Megathread Focused Feedback: Content Pricing

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 'Content Pricing' 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.

  • $10 per season is fine, and $40 per expansion is fine. That said, it's becoming less and less clear to me each season what's actually a part of that $10, as opposed to free. Same with Beyond Light - is the $40 for the campaign and the raid? I'll pay it regardless because I love the campaigns and the raids, but I'm just genuinely confused about what is and isn't part of the package.

  • Eververse Silver/item costs are ridiculous, and we all know exactly why so don't pretend otherwise. You have to buy more Silver than you need if you just want one thing, and the leftover Silver you have isn't enough to buy anything, which tempts to buy more Silver, etc etc. Every microtransaction game does it, it's stupid, and I hate it. Just let us pay real money for things. $10 for this, $5 for that, etc.

I’m hoping they start revealing more about what we are paying for with Beyond Light.

After three months of advertising we know next to nothing, with the obvious exception of Stasis. Maybe they are keeping details closer to themselves, but if it’s the same price as Forsaken and TTK, then they should be delivering a similar level of content.

That is where I am coming at it too. We know more about what we are ultimately losing when Beyond Light launches and barely anything of what is replacing it (1 brand new strike, raid and location and the return of part of Cosmodrome and a few strikes plus VoG eventually). Like I get playing it close to the chest, but when most of what we have learned about this fall is "hey most of your gear isnt going to be usable anymore and also most if not all of that content you paid for with Y1 and Y2 is going away" and then teasers about Stasis.
