Welp, They Finally Broke Our Bud Datto Media

He's so right. There's a suit at Bungo that got paid for this decision. More concerned with the next few months of $$ than the next few years of players.

I don't blame him, why the hell is it even called "starter pack"? it will confuse new players even more.

I swear bungie is digging their own grave.

Honestly if the starter pack included things like Shadow Keep, Beyond Light, the forsaken pack and witch queen I dont think it be that bad of a deal.

It does give Sleeper immediately which is a good dps exotic and help carry new players through content. It also may allow them to jump into a dungeon or two if they wanted.

I still think Bungie needs to make Forsaken Pack and Shadow Keep free. It’s been a long enough and it gives new players a starting point with the story for free.

If it came with shadow keep, beyond light, and maybe which queen, along with a hand full of exotic and materials, then fine, it is a starter pack as you need the expansions to play

I find it funny people focus so much on expansions when I've literally seen other games with similar things do the same thing and it's literally just a jumpstart/headstart set of in game shit to help new players springboard forward in game and has fuck all to do with expansions.

This whole thing is idiot soup right now with people arguing about their preconceived ideas about what's a "starter pack" like when people argued about what an expansion is for a game even though it's a dumb game of semantics.
