to get the dungeons later. We will also offer a separate opportunity in the future, the dungeons purchase, but they will not be included in the Season Passes. We will announce further information as soon as this content is available.
The message was not recorded very well by the Destiny 2 community on Reddit. From rip-off is the speech and that bungie would become more and more greedy. A (quite) authorized concern is that it is not yet foreseeable when the dungeons are then plugged into the content-safe and are no longer playable. Too great is the fear of paying for content that will disappear very quickly - but that this is probably less the case with brand new content, is clear, right? Prophecy has been in the game for over 1.5 years ...
Cozmos Message was then just on October 19, 2021 when he posted them on the day on Reddit s most downgoat s contribution. So.
But why the panic?
I can not understand the drama from my perspective. But I also recently ordered the Digital Deluxe Edition including 30-year bungie party package. 100 euros the fun costs me. And I am willing to spend a game for a game that to give me a lot of game fun hours over the year, once a year 100 euros. Not only because I have the developers one for their work - please let us be very honest - to send middle obolus.
No, because I think that the pricing policy is broken in the game industry, which has not developed into progress since decades. The development of AAA games is becoming more and more expensive, goes into the millions. For the game itself, but I still pay a very similar price as in the 90s.
The price of game vs the price for the playing time
Painted indie games are thrown on the market for 20 or 30 euros, extensions for 40 to 50 euros, new games for 80 to 100 euros. Feeling three minutes later, the first sale starts with new releases, where the newly published game is already offered cheaper. 100 euros, yes, that s a lot of money. But for 100+ hours of fun I pay the money. If a euro per game hour would be a euro per playing hour and believe me, I will invest more time. That s a very, very decent value for money, do not you mean?
And then I have people again in my circle of acquaintances, the stuck 50 and more hours in Valheim or Tribes of Midgard, games, which are sometimes still in the early access status. And these people say then the game would not offer you enough. The money would be thrown out. uh, please?!
I think many players would have to keep in mind how much time they effectively spend with a game. That s often more than you previously thought. And then only you should put the playing time in relation with the price of the game. Then the 100 Euro package for Destiny 2 (Buy Now € 8.95) with all contents for a whole year namely somehow ... not so expensive. For this I get an extension with new content, every three months a new season with small new content and I do not even pay for a subscription. Sorry, but that s more than what I currently get in WoW ...
PS: Immediately I pay for a PSPLUS subscription, but I could also play Destiny 2 on the PC and there is this fee away. So that does not count.
