Destiny’s upcoming Taken King DLC is quickly becoming a PR disaster for Bungie who, considering their recent interview with Eurogamer, aren’t doing a whole lot to fix the situation. If you haven’t been following the situation, the Destiny community is up in arms over how Bungie plans to monetize the upcoming expansion. Taken King will cost $40 at its base price, twice as much as the previous two dlc packs, with higher tiers available with extra bonuses. Bungie has defended this by saying that the amount of content in Taken King surpasses all of it.
What has players angry is a perception of tone deafness in the various tiers of the Taken King packages. The $60 pack acts as something of a Game of the Year edition, including the base game, expansions, and Taken King. For $80, you can get a collectors edition with all of the above plus a handful of physical and digital goodies. The digital collectors edition costs the same as the physical version, despite containing much less content. There is no way to get the bonus goodies in Taken King without being forced to buy the base game and two expansions again.
Eurogamer recently conducted an interview with Bungie creative director Luke Smith, and rather than do a disservice to his responses, I highly recommend that you read it.
