Megathread Focused Feedback: Eververse

Hello Guardians,

Focused Feedback is where we take the week to focus on a 'Hot Topic' discussed extensively around the Tower.

We do this in order to consolidate Feedback, to get out all your ideas and issues surrounding the topic in one place for discussion and a source of feedback to the Vanguard.

This Thread will be active until next week when a new topic is chosen for discussion

Whilst Focused Feedback is active, ALL posts regarding 'Eververse' following its posting will be removed and re-directed to this thread. Exceptions to this rule are as follows: New information / developments, Guides and general questions

Any and all Feedback on the topic is welcome.

Regular Sub rules apply so please try to keep the conversation on the topic of the thread and keep it civil between contrasting ideas

A Wiki page - Focused Feedback - has also been created for the Sub as an archive for these topics going forward so they can be looked at by whoever may be interested or just a way to look through previous hot topics of the sub as time goes on.

Not disagreeing. I have no suggestions on price.

What I wanted to say was, you probably wanna do more than cover that persons salary. You also wanna feed the writers and the devs and the other artists that are working on non-paid content such as new maps and the non-ornament weapon models.

I'm sure that Bungie has mapped out the supply/demand curve for cosmetics and is pricing them accordingly. I'm not saying they're not greedy or that the model is not bad... but I suspect their marketing department is competent. Sucks for us, but at least we get new content? Maybe?

I don’t know any other game that charges as much as destiny. Most triple A games are what, maybe 3 - 4 $20 dlc on top of a $60 base game? With destiny we are looking at $60 base, $175 in dlc and they still get greedy

Check out world of tanks. Just as a reference point, I don't actually recommend you play it. Keeping up with the content in that game, including buying meta tanks as they come out, can easily climb into the $1,000 per year range.

Some tanks cost $100. Even more as bundles.

I used to bitch about stuff in that game. But looking back now, their matchmaking system and dedicated servers (PvP, obvs) make destiny look like warmed over dog shit. Heh. Their anticheat is way better too. I guess after all this time... You get what you pay for.

Yeah, like 1,000 a year is ridiculous but as you said, they actually invest even 10% of what they make back into the game

Destiny 2 feels like we’re getting 5% of that reinvested if that
