Destiny: The Taken King Should Have a "Founder's" Edition

Why do people feel entitled to a reward for playing a game? "I've been playing your game for a whole year now. I think I deserve a reward for that." How about an in game achievement telling you how great you are for spending lots of time playing a videogame?

I don't mind this game it vgood on Xbox one it only cost me two quid I won 40 quid on a scratch card boom

I don't think they care anymore, a ton of players have left this game to go play something where the developers actually try and fix glitches and not penny pinch every chance they get.

You forgot to ask for "Dedicated Server's" I have no problems with buying any expansion because I wont spend another penny until Bungie fixes their servers! ... This is worse than BF4 was when it first released.

Destiny players who have logged on before 12/30/2014 should get WAYY more extra content, gestures, shaders, sparrows, ships, and that's just cosmetics.

You should be able to differentiate a Year One player, from someone who just got the game just by looking at their armor, or maybe changing the color of their name above their head? Maybe a crown emblem or something...but the fact that there is NOTHING at all for the players, nothing for destiny fans who have grinded their way into oblivion...that's just a low blow to loyal fans.

Bungie, if you want to keep your game populated, you may want to show some damn gratitude to your community...or maybe 'gratitude' is something that bungie doesn't practice.

Anyone else think that Destiny is a AAA answer to free to play? Even with the endless grinding and weak narrative seems to be successful and makes money despite criticism. unsure if its a good or bad thing long term but hats off they've done something different.

How about a founders discount for the expansion, given all newcomers can get everything for $80, how about offering the expansion for $25 to those that bought within the first few months!

"We've been playing since day 1, so we deserve more!" I'm sorry kiddies, but that's the very definition of entitlement. If anything, they shouldn't have introduced any kind of bonus content, just the collection version for $60 and the expansion for those who only need to buy that.

If you want to buy it... buy it. If you don't... don't.

It's a free country... well it used to be anyways.

Founder's edition.....Taken King Expansion....Extra gear or weapons.....Just more ways for Bungie to get more money out of creating a game thst is fun when you play through the missions but gets so incredibly boring while playing the same strikes over and over again. Ive done the same bonties so many times ive lost count of how many similar missions ive done. Take that money and buy a game thats worth it like The Witcher 3 or wait for Fallout 4 or The Division. Destiny died a long time ago.

I bought the game day one at full price and bought the season pass that same day. With that said I honestly want this game to die so they can realize that this business model of empty promises and nickle and diming your customers should not be tolerated. Destiny has great mechanics and game play and the HoW did flesh out the story some. But the content is way to over prices for the amount of actual content you receive. I know people will say they spent 1000 game hours in the game, and so did I. That why I know I can say with confidence the content was not worth the price. Destiny lives off of repetitiveness and tedium. The only thing that makes the grind bearable is friends if you're a PVE person, and Crucible if you're a PVP person. But for days on end you do the same bounties, weeks on end you do the same Raids/Nightfalls/Weeklies and when all that is finished you grind the Vanguard play list or Crucible/Iron Banner. When is the last PVE event they had? The Queen's Wrath? And twice a month you have the same PVP events with Iron Banner and Trails of Osiris. I started playing Warframe seriously in December 2014 and experience 5 completely different events and not including the various upgrades to the game. I played many other MMOs that had way more event variety with in the same amount of time. And not just MMOs, either. Dragon Age Multiplayer has a event every weekend. Small but it adds a little something to the tedium.

Despite everything I still pop it in once in a blue moon around updates to see the changes but it may soon just get sold if us day one players are being forced to beg for our loyalty to be rewarded, or even truly acknowledged. I just keep hoping they would change their ways.

I really hope they do something more than they're offering. I feel like players that have stuck with it since the beginning should get a good discount on the inevitable 2nd season pass that will appear after The Taken King.

WOOO! You tell 'em Alex!

Who's House?! NEWHOUSE!

Why do people keep saying "we don't deserve anything", or "they don't owe us anything", THEY DO, we've spent hours on this game, helping them fix their hundred issues that some testing could have avoided, over a million hours from all players, payed for the game, the DLC, and some already for an expansion, so guess what, they sure as hell owe us something, specially since we payed for the game, that happens to be the same thing every day, PoE is now repeating bosses, with the same mechanics, so 6 weeks in and already the content is old. Stop just thinking the game is enough, if it was it would have a begging, middle and end, it doesn't, it's not over and we've invested a lot, considering there are other titles out there, cheaper and in many ways better than Destiny.Stop lying down and waiting to be stepped on, stand up already, we didn't let shit like this pass over our heads 2 decades ago, why the hell should we let it now.

"These players have kept the community alive and rabidly consumed all new content that's come to the game".

Yea because they don't give us much content to blast through lol

Sure. Why not. I like free stuff. I enjoy the game regardless, though =D

FFXIV has legacy stuff for us who played it before the Realm got Reborn. Destiny wasn't quite that bad but some continue to play it despite the trolls and haters who have sh*t on the game since it's launch. Like you said they aren't obligated to give us anything more than the game but it would be nice.

LOL, special edition for faithful players?, thats all that left is the "Faithful". Wanna feel special for sticking around for this big piece of empty scam game?, whatever.

I already pre-ordered it. :( :)

No, this game just needs to die. They've already defaulted on $100 of promised content. Bungievision will not see another penny of my gaming budget. Maybe if the Founders Edition was free I would at least look at the "improvements"... along with the HoW content I bought on pre-order and never even looked at.

No this game does not need any more "special editions."

I can't believe people are crying about this... smh

Solution: Lower the price of the Standard DLC upgrade to $30. Sell the proposed TTK's Founder's edition for $40 with a new ghost shell voiced by Mila Kunis to make up for Dinklebot & I'm sold.

Nobody is talking about the full year of content. Where is the season pass?

I was ready and willing to do $60 for the full year. It was never mentioned so I guess they want 100 per year

You want MORE editions? It should have exactly one edition, and it should cost 75% less than they're charging now. It's just DLC.

It amazes me how people value content these days, makes you realize how stupid some gamers are. Gunplay is good but lack of content will make a lot of people quit like me after 800hrs. pathetic

LOL. Given that Destiny's very design is to milk users for money, why would anyone be shocked by this, or the guy's arrogance in his statements? He's right. A good portion of their players would throw money at the screen for emotes, and he knows it.

This is the most blatant insult anyone could give, hidden in a politically correct manner, but it's an insult all the same. In this case however, the shoes fits. They should package this expansion with a pair of toy udders to keep the milking going.

Destiny. LOL. What a joke.

I guess it depends on whether you believe them when they say they're going to give founders something better; or regardless of how much better it is, you still want the other stuff. You've made this proposal without an important piece of pertinent information: what they plan to do for founders.

What a stupid article. Instead of questioning the many versions that Bungie is going to release for their next "DLC". "Alex" of GS suggest adding another version to the fold to take our money. Really. How much is Bungie paying GS!?

Disgusting.

Can the founders edition at least explain why it doesn't have time to explain?

Also, "The Taken King" should clearly be changed to "The Taken Piss", based on that interview.

What the hell happened to Bungie?!?! How can they go from making one of the greatest shooter franchises ever made down to a level of sheer arrogance that rivals EA in terms of the goal to swindle people left and right?

Heck, you could say that accounts for a majority of what they've done with Destiny from the offset; no trading so people will keep spending money on microtransactions, RNG loot that punishes rather than rewards skilled players, keeping story elements back for DLC purposes, poor value in The Dark Below expansion and now this rubbish about the collectors edition, The Taken King and its ridiculous price point.

I hate to say this, but it really does feel like Bungie doesn't care one bit about their fans anymore. And if they don't care, why should we?

a founders edition for those that find the complete story.
