I booted up this game today for the first time since last fall when it came out and i almost immediately quit. I was eager to get my year 1 veteran rewards and icwas able to get some of it. You cant use the shader and no ghost shell cause you need the actual questline for those which require the dlc. This was the first sign of trouble. I immediately saw what they did, funny how everything i was just thinking was said in your post. I refuse to call this dlc an expansion and i will never pay for it. This game has nothing to offer at end game anyway. Youre forced onto third party websites to run any sort of content there is and thats really it. Very sickening to see this is what bungies become. And really? 40 -blam!-ing dollars? Burn in a pit bungie.
