Destiny 2 players slam Bungie over \u201cridiculous\u201d 30th Anniversary Pack price tag BungieAlready facing pushback from the Destiny 2 community over the decision to lock new dungeons behind the Witch Queen Deluxe Edition, Bungie is now being blasted by players over the price of the game\u2019s 30th Anniversary Pack. Destiny 2\u2019s upcoming Witch Queen expansion looks to be a major turning point for the looter-shooter franchise, introducing massive ability changes, the addition of weapon crafting, and a campaign that will strike fear into the hearts of Guardians. Before fans get their hands on the game\u2019s next major expansion, however, they still have Bungie\u2019s 30th Anniversary celebration to look forward to \u2014 an event where players can pay homage to both the legacy of the studio and its flagship title. Despite the hype surrounding the event, there is plenty of discontent swirling as well \u2014 and the community has now shared their frustration with the Anniversary Pack\u2019s price tag, which some argue is \u201cridiculous\u201d when considering the content on offer. Destiny 2 players outraged over 30th Anniversary Pack price The community\u2019s unease over the pack\u2019s price tag began to spread in the wake of another controversy: Bungie\u2019s decision to lock the Witch Queen\u2019s dungeons behind the game\u2019s Deluxe Edition, priced out at $80 USD. After players slammed the developer\u2019s response to those concerns, they turned their anger towards the game\u2019s 30th Anniversary Pack, currently scheduled to release in December at the price of $25 USD. \u201cThis is nearly the price of an entire expansion, and all you get is one dungeon, one exotic, and some items that won\u2019t have much effect on gameplay,\u201d a popular post on the Destiny 2 subreddit pointed out. \u201cEvents are always free,\u201d the poster continued, \u201c[But] now they\u2019re releasing an event with a paywall. This is less than a single season\u2019s worth of content for triple the price? How is this actually real?\u201d Fellow players were quick to agree with the post\u2019s sentiment. \u201cIt\u2019s overpriced, and I feel like there\u2019s no guarantee of how long this stuff will even be in the game,\u201d one comment read, referring the removal of previously purchased content via the Destiny Content Vault. Even individuals from outside the game\u2019s community voiced their disbelief: \u201cI don\u2019t play Destiny so I\u2019m uninformed of its pricing structure. I do know that there are plenty of excellent, feature-full games that you can get for less than $32.\u201d \u201c[This] seems extremely ridiculous from someone on the outside looking in,\u201d the comment ended. It remains to be seen how Bungie will respond to the complaints about the pack\u2019s price tag, if at all, but for now the Destiny 2 community seems to be less-than-thrilled with the offering included in the Anniversary event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
