So with Destiny's DLC being released today Bungie decided that only people with DLC can play Weekly and Nightfall strikes. Bungie has also removed any loot (engrams) from the Strike playlist for Non DLC owners.

So it you don't own bend over and give Bungie $15 then you are stuck with a game in which you can not even level up your character.

Then don't play the game and continue supporting them.

How sad to see Bungie fall so far. It's like Activision has taken them over completely.

There are no words for this greedy move.

An people are actually surprised?

Did they do that purposefully, or is it a bug? It is difficult to believe...

fuck destiny man, im just here playing battlefield

Think how sad it is, Jason Jones emerged from a 10 year period of silence to endorse the shit out of this game...

That wasn't the same game

And there's the typical dick suckers that are defending Bungie for this. After all it's your fault for not buying the cut content. 

Well saw that coming. Kinda. I thought they would at least use lube this time.

Gonna be that guy and say I don't really care.

We all knew the model Destiny was using; instead of a subscription fee you'd be expected to purchase periodic DLC in order to keep up. It's zero surprise at all that part of that paid DLC includes incentives to those that haven't picked it up yet to do so.

I also think game devs are stuck in a corner in terms of pricing: they can't charge more than $60 for the base game, so they find other ways through DLC and subsequently season passes. Was content cut from the base game? Perhaps. Probably, actually. I would've done it. Recognizing the model that Destiny is, and always was going to be, with the understanding that the game itself is unquestionably worth that initial $60 in terms of sheer amount of time spent and the amount of content and support (bitch all you want, but Destiny is fun and has tons of shit to do, regardless of how repetitive it feels at times).

You know who else does this in the economy? Fucking everybody. Car manufacturers withhold luxury features that they no doubt feel are integral to the line; 3D movies cost more; DVD's that include bonus footage or commentaries typically cost more; the list goes on.

Sure, it sucks if you're 13 and $60 is a month or more of allowance. Buying luxury shit like video games sucks when you're 13. Maybe it sucks if you work minimum wage and any new game is 8 hours, a full shift, of pay. Personally, I don't think it's unreasonable for Bungie (or Activision, since they dumped so much money into the franchise) to try to eventually get double the price of the base game for constant support and new content.
