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.
So this is pretty solid proof that Bungie is entirely disconnected from their fanbase. For fans that have played from the start, and want all current content, they're expected to have paid a total of $180 + tax ($60 base, $20x2 DLC, $80 collector's edition expansion). And if you're British, convert that shit to pounds while you cry into your tea and biscuits.
Bungie made it easy on them and just made everything cost more over there, so that it would be the same numeric figure.
