Nintendo has filed a new patent for a device that many believe could be their next NX console, or at least have something to do with it. Spotted by NeoGAF, the official US patent shows a new hardware unit that looks like a game console, but is missing one very game console-like feature, a disc drive:

“The example system is not provided with an optical disc drive for reading out a program and/or data from an optical disc,” the patent reads. “An example system includes an internal hard disc drive storing a program and/or data, a communication unit transmitting/receiving a program and/or data via a network, and a processor executing a program stored in the hard disc drive to perform game processing.”

The patent also seems to show a controller that includes a display unit, much like the current Wii U gamepad.

First, the grains of salt. There is no confirmation that this device is specifically the NX, as the name is not listed in the patent. Secondly, just because Nintendo patents a type of system, that doesn’t necessarily mean that it will be the final product.

And yet, with the NX described by Nintendo as a “dedicated game platform with a brand-new concept,” this seems to fit the bill pretty well. Not that a lack of a disc drive would be the only brand-new concept, but it would certainly be a significant development all the same.

Many will remember that once upon a time, the Xbox One practically shed its disc drive, and at the very least, was planning to create a games marketplace that would make discs more or less obsolete. But violent fan pushback forced them to change the system to be more like Sony’s PS4, and both consoles now play both new and used discs exactly like the last two console generations.

While it seems likely that by the time the next console generation comes around, consumers may be more willing to let go of discs as sales of digital games continue to climb, but it is a bit odd that Nintendo could be the one leading the charge with the NX.

In this age when the 500 GB hard drives of the Xbox One and PS4 are considered “too small” for someone trying to build an entirely digital library, the original Wii U shipped with an 8 GB hard drive. Now, most models are up to 32 GB. Granted, these drives are not directly comparable, as Nintendo’s drives are not HDDs but instead use flash storage, but still. Building an entirely disc-free console would have to have a way to store an entire library of games, preferable without resorting to a collection of memory cards or external hard drives. It’s just a little difficult to imagine Nintendo going from 32 GB of flash storage to a 1TB or more drive to contain an entire collection of games. Flash or no, the fact remains that this year when I simply downloaded my Bayonetta 1/2 pack when the sequel was released, it filled the majority of my hard drive by itself.

The appearance of another screen-based controller is also perplexing. This may mean that the disc-less unit is compatible with the existing Wii U gamepad, as Nintendo loves backwards hardware compatibility, or it could be an entirely new controller. Still, the gamepad hasn’t exactly been a smash hit feature in current-gen Nintendo games to date, really only being used well in a handful. Would they really double down with another similar controller concept next time around?

Nintendo, continually refusing to share their plans for the NX until 2016, will not answer requests for comment on the system, or likely this patent either. And yet again, we find ourselves rooting through scraps of information to try and extract their future plans. A new disc-less console suggested in this patent makes a certain amount of sense, but a bit less so when you consider Nintendo’s history. Then again, maybe they can be the first tread where others haven’t dared. We’ll have to wait until 2016 to see, it seems.

Windows 10 splits opinions and it has split mine. I think Microsoft MSFT +0.43% nailed the core OS, but the policies around it are controlling and overly invasive. In short: great software, shame about the rules. And here’s another perfect example…

Now Windows 10 has launched, Microsoft is starting to fill in the blanks regarding features removed from Windows 7 and Windows 8 and it doesn’t make for pleasant reading. Why? Because behind this free upgrade are the first signs of where Microsoft will start charging users in future and it begins at the very bottom:

1. Solitaire

Yes, surprising as it might seem, Microsoft has announced it will actually charge users a monthly subscription to play Solitaire – a free staple of Windows releases since Windows 3.0 in 1990.

Having been stripped out of Windows 10, Solitare is now found in the Windows Store and it is a freemium download. This means it can be used for free, but is ad supported and in this case the ads are highly invasive with mandatory 30 second video slots playing over the screen between every game. If you want to switch that off you must pay Microsoft $1.49 per month or $9.99 per year.

The good news is for that fee you do get an upgraded game with five variations, more card designs, daily challenges and tournaments. Still you would think those upgrades would be what the premium upgrade was for, not access to the basic game.

For those with conspiracy theories about Windows 10’s long term subscription ambitions, Solitaire (of all things) will only add more fuel to the fire.

2. Windows DVD Player

Along with Solitaire, another feature removed from Windows 7 and Windows 8 was the venerable Windows Media Center. WMC was long in the tooth, but beloved by those who still used it and in conjunction with its removal from Windows 10 the lack of even a basic DVD player in the new operating system was something of a mystery.

Not anymore. Microsoft has now announced the launch of ‘Windows DVD Player’. It is no WMC replacement and its full feature list is simply:
•Plays DVDs on your PC
•Simple controls for disc navigation

Windows DVD Player also won’t play Blu-ray discs nor DVDs from file backups, it is 100% optical discs only. All of which makes it pretty limited, but this is just the start.

Microsoft states Windows DVD Player will only be “free for a limited time” but doesn’t say how long this will be. Even the player’s FAQ simply says “The timing has not been finalized yet. It will end at or before the free Windows 10 upgrade offer.” Great.

After that unspecified time Microsoft will charge a hefty $14.99 for Windows DVD Player, a ludicrous decision when far more powerful and accomplished players like VLC are free. What’s more, even if you grab Windows DVD Player for free now, you may have to pay for it later.

Digging further into the player’s FAO page, Microsoft states only upgraders from Windows 7 or Windows 8 will get it free and users who perform clean installations of Windows 10 will not. Furthermore if users ever need to reinstall Windows 10 (for example, due to problems) then Microsoft doesn’t count that as coming from Windows 7 or Windows 8 and again you lose free access to Windows DVD Player unless you first install Windows 7 or Windows 8 then upgrade to Windows 10.

Yes, this is bonkers. It also asks a bigger question: where is all this headed?

Windows As A Service

At this point it is important to state that Solitaire and Windows DVD Player alone cannot be held up as indisputable proof of an evil Microsoft master plan to trick users out of their money via a mass of tiny, expensive additions. That said both are clear indicators of how the company’s business model is evolving.

Having openly stated that ‘Windows as a service’ is the platform’s future, Microsoft is effectively taking a hit by giving Windows 10 away free on the gamble that it opens up the possibility of charging for add-ons. This can be as small as Solitaire and Windows DVD Player, but more importantly than the software in question this time (third party Solitaire apps and DVD players are everywhere) is how it sets the precedent for Microsoft to scale up to bigger features in future. Those features can be automatically pushed to users in trial form through Windows 10’s mandatory upgrades with fees to then keep them running.

In itself this business model is nothing new, but it is new for Windows users and – quite understandably – many don’t like it.

Personally my belief is Microsoft is entitled to do whatever it wants to do and earn however it wants to earn and customers will vote with their feet. The trouble is in the run up to Windows 10 Microsoft has not been transparent with users so many are not clear on what they are signing up to or from where future costs may come. Microsoft is sitting back and letting ‘Free Windows 10’ do all the selling.

And that’s true: the core Windows 10 experience IS free. But when it comes to even the simplest of extras, what is increasingly clear is users are getting what they paid for.

There’s a lot riding on the Nintendo NX, Nintendo’s upcoming “game platform,” which everybody seems to be assuming is a handheld and console hybrid (I wouldn’t be so sure—all we know for sure is that it isn’t Android-based and isn’t virtual reality–based. It’s a big mystery, and it carries on its shoulders the whole future of Nintendo… which may not be great news, since we hear the thing might be weaker than the PS4.

The Nintendo NX Really Needs To Succeed

Don’t get me wrong: Nintendo isn’t really in dire straits. The company isn’t even losing money anymore, although it did for two years in a row—the only time in the company’s century-long history it lost money at all. The Wii and the Nintendo DS were, of course, both phenomenal successes. The Nintendo 3DS was an initial failure that turned into a reasonable success. The Wii U has not done very well at all. Nintendo’s new “third pillar,” Amiibo, is the company’s highlight right now… a major success, selling millions of units every month. But the company needs a dedicated platform to support its new toy line.

For that, the Nintendo NX needs to be a hit. The company has scraped by the Wii U generation on the back of the 3DS and Amiibo, even as the Wii U has never really taken off. But ‘scraping by’ really is the phrase to use. Wii U releases have been relatively few and far between. Flagship titles haven’t been coming out nearly enough to drive strong interest in the console, aside from Super Smash Bros Wii U, which also had a Nintendo 3DS counterpart. And third party releases are totally gone at this point, besides from standard EA shovelware. There’s not much to cling to, and even with a new slew of first-party AAA titles, the console wouldn’t get new momentum at this late stage, in what would normally be mid-lifecycle.

So instead it looks like Nintendo is going to move beyond Wii U and hope to kickstart the new generation half a cycle early with the Nintendo NX. It’s a big risk,  and a lot is riding on it, probably up to and including Nintendo’s future in the hardware business. Certainly the console business is at stake. If Nintendo NX is a bust, following the Wii U… it’s hard to imagine Nintendo having the money and good will for a third stab at a dedicated console. Face it: If Nintendo NX doesn’t succeed, Nintendo as we know it will change forever. And that’s why the company is getting ready to go all in.

Windows 10 is famously ‘free’, but Microsoft has been worryingly silent about just how free it really is. Now, only three weeks before release, leaks suggest ‘free’ Windows 10 might not be a good deal at all…

The news comes from ComputerWorld which attained Microsoft internal slides that strongly suggest many Windows 10 owners will have to start paying to receive updates within two years. The key lines ComputerWorld discovered are:

“Revenue allocated is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated period the software upgrades are expected to be provided by estimated device life…. [The estimated device life] can range from two to four years.”

‘Device life’ is the key phrase here. Microsoft has already stated revenue earned from Windows 10 must be deferred because of the free upgrade model (cash isn’t taken upfront), but it repeatedly stressed Windows 10 owners can expect to get free updates for the “supported lifetime of the device”.

The problem is Microsoft hadn’t defined how long the ‘supported lifetime of the device’ will be and now we see it: “two to four years”.

A Two Year Con?

So what does “two to four years” mean? Is it two or is it four?

Again the slides help – and surprise. In a change of language Microsoft states device lifetime will be determined by “customer type” whereas it had previously stated it would be determined by “form factor”.

This is crucial. ‘Form factor’ could mean a phone where two years of support isn’t great, but survivable and similarly four years support for a tablet or PC isn’t great but it is survivable. But defining by ‘customer type’ invokes Microsoft’s two main customer licence types: Home (average consumer) and Professional (prosumer/business).

By this new definition “two to four years” would mean two years free support for Windows 10 Home users regardless of their device type and up to four years free support for Windows 10 Pro users regardless of their device type.

Two years free support on a PC is garbage. It would see Windows 10 free support expire in 2017 while Windows 7 and Windows 8 free support doesn’t expire until January 2020 and 2023 respectively.

It also opens up an even bigger question: what follows the expiry of free support?

There are several ways of looking at this. Most charitably Microsoft could release ‘Windows 10.1’ and then kickstart another two years of free support, the same again for ‘Windows 10.2’ and so on which pushes users to keep updating. It’s a nice thought, but Microsoft already has a strict threat in place for those who lag behind.

The other perspective returns us to the “deferred revenue” Microsoft says it will encounter with Windows 10.

The interesting part is Microsoft claims the money it loses from the free upgrades will be made up within three years. If there’s a free upgrade plus two years of free support (for all consumers) then the introduction of subscription based charging, this suddenly fits together and angry conspiracy theories run wild.

What To Believe

So what’s the answer?  Frustratingly, infuriatingly, mystifyingly we have no way of knowing because – even with just three weeks to go before launch – Microsoft’s controlled drip feed of Windows 10 information shows no sign of speeding up.

Yes it’s mad. Microsoft is releasing arguably the most important version of Windows in its history this month and we don’t know how long it will be supported or what future costs we will be charged after this unknown period. Instead Microsoft simply keeps shouting:

“It’s Free! It’s Free! It’s Free!*”

(*for the lifetime of the device – and we won’t define ‘lifetime’ or what happens after that)

This sucks. It sucks because there could be a perfectly good explanation but Microsoft is not being open about it.

It sucks because upgrading Windows versions is not an easy task for many users and even more of a hassle to downgrade if users find they’ve been shortchanged. And it really sucks for those who buy a new Windows 10 PC and are locked into the unknown.

But most tragically it sucks because Windows 10 is actually a great OS. Throughout my participation in the Windows Insider testers program it has been the fastest, most stable series of Windows betas I’ve used, but Microsoft may be about to hamstring the whole thing.

Promising ‘Free Windows 10′ then delivering ’Freemium-Windows-10-Get-Your-Credit-Cards-Out-In-Two-Years’ would be a disaster and right now Microsoft’s ongoing silence about how everything works feels ever more suspicious.

Ultimately the company is either playing us or its naivety is now bordering on idiotic. It’s a crazy situation to be in where we all have to hope and pray it is the latter…

With the game under wraps completely and a tiny break in my playing schedule, I decided to fire up Batman: Arkham Knigth last night specifically to play the Harley Quinn DLC. I knew it was a prequel affair that tasked Joker’s leading lady with rescuing Poison Ivy from the Blüdhaven police department. That was the extent of my knowledge.

Man, what a waste of time this thing was.

I don’t just mean a waste of the players’ time. No, it wasn’t worth my personal time for the play through or the silly trophy. That’s part of my meaning there. I also mean that this pre-order DLC was a waste of the developers’ time. Was it made by Rocksteady? I have no idea. The Batgirl: A Matter of Family DLC coming next week to Season Pass holders (and the week after for other folks) is being done by WB Montreal.

I know this: this prequel sucks. Straight up. From top to bottom, it simply isn’t fun. It feels like a half-baked idea that the team decided to scrap, until some exec figured it’d be a good thing to hand gamers for pre-ordering the game. “Here,” they say, “pre-order Batman: Arkham Knight for what essentially amounts to a halfway finished deleted scene.”

All told, Harley Quinn’s adventure took me about 20 minutes to complete. From memory, I’m counting, let’s see, five separate encounters with police officers. Those combat situations lasted around two or three minutes a piece. They were nothing more than fighting until I could unleash Harley’s mayhem mechanic. This makes her stronger, but it’s earned through play. I only earned it twice.

The fights themselves involved cops with guns, nothing at all or shields. Harley herself is poorly animated, and her walking and sneaking modes feel downright terrible. There are two “stealth” segments, all told. Harley isn’t stealth, though. Her attacks are all loud, and they draw attention. There’s also no score for fights, so there’s no reason to be quiet, fast or efficient.

Then there’s the boss fight. What a mess this is. You battle Nightwing here, which I suppose is cool. He has his sticks, except they’ve been charged with electricity. You’re only move is to jump over him and land one or two punches on his back. Repeat until his health bar dwindles down while countering the constantly respawning threesomes of police officers.

Let Poison Ivy out, enjoy the abrupt cutscene, collect your trophy or achievement and get out.

Holy crap, it’s bad.

This DLC will inevitably be sold down the line as an add-on or an extra in the Game of the Year version. Don’t make your purchase based on that. In fact, don’t let DLCs like this one stand as a reason to pre-order a game ever again.

Warner Bros. should absolutely be criticized for the amount of exclusive content it has managed to lock players out of with the launch of Batman: Arkham Knight. The good news? At least those who don’t have this Harley Quinn DLC won’t be embarrassed by its presence.

A dark and terrible tale swept the forests of the Internet today: a rumor that the Nintendo NX, the upcoming followup to the Wii U, isn’t going to be as powerful as the PS4. Our pals over at Nintendolife reported on the rumor, but they dug it up from a source who generally knows about these sorts of things. And yea, it’s a reliably sourced rumor. But that doesn’t mean it’s actually true.

The rumor about Nintendo’s latest gaming platform (as the company insists on calling it) holds that the system won’t be able to match the PS4, the current strongest system, in core specs, and it comes via a reliable Twitterer who has managed to find out such scoops in the past (including the very recent past). The fellow is promising further details down the line, but that’s all we’ll get for now, although he claims that his sources are ironclad (presumably people within Nintendo, or people who saw the Nintendo NX at E3).

And yea, this Nintendo NX rumor guy seems like he’s well-placed and has broken stories before. But that still doesn’t mean this is true, no more than the rumors about an Android backend for the system were true. It’s just too early to say. Yea, Nintendo NX specs are probably finalized by now, and yea, Nintendo has begun to show the system off to developers. But that doesn’t mean our favorite Japanese publisher is sharing the numbers all over the place, where every Tom, Dick and Twitter Writer can find them.

It’s not so much that there’s a concrete reason to disbelieve the Nintendo NX power rumors. There isn’t. But there’s no concrete reason to believe them either. It’s firmly in the question mark arena. It could be true, but it might not be. Sound specious? Maybe, but everyone on the Internet seemed to believe it, or vehemently reject it, immediately. The proper response is in the middle. Think about it carefully, ask yourself whether it makes sense for Nintendo to release an underpowered follow-up midway through the lifecycle (I’m legitimately not sure), and evaluate the rumor for yourself.

As for whether it’s actually true… it’s really hard to say. I could see Nintendo releasing a system that’s only slightly weaker than the PS4. It’ll have some kind of gimmick to get our attention, as well as a strong launch lineup. The Nintendo NX feels like Nintendo’s push to position itself in between hardware cycles. Wii U came out a year early. Nintendo NX will release midway between thePS4 an Xbox One and whatever comes next. And that might be the perfect spot for the company, where they can release stronger, better tech than at the beginning of a generation.

We shall see—Nintendo may well address the rumors, since it’s debunked other Nintendo NX rumors before. For now, bear in mind that sometimes a rumor is just a rumor.

While this is not the “Sale! Sale! Sale!” glossy section of the newspaper, it has become clear that Microsoft is running a promotion that is slipping under the radar for many, and is actually the single best deal on any new-gen console we’ve seen since their 2013 launch.

In the wake of E3, Microsoft has released both a $400 1TB Xbox One and permanently lowered the price of the 500 GB base version (now Kinect-free, of course) to $350. Pretty good, but where things really start to go nuts is with the types of bundles they’re offering.

The old bundles included either Assassin’s Creed Unity or Halo: The Master Chief Collection as part of the package, free games included with the system as often ends up happening a little while into a console’s life cycle. But now, through June 27th, Microsoft is throwing another game onto the pile. What makes it worthwhile? You get to choose it.

That means any new purchase of an Xbox One not only comes with AC or Halo: MCC, but also potentially Arkham Knight, The Witcher 3, The Elder Scrolls Online, Grand Theft Auto V, Mortal Kombat X and many more qualifying games. It isn’t the first time Microsoft has done this, but paired with existing bundles and recent price cuts, the final price is lower than it’s ever been. They’re selling a $350 console that comes with $120 worth of free games, which effectively makes the price of the base unit $230, provided you would have bought Assassin’s Creed or Halo: MCC anyway. At worst, it’s $280 for a brand new 1TB system, using the same math.

To be fair, both Unity and The Master Chief Collection were two of the biggest launch disasters of last year, but now after a series of patches, AC: Unity is working just fine. Halo: MCC still has lingering multiplayer issues which are pretty maddening, but honestly, I think that game is worth $60 for the remastered campaigns alone, so if you’re getting it essentially for free, it’s totally worthwhile.

Add in the fact that you can get any new release for free on top of that? It could be hard to pass up. I was actually made aware of this deal by a friend who has put off buying a new-gen console since launch, decided this package was finally too good to avoid. He’s picked up a One and my Destiny fireteam has expanded.

Despite fanboy accusations, I’m not trying to stump for Microsoft here, but putting this deal side by side with what Sony’s offering, it’s a stark difference. Sony also has an Arkham Knight bundle this week, but it’s $400 for a 500 GB system with the game. Effective price: $340. Their only bundle that contains two games (The Last of Us Remastered and GTA V, you don’t get to pick) is $469 with a Prime membership. A deal, but still, nothing quite on the level of how low the Xbox One is going.

The reason for the disparity is obvious. Despite relatively few big sales or price cuts, Sony is still massively outselling Microsoft. With a huge head start at launch, by last count the PS4 has sold 22.3 million units, while the Xbox One lags behind. The last official sell-through numbers are at 10 million, and Microsoft usually only communicates in “sold to retailers” figures lately, which don’t mean much.

While Microsoft has certainly surpassed that 10M total by now, they’re without a doubt still far behind the PS4. Now, they’re pulling out all the stops to try and get last-gen customers to upgrade to their system, like announcing backward compatibility at this year’s E3, and now by creating the deeply discounted bundle mentioned above.

Microsoft has a little more leeway to play around with price cuts and sales as obviously the larger corporation is enormous, where gaming is just a small piece. Sony doesn’t quite have that luxury as its larger business has struggled quite a bit in recent years, and video gaming remains one of its only bright spots. So as long as consumers are proving they’ll still pay $400 for a PS4, that’s where the price will stay.

Nintendo does have a comparable bundle to the one Microsoft is offering, and it’s more or less permanent. That would be their Smash Bros. package which sells the new fighting game with the Wii U for $300. Effective price: $240. But I would argue, much to the dismay of Nintendo fans, that the Wii U is fundamentally worth less (not “worthless”) as a console because of a complete lack of third party support. It simply does not play a huge host of multiplatform games that PS4 and Xbox One owners take for granted. As such, being $100 or so cheaper seems logical, though the low price hasn’t exactly spiked their sales, and they still lag behind both Sony and Microsoft, despite being released a full year earlier.

I’m not going to tell you to run out and buy an Xbox One. The system certainly has its problems and its competitors have their advantages. But this is without a doubt one of the deepest discounts any console has seen this generation, and a good way to get a new release of your choice for free, which rarely happens with these sorts of bundles. Microsoft really wants you to join Team Xbox, and they’re doing absolutely everything to try and make that happen in the wake of E3.

Bungie has stepped into an easily-avoidable minefield with a recent interview conducted by Eurogamer with Taken King Creative Director Luke Smith. The interview, which has been spread around the Destiny community far and wide since it was released, is incredibly testy and has rubbed most who have read it the wrong way.

Tom Phillips, the interviewer, sets out with two missions in mind. To understand why players who want the bonus content of the Taken King Collector’s Edition, new emotes and cosmetic items, have to rebuy content they already have, namely the base game and original DLC, in a pack which retails for $80 in the states. The second question is what exactly The Taken King contains where it’s worth a full $40, a very hefty price for DLC, and even for a full expansion in some players’ eyes.

What follows is Luke Smith doing everything possible to fumble the answers to both of these questions. I highly suggest you read the entire interview because from start to finish, it’s kind of astonishing how tone deaf every aspect of it is.

Without copying and pasting the entire thing, the long and short of it is that Smith can’t announce any new plans for players to get this extra content without rebuying things they already own, and he acts like he doesn’t understand why this is a big deal.

“It’s about value,” he says. “The player’s assessment of the value of the content.”

Meaning, Destiny fans will spend $80 on stuff they already have if that’s how badly they want new emotes and rare cosmetic items, and Bungie would be stupid not to let them. “If I fired up a video right now and showed you the emotes you would throw money at the screen,” he says, in the most quotable line of the interview.

Smith also defends the high price point with the notion that the DLC contains more stuff than all DLCs before it, but Phillips presses him on the fact that when it almost costs as much as the base game, it should have close to the same amount of content, and he has little else to say in reply.

I’ll even forgive this last issue for the moment. Like it or not, many high-priced expansions in this day and age don’t contain anywhere near the content of the original game, even with a high price point. Diablo 3’s Reaper of Souls expansion, for instance, was similarly priced to The Taken King, yet contained only one new Act (joining four) and one new class (joining five). Hardly 2/3rds the content of the original fans were hoping for. Similarly, $20 DLC doesn’t contain a third of what the original had in it either. That’s often just how it goes. That doesn’t mean Bungie and Smith are right, just that this is a common issue.

But the first issue about the Collector’s Editions and the exclusive emote and items? It’s just unforgivably stupid.

This issue has a solution so blindingly obvious it almost doesn’t even need to be said. Yes, Bungie wants to encourage new players to pick up Destiny, but the main draw of the Collector’s Edition isn’t these in-game items players want, it’s that you get $140 worth of content for $80. Veteran players just want a chance at their own Collector’s Edition that gets them The Taken King and these emotes and items, given that they already own everything else. So what to do?

Option 1: Bungie crafts such a Collector’s Edition and sells it for a bit more. $50 or so.

Option 2: Bungie just gives these sought-after items away with the full-priced Taken King as a “thank you” to longtime players.

I think option two has always been the obvious call because these items mean nothing to Bungie, and they’re not cannibalizing the existing Collector’s Edition that comes with them, because that’s aimed at people who don’t already own the game. Charging an extra $10 in a separate edition for a couple of emotes wouldn’t be great, and yet it’sstill better than the current state of things where literally the only thing players can do to get these items is to spend $80 on a four-piece content pack where they already own three pieces. It’s madness, and this smug interview is turning many fans off to The Taken King entirely.

What’s the most worrisome about the Luke Smith interview is not just its tone-deafness. It’s that he implies that Bungie could actuallybe considering selling things like emotes or shaders or cosmetics separately, something that hasn’t been touched on at all in the game’s existence so far. The lesson that this might be teaching Bungie is that players are willing to spend absurd amounts of money for something as simple as dance moves or class items, and instead of going the other way and gifting them for loyalty, they could set up shop and sell them as pricey microtransactions instead.

The entire interview is absolutely worth a read, and Bungie has to be scrambling for damage control after this. I have to believe that by the end of this week (or even the end of the day tomorrow at this rate) there will be something announced that will allow current players to get these emotes and other items without the $80 Collector’s Edition, and after this debacle, it had better damn well not cost anything for what amounts to a few bits of code.

If Bungie handled this the right way, maybe they could have started selling cosmetic items for real world cash, but now, all Luke Smith has done has made the developer look money hungry and almost delighted at the degree to which they can exploit their most loyal players. I know that philosophy can’t be shared by Bungie as a whole, but they have some serious work to do to make up for Smith’s missteps here.

Update: From Bungie Community Manager Deej: “Year One players won’t get the same perks as people who buy a collector’s edition. They’ll get something better. Tune into the Weekly Update for more.”

Four dance emotes?
