Content Vault... Looking back is absolutely scummy.
What is the general consensus with the content Vault Now? At the time it seems the majority of the player base was not happy about it but understood it to a certain extent, I was one one.
But now, it's clear that nearly everyone (what's left anyways) feels it was unjustified to remove so much content. Especially main campaigns and most destinations.
Shouldn't it be considered at least to be somewhat... illegal? I mean we paid good money for that content, especially for the stories. Which was then removed, we paid for something. Then they took it back... I would like to go back and replay the old campaigns but of course I can't.
For example, you buy a story game, let's say Soma. You play the story once, then Frictional games take the game back and you can't play it ever again and they keep your money even though you paid for the game to KEEP said game.
My point is to this- Where is all the blowback?
Yes there are some but not a lot, do people just not care that there were so -blam!- robbed?
Hundreds, [b] HUNDREDS [/b] of dollars stolen per person. And they got away with it, somehow.
What's the point of buying Final Shape if they can just remove it with no consequence.

Bungie can't even claim it helped with updating and maintaining the game when the game has been buggier than ever and downtime for even minor hotfixes went from 15 minutes to 2 hours.

Any other "technical limitation" was more so due to laziness and cutting corners of updating older content to newer versions of their engine.

At the moment its not illegal for Bungie to do, it has however been to their detriment in the long run. [quote]My point is to this- Where is all the blowback?[/quote] There is no blowback because the players became apathetic and left. Bungie is desperately grasping at monetisation because they burn through cash so fast and they are hedging their bets on TFS and Marathon. [quote]What's the point of buying Final Shape if they can just remove it with no consequence.[/quote] They have stated they will no longer remove expansion content but this just feeds more into the lie that was the DCV. Game gets to big so they cut a lot of content but suddenly with Lightfall they are no longer doing that so how did they solve the issue of "the game getting too big"? Its pretty obvious the writing on the wall that they are very likely not doing anymore expansions after TFS.
