Yeah and millions of idiots will buy it
Eurogamer: I'm not going to mention them again. I can't get them.Luke Smith: But you can if you buy the Collector's Edition.Eurogamer: I'm not going to buy the game and the two DLCs all over again.Luke Smith: Okay, but first I want to poke at you on this a little bit.Eurogamer: Poke at me?Luke Smith: You're feeling anxious because you want this exclusive content but you don't know yet how much you want it. The notion of spending this money is making you anxious, I can see it -Eurogamer: I do want them. I would buy them -Luke Smith: If I fired up a video right now and showed you the emotes you would throw money at the screen.Eurogamer: What I'm saying is that fan frustration is not because they don't understand the proposition. It comes regardless of how cool the exclusive content is. The frustration - and mine as a fan - is that the method of acquiring it requires me to re-buy content I bought a year ago.Luke Smith: [Long pause] It's about value. The player's assessment of the value of the content.
Holy shit I just read the article Luke smith is a fucking asshole
Bungie died a while ago.
It's also important to remember the temporal valuation of content. If you played during The Dark Below, you were playing when there were Swordbearers everywhere. That's now gone and you can't recapture that now. Some things are being left behind as we move forward. It's the same with House of Wolves, right now, with the Fallen showing up all over the solar system. Those things are going to be less relevant as we move forward and the Taken are everywhere.We don't have a way to go back in time and experience those things again. So the players who were there can say 'I was here when...' and 'I did it when it was new'
On a related note...Would this be a good time for a recruitment drive...?

Eurogamer: Well, yeah. I would rather do that - pay a few pounds or dollars or whatever - than spend money on things I already own.Luke Smith: [Laughs] Well, we have nothing more to talk about regarding your opportunity to spend extra money in Destiny, other than The Taken King and the three versions we've announced.
[Laughs]
Luke Smith: Rather than comment on the Bungie philosophy, here's what I'll tell you. If someone made a golf clap emote, I would spend money on that. Like when someone falls in the Vault of Glass. At the moment I bow when I'm trying to mess with them. So... I empathise with some of the things you're saying.Eurogamer: I feel like you should put some of these things that you are empathising with into practice.
