Caboose The Ace Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) Before this came out, it was thought that Destiny would be subscription based. In the long run, a $60 selling point didn't seem like it would cut it for Bungie making any profit, based on what appears to be such an incredible scope to the game. So to counter that and help make Bungie a profit, it was thought that the game might go to a subscription based service, similar to WoW or other MMORPG's. It would be easy enough, but eventually it was announced the game is not subscription based, YIPPEE! Although, another way to make a profit is the microtransaction, trading money for power. So, would you be happy with that, because a person with a lot of money is most likely going to be more powerful than someone without Edited February 26, 2013 by Caboose the Ace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperIntendant Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Quick question, how is 'How would you feel about micro-transactions in the game?' a yes or no question? How do you feel about the Oscars SI? yes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperIntendant Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Well, now that it is possible to read, no, it wouldn't make sense to have micro-transactions. Micro-transactions are used by free to play games as a way to make money by selling side grade items and xp bonuses. Also, what you are referring to is called 'pay to win' and it doesn't normally work because it makes a large percentage of the player base stop playing the game because without spending more of their own money they can't compete. The only thing I see them having along those lines is maybe the ability to purchase cosmetics, but even that wouldn't work correctly because of the xbox 360s horrendous point package system.

LiQuid BioniX Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Microtransactions in sixty-dollar games are gross, plain and simple. Mass Effect 3 was ok, because you were all working on the same team and it only BENEFITTED players, you were never dominating other players. I still didn't like it, but I accepted it. Dead Space 3 was kinda gross. You could pay to get more resources in addition to having to pay for extra bots and to decrease the time it took to find resources and such. On that same level, it's a single-player (or co-op) game, so it's not a huge deal. If someone wants to buy their way through the game and ruin their experience, go for it. But the moment you can pay for BETTER equipment and more powerful weapons in order to DOMINATE other people, it's too much. I really hope that Bungie isn't the company who royally screws this up.

Caboose The Ace Posted February 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 (edited) yeh agreed with some of youre points but the problem is destinty seems to be big in scope so is 60 dollers gonna cut it NO Edited February 27, 2013 by Caboose the Ace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboose The Ace Posted March 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 to add on this the only reason it is not it most likley becase at least for xbox becase we already pay 5 dollers towards it so it world be unffair if we have to pay 10 5 for xbl and 5 for destiny but then agin it is a shared world shooter not a mmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
