@jslack: Yeah, in this interview they're talking about GBP (£).
The expansion is releasing for $40 in the US. It's also releasing for €40 in the countries of Europe that use the Euro. And in the UK (who stayed out of the Euro), it's £40.
£40 (average price of a full new title like Witcher 3, Batman) is $63. €40 is $44. The guys in the UK are being totally shafted on the price of this DLC. The average price of a new game like Witcher 3, Batman in the Eurozone is €70 (roughly $78).
That's an absurd price to pay for what looks like less than one third of the original game. Bungie or Activision or both, whoever is setting the prices, are out of their fucking minds.
As is whoever decided to put extra content into the Ultimate Edition that people who've been around since day one and who have already met the requirements for TTK cannot get.
Every time over the last year of it's life that Bungie get called out on something shitty in their game or their practices, their defence comes across as "No no, we couldn't possibly do anything other than that. You guys are just wrong".
You already had your collectors edition Bungie. Some of them cost upwards of $150. If you're not willing to give the die hard fan who gave you $150 some fucking emotes, then you've got a really, really warped sense of how to keep customer loyalty. Or you just don't care.
